Trans Mongolian Route - is not arguably the most interesting route. The weekly Trans-Mongolian (train 4 eastbound, train 3 westbound) train leaves Moscow for Beijing every Tuesday night. The 7,621 km (4,735 mile) journey takes 6 days. This train crosses Siberia, cuts across Mongolia and the Gobi desert, then enters China and passes through the Great Wall. |
There's a second weekly train between Moscow and Ulan Bator (train 6 eastbound, train 5 westbound).
Alternatively, there are daily trains between Moscow and Irkutsk and a daily train between Irkutsk and Ulan Bator (train 263/264).
There are two trains a week between Ulan Bator and Beijing.
