Welcome to the Trans-Siberian Railway Snow-dusted or sun-kissed steppe and taiga, the Gobi Desert and the Great Wall – the Trans Siberian routes unite landscapes and experiences into the journey of a lifetime. Why I Love the Trans-Siberian Railway - Simon Richmond, Writer Etched on my memory is the research trip I made for the first edition of the Trans-Siberian Railway guidebook: I was arrested on a platform and separated from my luggage (including computer, notes and nearly all my money), which continued on the train into Siberia. The day was saved by a wonderful collection of Russians who pulled together to reunite me with all my belongings. Awesome engineering feat it may be, but it’s the chance to make friends and connect with Russians and other nationalities on the Trans-Siberian Railway that really makes the journey so special. Moscow's Kremlin Red Square This ancient fortress is the founding site of Moscow and the ultimate symbol of political power in Russia. Within its ancient walls you can admire the artistry of Russia’s greatest icon painters, gawk at the treasure trove that fueled a revolution, shed a tear for Russia’s great and tragic rulers, and climb the tower for an amazing panorama. Flanking the northeastern wall of the Kremlin, Red Square is dominated by bold towers and the colorful domes of St Basil’s Cathedral. Barguzin Valley The remote and romantically timeless Barguzin Valley is said to have been the birthplace of Chinggis (Genghis) Khaan’s mother. It is one of the Baikal region’s most attractive places and, despite the trickle of visitors fi nding their way into the region these days, remains one of the least visited spots around Lake Baikal. Snow-dusted peaks and curious rock formations gaze down upon a landscape dotted with salt lakes and fairytale wooden villages, where horse carts and sleighs are more numerous than cars.
