Riding the Trans-Siberian Railway
Last summer, after completing our work in China, I took a trip of a lifetime on the Trans-Siberian
Railway. Leaving Beijing early on a Wednesday morning in July, my wife and I traveled through some
awesome (令人惊叹的) countryside before we arrived in Moscow the following Monday.
The first leg took us past the Great Wall and through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. At the Mongolian
Republic border, we had a delay (耽误) while the wheels were changed because the railway gauge is a
different size.
On our way to the capital, Ulan Baator (乌兰巴托), we saw herdsmen on horseback looking after
their cattle. There was a spectacular thunderstorm as we crossed a vast open plain. Later we had a quick
tour of Ulan Baator.
Next, the train took us into Siberia. After a stop at Irkutsk, a popular holiday resort (胜地), where a tour
group left the train, we passed a beautiful lake, the Lake Baikal. Later, we saw some lovely wooden houses
in pretty, sunny countryside. This surprised us, as we had imagined Siberia as being covered in thick snow.
Over the next few days, we passed through Novosibirsk, Omsk and other cities in the heartlands of the
Russian Federation. By now, our body clocks were losing their sense of time. We wanted to sleep and eat at
the wrong time!
At last we reached Moscow. We were too tired and slept for 16 hours that night. The next day we went
sightseeing. We saw the Kremlin and some other great buildings in the Russian capital. Then, all too soon, it
was time for us to return to our home in London.
