Europe to China by Silk RouteCentral Asia by train . . .
https://www.seat61.com/SilkRoute.htm> The most usual (and easiest) route from Europe to China is via the classic Trans-Siberian Railway, shown in blue on the map below. But there is another route now open to foreigners, the so-called Silk Route via Kazakhstan, shown on the map in yellow. Let's be clear, if you want to travel between Europe and China, the main Trans-Siberian route is faster and easier to arrange, both in terms of visas and train tickets - for a start, just one Trans-Siberian train will get you all the way from Moscow to Beijing. The Silk route will take a little more thought and organisation, with more visas, train tickets and stopovers to arrange. However, this page will explain routes, train times, costs and how to buy tickets. You can also use trains to reach Central Asia from Europe and Moscow.> Step 1, London - Moscow - This is the first step, with daily trains taking 48 hours.> Step 2, Moscow - Almaty or Astana (Kazakhstan) - This is the direct option, take this route if you want to head straight for China.> Moscow - Bishkek (Kyrgistan)> Moscow - Tashkent (Uzbekistan) - Alternatively, take this train if you want to start by visiting Uzbekistan.> Tashkent - Samarqand - Bokhara & Urgench for Khiva - Trains link Tashkent with 3 of Uzbekistan's most remarkable cities.> Tashkent - Almaty> Step 3, Almaty or Astana - Ürümqi - The next step on the route to China.> Step 4, Ürümqi- Xian - Beijing - The final train ride into Xian & Beijing.Bunch of other options with pictures too
