I started the next stage of my rail journey through China. Train no T54 goes daily from Urumchi to Shanghai… When you are coming to the station first there is ticket check, then security screening then you must wait in the line udred the flag of your train. You are alloed to get to the platform only 10 minutes before train arrival (another ticket check at the entrance), The you form the line and wait. It is coming! Stoped! Now everybody can run to the door. Why, if the seats are numbered? To get enough space for your luggage on overhead racks. Chinese carry a lot of luggage!
Why I decided to go 4000 kms in one stage? Usualy people stop n the way in famous Xian, but I have been already there. During such a long journey you will see snowy mountains and desert, camels and donkeys on the pastures, deep gorges and huge rivers and much more. It is another big adventure!
