Great train journeys

In February this year the first direct cargo train travelled from China to Iran - a 10,399km journey taking a mere 14 days, a revival of the ancient silk trade route. This grand trans-Asian enterprise prompted our journalists to share stories of their most memorable train journeys across the region - from Mongolia to Moscow, calling at Taiwan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. With 91热爆 Uzbek's Hamid Ismailov, Giang Nguyen from our Vietnamese language service, Martin Yip of 91热爆 Chinese, and James Cowling from 91热爆 Africa.
