What is the Trans-Siberian Railroad?
The main route, the Trans-Siberian,
runs from Moscow to Vladivostok via
southern Siberia and was built between
1891 and 1916. It is often associated
with the main Russian train that connects
these two cities. The second primary
route is the Trans-Mongolian, which
coincides with the Trans-Siberian as
far as Ulan Ude on Lake Baikal's eastern
shore. The Trans-Mongolian provides
the most exciting travel adventures
connecting 3 wonderful countries Mongolia,
China and Russia. From Ulan-Ude, Siberia
the Trans-Mongolian heads south to Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia before making its way southeast
to Beijing, China.
The Trans-Mongolian line follows the
same route as the Trans-Siberian between
Moscow and Ulan Ude, and then follows
this route to Mongolia and China:
The railway features many remarkable
bridges, the longest being Khabarovsk
Bridge (1916).
Branch off from the Trans-Siberian line
(5655 km from Moscow)
- Naushki (5895 km, MT+5), Russian border
town
- Russia-Mongolia border (5900 km, MT+5)
The
city of Karakorum: In 1220
great Chinggis Khaan declared it as
the capital city of his vast Empire.
Today there are many interesting sites
left to visit; the legendary turtle
rock sculptures, Buddhist stupas and
the ruins of this once great city to
name a few. Erdenezuu - the 1st Buddhist
monastery in Mongolia was established
in 1586. Today Erdenezuu monastery still
shows its glory with collections of
many priceless religious objects and
incredibly beautiful Mongolian arts.
It has a massive square wall, 420 meters
in length each side, 108 Stupas &
17 temples.
Hustai
National Park is the place
where the wild Takhi- Przewalski horses
have lived peacefully since 1993 when
they were reintroduced to their native
land Mongolia. Here we are able to see
and photograph these beautiful wild
horses at pasture and Red Deer, Wolf,
Asian Marmot, various species of waterfawls
and prey birds etc., as well.
