By train through the steppe

Number Three, this is the official name of the express train (also called Trans-Mongolian Railway), is the best and most comfortable way to visit the immense prairies of the steppe. Full of tourists from all over the world, it departs from Ulan-Bator and in 30 hours reaches Peking through the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, and inland Mongolia and Hebei in China. Unforgettable sights provide a backdrop for the two days and one night’s journey: the eyes get lost in boundless meadows and steppes.
