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.
