Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
6 great
secrets from the Trans-Siberian railway
This probably
is the most famous railway in the world, for the last 100 years.
Yes, the
Trans-Siberian railway was completed a year before the Russian Empire collapsed
during the World War I. The most notable passenger of that time was then Tsar,
Nicholas II, who was abdicated and later executed during the Russian
Revolution.
It is famous
for the original line between Moscow and Vladivostok passing along Lake Baikal,
the deepest lake in the world that sits north of the Mongolian border. Those
who took this train ride often mention that seeing this beautiful lake from the
train was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
But there are lesser
known railway routes that travel Siberia. One goes to through Manchuria to Beijing
from the lake and another through Mongolia. Passengers of these lines can
experience trans-cultural places and scenes from the train.
Enjoy reading
the guide and seeing the photos of this 100-year-old railway.
