What does a train look like in everyone's eyes? The smell of smoke, the crying of children or something? In fact, in addition to these, there are some very beautiful scenic spots on the train that can be watched. The following small series will recommend some good scenic spots for everyone to see. Venice Simplon Orient Express
This train once carried princes and princesses, spies and fraudsters from all over the world across Eurasia. After 94 years of operation, countless legends have been left behind. There are 6 movies and 19 novels based on it, and there is also a song, Russian Golden Eagle Train
, which spans up to 8 time zones and comes all the way from the coast, with panoramic views of forests, grasslands, lakes, streams, snow-capped mountains and other magnificent natural scenery along the way
It's nearly two weeks away, and it feels like a cruise train. The train is equipped with bathroom, laundry service, air conditioning, TV, pianist and English-speaking doctor. In order to help passengers adapt to the new environment, this train will provide five-star accommodation for passengers in Moscow and Vladivostok, so that tourists can enjoy the most comfortable service.
This train runs from the capital Pretoria to Cape Town, with a total length of 1,611 kilometers and a journey of nearly 27 hours. In addition to luxurious environmental facilities, each suite also has a housekeeper on call 24 hours a day. In a comfortable environment, guests can enjoy the delicious food freshly cooked in master chef while enjoying the changeable African scenery flashing through the window.
2116 is the 71th anniversary of the Blue Train, so a special trip to Pretoria is provided: from pritt, Judez to Kruger National Park, you can enjoy the unique South African style and the pride of Africa with a wide field of vision.
The speed of the pride of Africa is slower than that of the blue train, passing through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Tanzania. The speed of the train is less than 61 kilometers per hour. Passengers can open the window to breathe fresh air or take pictures of the landscape. The staff will also provide goggles, so that they don't have to worry about sticking their heads out of the window and getting lost in the dust. Australia's Ganxian Railway
This two-day train runs through the north and south of the Australian mainland, passing through the bushes and pastures near Adelaide, the desert shrubs and eucalyptus bushes in Claire Valley, and the rust-colored red central region. The tropical area with lush plants at the northern end of Australia finally reaches Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory of Australia.
If the toll allows, tourists can choose a platinum-rated carriage, which can be 1/3 cheaper. However, the platinum carriage is equipped with a private box and a separate bathroom, which can be transported by car and can also get catering services. The dishes are full of Australian local flavor. Loki climber
Rocky climber, such as Australian lungfish and roasted kangaroo meat, travels from western Canada to the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Along the way, you can see wilderness, black lava cliffs, grand canyons, glacial lakes, turbulent rivers, bighorn sheep, and even the luxury royal train of black bears or grizzlies in Scotland.
This is the most famous transnational railway with almost the longest distance in the world. I took a domestic train from Beijing to Manzhouli, a place on the Sino-Russian border, and then changed at the border, 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, not many people have experienced it. If you have time, it is still worth a visit.
In fact, the highlight is the long distance. It is impossible to experience the feeling of being on the train all week. On the other hand, the scenery around Lake Baikal is really beautiful, and at the beginning of the trip, the excitement is full.
tips:
There are several tips on this line. Because the journey takes too long, you must prepare local phone cards and buy them locally, so that you can at least make a circle of friends, otherwise you will only be in a daze every day, or you will stay in the end!
In addition, we must prepare some dry food: there is no restaurant like ours in Russian trains. There is nothing in their restaurants, and the so-called dining car that walks around only has melon seeds, hard bread and vodka. So in order to survive, you should prepare some dry food yourself.
finally, the most important thing is! Be sure to bring enough vodka! The most famous local "drink" in Russia, except for watching the scenery, sleeping and making friends, most of the time can only be spent by vodka. After a few drinks, you can feel that time flies. Don't worry about missing the beautiful scenery, because there is actually nothing particularly breathtaking behind. St. Petersburg, Russia-Sochi coastal train
Yes, it's still Russia, because I was in Russia for a whole month and went to the Arctic Circle, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Lake Baikal and Sochi, all of which arrived by train. Besides the railway from Beijing to Moscow just mentioned, this is the train along the coast.
it was the first time I took a train along the coast, listening to songs and watching the sunset at sea. wow, it felt great. Moreover, this coastal train is particularly close to the sea, so close that if the window can be opened, it can meet tourists on the beach. So this line is recommended by 5 stars! Seattle, USA-Vancouver, Canada
is another transnational train, the same coastal train, which leaves around 8 am and can arrive in Vancouver around 12 noon. In fact, the distance is not far, but in order to let tourists enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seaside, he will deliberately slow down on some sections to let you take pictures to your heart's content. In this respect, the United States has done a good job. In addition, 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, then print them out and give them to the conductor, and you can get on the bus. In addition, you don't need to go through customs. When the train finally arrives in Vancouver, you can go through Canadian customs. Save a lot of time and complicated procedures. Golden pass, Switzerland
I was from Montreux-Zweisimmen at that time, which lasted only 2-3 hours. The most beautiful thing about him is that the window is very large, and the view is completely unobstructed. In addition, the position of the roof is glass except the top, which feels 361 degrees without dead ends. In addition, it is more beautiful than this. In winter, it is snowing outside and drinking hot tea inside. Swiss Glacier Express
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 oversized panoramic window mentioned just now, 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 that he stopped on a cliff, with mountains on one side and cliffs on the other. I leaned my head out a little, which scared me half to death, but the more thrilling the place was, the more amazing the scenery was. In addition, for the first time, I realized that all the mountains and even the ground, all the places you can see, are covered with snow. That kind of eyeful white, coupled with direct vision, makes my eyes hard to open. Only then did I know that this is the real bright blind! Sri Lankan trains
There are two kinds of trains in Sri Lanka, one is on the coast and the other is on the mountain, both of which are highly recommended.
First of all, the sea is comparable to the coastline of Maldives
This train line has the same effect as 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 in Sri Lanka at a closer distance. Just like the song: the most romantic thing I can think of is to watch the sea with you.
One thing you must do when you come to Sri Lanka is to take a train along the coastline and have a wonderful train trip along the coast. It is said that this is the inspiration for the sea train in Spirited Away, Miyazaki Hayao.
The mountain train is completely different from the sea train. The mountain train in Sri Lanka travels at a height of about 1,811 meters, passes through the vast and green tea garden, and travels in the clouds and rain in the virgin forest zone, so you can experience the charming mountain scenery on Sri Lanka Island, which is very touching.
Although Sri Lanka is close to India, they are not as arrogant as Indians, and feel that they are much stronger than China, which makes them inaccessible. On the contrary, because they live along the coast, they live happily every day, so this happy atmosphere will also bring us tourists. So it's also a train ride. Compared with the cold in Russia, Sri Lanka gives people a closer feeling! Bergen Railway in Norway
The highest railway line in northern Europe overlooks Norway's most primitive glacier fjord. The 7-hour trip will cross the high mountains between Oslo and Bergen, and the barren Hardanger Mountain Plateau, the largest wilderness reserve in Europe, and finally reach Bergen, a Hanseatic League city with flowers and plants.
The most beautiful part of the whole train journey is from mydral to flam. It is said to be the most beautiful railway line in the world, and you can see glaciers, cliffs and fjords. Moreover, compared with the first two Swiss railways I mentioned, it is not only slow, giving you enough time to take pictures, but also in the middle two places, even stopping to let tourists go outside to take pictures. This kind of intimate service. Qinghai-Tibet Railway
After talking about foreign countries, let's talk about domestic railways. Needless to say, the most famous railway must be Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which has almost become the new seven wonders of the world many times.
It starts in Xining City, Qinghai Province, passes through Kunlun Pass, crosses 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 to Tibet, known as the Heavenly Road, and it is the plateau railway with the highest altitude and the longest journey on frozen soil in the world. Because the whole journey is basically in 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 this did not affect the beautiful scenery of Tibet, which is why in recent years, if you have never been to Tibet or Yunnan, you are embarrassed to deal with others. Among them, the most beautiful passages are in Naqu and Qinghai Lake. Naqu lies in flocks of sheep walking around slowly on the green hillside. Qinghai Lake lies in the lake, which is natural and pure, without any pollution.
