It crosses Siberia, Mongolia, the Gobi Desert and finally enters China. This journey takes six days from start to finish, but will show you more of Europe and Asian than the other Tran Siberian Railway tours. The final tour that is offered is called the Trans Manchurian line. It takes you from Moscow to Beijing but via a different route than the Mongolian route. This historical route does vary slightly from the original Trans Manchurian route, but only because of the technicalities involved in crossing the China-Russia border twice in one trip.
