Every Wednesday and Saturday, there is a train departing from Beijing to Moscow. Passengers of these trains will spend six days to reach their destination, on what is dubbed the longest railway route in the world. Two separate routes are used, one by a K3 train and the other by a K19 train.
For the trip across Asia and Europe, if you choose to go by train, then we will recommend you use K3 train. This is because K3 train's route pass across Mongolia, while K19 go through Northeast China straight to Russia, it doesn't go across Mongolia.
To pass through the three countries, K3 train takes one day to cross China's border and one day to pass through Mongolia. Then it will spend four days running through the vast territory of Russia.
Imagine all the scenery you will experience along this journey, it is absolutely magical.
The first stop after departure from Beijing station is Zhangjiakou south. The scenery of this journey is very good, and the Yanshan Mountains can be seen at a glance.
Then the train will reach to Erlianhaote, the border city between China and Mongolia in the evening. Here, passengers are required to go through border procedures to process their exit.
While the train will be changing wheels to match those of Mongolian locomotive standards.

Travelling in K3 international train, one can have a panoramic view of grassland, forests, streams, lakes and many other natural landscapes.
In fact, a big deal of tourists spend most of their time at the rear of the train, with their upper body almost out of the window, holding the camera to photograph beautiful scenery.

Throughout the whole afternoon, the train will be passing in grasslands, there is no need to turn on the air conditioning, because once you open the window, a cool natural breeze will cool you away~

Train K3 arrive at sukhbator, a small town on the border of Russia and Mongolia, and people will go through exit formalities and inspection.
On the third day on the journey, if you wake up early in the morning, you will find yourself looking at the dream of Lake Baikal and its suffocating beauty will instantly surround you.
The train runs for three hours along this breathtaking lake.
At noon, the train will stop at the southernmost end of Lake Baikal, Sloudiyanka.
Traveling across Siberia for two days and two nights is just amazing and beautiful. Snow mountain, birch forest, blue lake, sky, birds, autumn, wooden houses, rivers, mountain springs, railway bridge, and the people.
It's great how so many beautiful things are combined! I mean, look at the pictures and enjoy the scenery yourself.

It is said that the scenery of the West Siberian plain and the pastoral style of Eastern Europe after yeka are as beautiful as the classics of oil painting. That's why the Russian people are "filled with poetry and fairy tales".

K3 leaves Yekaterinburg station, passes through the Asian and European boundary markers, and enters the European part of Russia. Here there are more cities and people than the Asian part of Russia.

Six days later, you can see the charming evening in Moscow, and the unforgettable journey has come to an end.
After seeing all this, I just want to turn off my cell phone and take just a book and a camera with me, and embark myself on this romantic journey of five days and six nights.
