(Day 75 on the road) Beijing! After another good 30 hours on the train from Ulaan Baatar (with a short stop in Jinning to change trains and have a nice dinner), I have arrived in the Chinese capital. After traveling for exactly 7865 kilometers, today thus marks the day that I finished the Transsib. Starting in Moscow on May 13th and traveling all across Russia and Mongolia, it took me over a month to complete this epic journey, and it was worth every bit of it. I have met an unbelievable amount of nice people, both on the trains and on the streets, and of course in the hostels I stayed in.
Russia amazed me, and I guess I will be back to explore more one day. I had very limited expectations regarding Mongolia, but what I did find and experience was mesmerizing, the highlight certainly being the trip to the Gobi Desert. Now I am back in China, a country that has fascinated me for a long time, and this time I am planning to explore some areas of this huge country that I haven't previously visited (which is actually most of it).
Next stop: Beijing (China).
To view my photos, have a look at
pictures.beiske.com. And to read the full account of my journey, have a look at the complete
book about my trip at Amazon (and most other online book shops).

Do not do it in one time
