Research interests in the node cities along the Belt and Road have been increasing since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed in 2013. Most of the existing studies tend to analyze the Belt and Road Initiative qualitatively, either regard a single node city as the subject, or take one aspect of the node cities into consideration. However, we select 10 inland node cities as our study subjects and quantitatively evaluate them from 2009 to 2018, based on the definition of node cities, theory of comprehensive carrying capacity, and a set of evaluation methods. In our article, we first defined node cities and explained why the 10 inland node cities were chosen. And then we set up an evaluation index system with 5 subsystems, 25 indicators (10 unique indicators for the Belt and Road), which were estimated with the application of analytic hierarchy process method, principal component analysis method, improved entropy, and multiobjective linear weighting function method. We made some progress in the entropy method, which was not limited to calculate a single city's weight at a specific time, but 10 node cities with 10-year-time span. Finally, we analyzed the evaluation results and made some policy suggestions. Our quantitative and systematic studies can not only fill the previous global and local theoretical gaps to some degree, but also provide some valuable theories and measures for the government and practitioners in the country to solve the problems encountered by Chinese node cities during their contribution to the building of the Belt and Road.
