Moscow - Beijing
Vostok #20 Moscow - Beijing |
The Vostok (translated as the East) train began service from Moscow to Beijing in 2001. It is a Trans-Manchurian train and therefore does not pass through Mongolia (which means that a Mongolian visa is not required). Many people from Russia and China use this train to transport their wares between the 2 countries - so, you'll see many people with large bags on the train. The train is quite modern with comfortable 1st and 2nd class compartments and a good restaurant. Wheels are changed on the boarder Russia-China. It takes about few hours. |
