1. There are two trains between Moscow and Beijing, four of which pass through Mongolia and Zhangjiakou. They leave at about 2 1: 30 every Tuesday night, and the travel time is 136 hours. It passes through Manzhouli, Harbin and Changchun for 20 times, leaving every Friday night at around 12, and the driving time is 149 hours. Depending on the car, the fare is between 220 and 350 dollars.

There are not many people taking the train now, and the public security on the train is not as terrible as the legend. However, the trains in Russia are not better than those in Europe. The so-called good conditions, that is, a four-person box, are not much better. Sitting for a week is also quite uncomfortable. The biggest advantage is that you can have unlimited luggage and see the Siberian forest. The end of September is 65438+1early October is the most beautiful time.

I heard from my friend that it is not difficult to buy a ticket, but I didn't ask the station for confirmation. If you are not in a hurry, I will go to the station to get it for you at the weekend. In Russia, you can only spend in rubles, and direct foreign exchange transactions are illegal unless you buy souvenirs at a stall. But it's convenient to change money in Moscow. There are exchange points everywhere in the street, where you can exchange euros and dollars.
