Exploring Scenic Railways Around the World

News summary

The Trans-Mongolian Railway, completed in 1956, spans 2,215 kilometers from Mongolia's northern border with Russia to China's Inner Mongolia, offering a scenic journey through diverse landscapes including taiga, steppes, and the Gobi Desert. While horses have long been integral to Mongolian culture, the railway has become a favored mode of travel, connecting remote towns and showcasing the country's natural beauty. British rail travel expert Mark Smith highlights the stark contrast between rural Mongolia's nomadic life and urban Ulaanbaatar, where over half the country's population resides. Travelers to Ulaanbaatar should consider visiting the historic train station, which features elegant chandeliers. The railway experience is a testament to Mongolia's rich cultural heritage and evolving identity in the modern world. Other scenic railways include Italy's Neapolitan Line and India's Kalka-Shimla route, each offering unique landscapes and cultural experiences.
