Five Must-Ride Trains for Traveling Within China

1️⃣ K9628 Romantic Journey

🔥 Route: Lijiang—Dali

🌟 A double-decker train equipped with a bar and a bedroom.

One carriage is a specially designed music bar, featuring onboard WiFi and live singers. Passengers can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yunnan while listening to wonderful music.

2️⃣ K114 North-South Journey

🔥 Route: Heilongjiang—Hainan

🌟 A train traveling from winter to summer, which will take a ferry during the trip.

Running between the beautiful Ice City of Harbin and the romantic Coconut City of Haikou, this journey takes you from the snowy black soil to the vast plains of North China.

🔥 Route: Border Manzhouli—Harbin

🌟 A train aptly named the "Snow Country Train."

In winter, there will be sections where the snow is higher than the train itself. The journey from the border town of Manzhouli to Harbin crosses the Hulunbuir Grassland and enters the Greater Khingan Range. Along the way, you'll see forests, grasslands, and lakes, with the chance to spot wild animals.

4️⃣ K9811 Sacred Journey

🔥 Route: Xining—Lhasa

🌟 A train truly deserving of the title "Sacred Journey."

Traveling to Lhasa, it parallels the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The route includes crossing snow-capped mountains, passing through the uninhabited areas of Kekexili, and entering the northern Tibetan grasslands from the Tanggula Mountains, offering spectacular views along the way.

5️⃣ K19

🔥 Route: Beijing—Moscow

🌟 The interesting feature of this train is the "track change."

The track gauges in China differ from those in Russia and Mongolia. During the track change, the entire carriage is lifted.
