Canadian Loki climber
This is the most famous and longest transnational railway in the world. At that time, I took a Russian domestic train from Beijing to Manzhouli, a place on the Sino-Russian border, then transferred to the border and drove all the way through Lake Baikal to Moscow.
This railway is almost the most classic railway in the world, but although many people know it, few people have experienced it. If you have time, it is worthwhile to experience it once.
In fact, on the one hand, the highlight lies in the long distance and the feeling of being on the train all week, which is impossible all over the world. On the other hand, the scenery around Lake Baikal is really beautiful, and the excitement is enough at the beginning of the trip.
tip:
there are several tips in this line. Because the journey time is too long, you must prepare a local calling card, which you can buy locally, so that you can at least send a circle of friends, otherwise you can only stay in a daze every day, or stay in a daze!
Besides, we must prepare some dry food: there is no restaurant like ours on the Russian train. There is nothing in their restaurant. The so-called walking dining car only has melon seeds, hard bread and vodka. So in order to survive, we should prepare some dry food ourselves.
last but not least! Be sure to bring enough vodka! The most famous "drink" in Russia. On the way, besides seeing the scenery, sleeping and making friends, many other times can only be spent by vodka. After a few drinks, you can feel how time flies. Don't worry about missing the beautiful scenery, because there is nothing particularly suffocating behind.
The luxury royal train in Scotland
Yes, it was still Russia, because I stayed in Russia for a whole month, and I went to the Arctic Circle, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Lake Baikal and Sochi, all by train. In addition to the railway from Beijing to Moscow just mentioned, it is a coastal train.
that was the first time I took a coastal train, listening to songs and watching the sunset on the sea. Wow, it feels great. Moreover, this coastal train is so close to the sea that I feel that if I can open the window, I can meet tourists on the beach. So this line is recommended by 5 stars!
Russia's St. Petersburg-Sochi coastal train
is another transnational train and the same coastal train. Depart around 8 am and arrive in Vancouver around 12 noon. In fact, it's not far, but in order to let tourists enjoy the beautiful scenery by the sea, he will deliberately slow down on some sections to let you take pictures to your heart's content. In this regard, the practice of the United States is still in place. Besides, in the early morning, some lakes are very calm. If you are good at taking pictures, they are still very beautiful.
Tips: You can book tickets online in advance, and then print them out and give them to the conductor for boarding. In addition, there is no need to go through customs on the way. When the train finally arrives in Vancouver, you can go through Canadian customs. Save a lot of time and complicated procedures.
: Seattle, USA-Vancouver, Canada
. I was from Montreux-Zweissman, and it only took 2-3 hours. The most beautiful thing about him is that the window is large and his view is completely unobstructed. And the top of the roof is made of glass, which feels 361 degrees without dead ends. Besides, what is more beautiful than this is that in winter, it is snowing heavily outside and there is hot tea inside.
golden pass, Switzerland
Switzerland is the most suitable country for train travel. It is a small country with beautiful scenery, so the train is the first choice. In addition to the huge panoramic window just mentioned, the most famous one is that he claims to be the slowest train in the world, with an average speed of only 41 km/h. At that time, he stopped directly for tourists to take pictures. The most thrilling time was when he stopped on a cliff, with mountains on one side and cliffs on the other. I stuck my head out a little and scared me half to death, but the more thrilling the place, the more beautiful the scenery. Besides, I realized for the first time that all the places you can see are covered with snow. The eyeful of white, coupled with the direct gaze, makes my eyes bright and hard to open. I don't know that time. So this is really brightening your eyes!
Swiss Glacier Express
There are two kinds of trains in Sri Lanka, one is by the sea and the other is on the mountain, both of which are highly recommended.
Let's talk about the coastline of Maldives at sea.
this train line is similar to the coastal train in Sochi, Russia. The only difference is that the train in Sri Lanka can stick its head out, but the window in Russia can't be opened. So although it is a small difference, you can feel the beauty of being blown by the sea breeze at a closer distance in Sri Lanka. Just like that song: The most romantic thing I can think of is watching the sea with you.
One thing you must do when you come to Sri Lanka is to take a train and walk along the coastline, and have a wonderful train trip along the coast. It is said that this is the inspiration for the Miyazaki Hayao Spirited Away mile sea train.
The difference between mountain trains and sea trains is that the mountain trains in Sri Lanka travel at an altitude of about 1,811 meters, pass through the vast green tea gardens and walk through the clouds and rain in the virgin forest, and you can experience the charming mountain scenery on Sri Lanka Island, which is fascinating.
Although Sri Lanka is close to India, they are not as arrogant as Indians, and feel that they are much better than China, which makes them inaccessible. On the contrary, because they live on the coast and live comfortably every day, this happy atmosphere will also bring us tourists. So it's also by train. Compared with the cold in Russia, Sri Lanka gives people a close feeling!
Sri Lanka Train
The highest railway line in northern Europe overlooks Norway's most primitive glacier fjord. The 7-hour journey will cross the high mountains between Oslo and Bergen, and the barren Ha Dangel Mountain Plateau, the largest wasteland reserve in Europe, and finally reach the lush Hanseatic League city of Bergen.
the most beautiful part of the whole train journey is from mydral to flam. It is known as the most beautiful railway line in the world. It can see glaciers, cliffs and fjords. More importantly, compared with the first two Swiss railways I mentioned earlier, it is not only slow, but also gives you enough time to take pictures. It is in two places in the middle, and even stops for tourists to take pictures outside. This kind of thoughtful service, I have been on the railway so many times.
Bergen Railway in Norway
After talking about foreign railways, let's talk about domestic railways. Needless to say, the most famous railway must be the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which has almost become the new seven wonders of the world for many times.
It starts in Xining, Qinghai, passes through Kunlun Pass, passes through Tanggula Pass, and enters Amdo, Naqu, Dangxiong and Lhasa in Xizang Autonomous Region. With a total length of 1,956 kilometers, it is an important road leading to Tibet, known as Tianlu, and it is also the highway with the highest altitude and the longest distance on frozen soil in the world. Because the whole journey is basically on the plateau, oxygen has been replenished in the carriage, and the oxygen content inside is said to be a little higher than that in the normal plain, so I felt that my breathing was not very smooth at that time, but it did not affect the beauty of Tibet. That's why in recent years, if you haven't been to Tibet or Yunnan, you are embarrassed to deal with others. Among them, the most beautiful sections are Naqu and Qinghai Lake. Groups of sheep walk slowly on the green hillside. Qinghai Lake lies in the lake, which is natural and pure without any pollution.
