rex travel -- beijing to moscow rail journey beijing to moscow china, mongolia & siberia on the nostalgic istanbul orient express via trans-mongolian & trans-siberian rail lines with an optional extension to st. petersburg beijing * gobi desert * ulan bator * ulan ude * lake baikal * irkutsk * novosibirsk * yaroslavl * moscow an epic rail journey across the empire of genghis khan for two thousand years, waves of nomadic warriors poured from the steppes of eurasia. now lands once ridden by genghis khan are traversed by the world's most remarkable railway, beckoning us to discover the cultural riches along its length. the journey of a lifetime in the 13th century the mongol empire stretched from the far east to eastern europe, from beijing to moscow and beyond. created by genghis khan, and later ruled by his grandson, kublai khan, it was the greatest continuous land empire the world has ever known. to explore these vast and ruggedly beautiful lands, we follow the rail lines of the legendary trans-mongolian and trans-siberian railways -- from the great wall through the golden dunes of the gobi to the grasslands of mongolia. then along the south shore of 400 mile-long lake baikal, the planet's oldest and deepest lake, and across the siberian steppes to the kremlin. our private train, fitted with mahogany and brass, carries us comfortably through inner mongolia, outer mongolia, and siberia. we travel across the far reaches of one continent to the doorstep of another, stopping often to visit with the people and learn about their region's history -- at a remote buddhist monastery, at a traditional mongolian yurt camp, and in frontier towns that have grown up along the world's longest railroad. we encounter desert nomads who owe their existence to the steadfastness of their bactrian (two-humped) camels, and mongolian families whose lives are intertwined with those of their ponies. today this part of the world is again in transition due to the far-reaching political changes that recently have swept over the land -- not from the north like the mongols, but from within. it is an especially fascinating time to travel across eurasia. we invite you to join us. 2004 usa departures: tba 15-day journeys from $8,998 beijing to moscow | itinerary | the train to check availability or receive additional information on the beijing to moscow rail journey, drop us a note, or call.... 800-777-7739 adventure | cruises | tours | rail private jet | what's new | tools | home ~ rex travel ~ 100 n. lasalle, suite 2010 chicago, il 60602 phone: (800) 777-7739 or + 312 641-6633 telefax: + 312 641-6641 office hours: monday - friday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm, cst e-mail: vacation@rextravel.com reprinted with permission of uniworld. © copyright 2003 all rights reserved. the use of, access to, and correspondence with this site is subject to certain terms and conditions content provided by online travel content, inc.
