Transnational K3 special train: changing train drivers many times along the way, the fare is higher than that of the plane, and it is still popular with tourists.

This article is about 2700 words, mainly sharing the traffic strategy about traveling to Russia. The main content is to introduce the traffic strategy of traveling abroad (Russia). I wrote this article because the movie Lost in Russia made many people pay attention to K3, a transnational train, and began to pay attention to Russian tourism. Then, regarding the question of whether it is better to fly to Russia or take K3 mentioned in the movie, please explain K3 to everyone.

The main feature of this strategy is that it can help you understand the history and riding style of K3, as well as the scenery you can see during the journey, and compare the advantages of the two aircraft. I hope my strategy can help people who want to go to Russia and need to choose between two modes of transportation.

The story of Lost in Russia, the main body of the film, all happened on the K3 train. This train bound for Russia can be said to make countless people who have seen movies yearn for it. So what kind of train is this K3 train? I believe some people know, some people have never heard of it, and they can also go to Russia by train!

History of K3/4 Train

In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Soviet Union gave China great assistance, and because China was adjacent to the land of the Soviet Union at that time, a train connecting China and the Soviet Union was built in the early days of the founding of New China for convenient transportation. Moreover, its K3/4 train is not the only train bound for Moscow in China. The earliest train stopped as early as 1996. K3/4 train is the second train in China. The earliest train was the K 19/20 from 1954 and the K34 from 1959.

From June 4th, 65438 to June 4th, 0959, K3/4 train has been running between Beijing and Moscow, except for some international situations. During this period of history, this train also witnessed a lot of history. In history, K3/4 train was expelled from the Soviet Union because of the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations and repeated adjustments, but it was finally solved.

In fact, before 2000, K3/4 train was mainly an ordinary international train, on the one hand, because civil aviation was not developed enough at that time, on the other hand, this train also carried some freight at that time. Around 2000, the number of passengers on K3/4 train began to change gradually, especially from Beijing to Moscow, and more and more China tourists began to choose this train which is more expensive than air tickets.

Beautiful scenery along the train.

The current K3 train will leave Beijing, enter Mongolia through Erenhot, cross Mongolia into Russia, and finally arrive in Moscow. Passing through many beautiful cities along the way, there are also many beautiful scenery. The train takes 6 days from Beijing to Moscow, stops at 45 stations and passes through nearly 50 cities.

At present, the fare of K3 train is indeed more expensive than that of airplane, but it is still difficult to get tickets for this kind of train. Mainly because there are many famous scenery along this train, many people yearn for the experience of passengers enjoying the scenery by train.

First of all, in China, that is, from Beijing to Erenhot, out of Beijing, journey to the south by train and Zhangjiakou, there is the endless Inner Mongolia grassland, and the purest heaven and earth can be seen in the train window.

In Mongolia, it will stop in seven cities in Mongolia. In Mongolia, you can see the infinite urban and rural scenery of this country. Although you can't name the place names of Mongolia except the ruins, the scenery is really the kind of beauty that many people yearn for.

After Mongolia, I will spend a few days in Siberia, Russia, passing through the famous Lake Baikal and many historic Russian cities, and see many beautiful scenery in Russia.

In fact, it is better to say the specific scenery than the characteristics of the scenery along the way, because in fact, the whole journey of six days is equivalent to sitting on the palm-sized sightseeing bus, along the railway track, watching the scenery from Beijing to Moscow. There are really not many beautiful scenery that can really be named. One feature of the scenery along the way is emptiness. In fact, going north from Beijing, except for cities, forests and grasslands, although there are occasional mountains, they are all vast plains. The second feature is that the colors along the way are very comfortable, because you will pass through many grasslands and forests, and these forests have different styles, so the colors are changeable, whether green or gold, which will make people feel happy.

K3/4 riding precautions

Of course, after all, it is better to experience it. How to experience this train is introduced in detail here.

The first thing is to buy a ticket. We won't say much about the fare. If we want low prices, Ann must fly. The ticket price of this train is really expensive. As far as I know, the way to buy tickets can only be bought at the window of the railway (two years ago). Although it can be found on 12306, it can only be purchased on site. This train ticket is generally difficult to buy, so it is recommended to buy it in advance.

In addition, in addition to buying train tickets, you need to apply for a visa. Because as a transnational train, it passes through Mongolia, so you must have a Mongolian visa and a Russian visa at the destination, otherwise you will not be able to get on the train or encounter trouble on the way. Although we didn't see Xu Ivan applying for visas from two countries in the movie, it was a movie after all, and it would be very troublesome for us not to apply for visas.

In addition, the seats on this train are the same as those in our movies, similar to the soft sleeper in China. Actually, personally, I feel very comfortable. Because it is an international train, the journey time is relatively long, so this train will not be as crowded as domestic trains, and the overall environment is still very good.

Another thing to know is that this train is operated by railway departments in different countries, so it will be replaced by a Mongolian train driver in Mongolia and a Russian train driver in Russia. In fact, when the car is going, you will find it more and more exotic.

Although the place where this train passes is very cold for most of the year, it is actually very warm inside. So in fact, you don't have to worry about the cold along the way, the parking time at each station will not be too long, and you won't stay at a station for too long.

As for eating, although the restaurant on the bus is a bit expensive, it is still worth a try, because in different countries, there will still be different flavors. Besides, you can really bring your own food, just like in the movie.

Why choose K3/4 instead of plane?

In fact, just like the fact in the movie, K3/4 train has no advantages in convenience, speed and price, so why choose to take this train instead of flying? Of course not because the average hourly price is cheap.

The first is the value of this line. For many people, the value of this train lies in traveling. The original value of the line has long been buried with the development of various means of transportation, so personally, I don't choose the plane first because the train is more valuable than the plane. The plane only provides transportation. This train has added value, but the plane doesn't.

The second is experience. I believe many people will not take this train often. The reason why they take this train is to have such an experience, which is rare in the world today. This is an attractive point. In addition, this kind of experience can give people beautiful enjoyment, which is another point. These two experiences are another reason why many people choose trains instead of planes.

Finally, it is retro feelings. In fact, green leather cars are all memories for people in our country now. This memory is a feeling of the past that can't be retrieved. Therefore, many people choose to take this international train, and there are also factors to find feelings.

Write it at the end

What is valuable is that the K3/4 train is still running. Maybe in a few years, this train will no longer operate, which will be a huge loss. The scenery of this train in the movie is not the key point, so many people need to have the opportunity to take this train.

Perhaps it is wrong to compare this kind of train with an airplane, because although they are both means of transportation, they have different attributes for people.
