The answer to your question is that there are no direct trains from Beijing to Russia. However, you can take a train from Beijing West Railway Station to Moscow via various routes and connections.
One option is to take the Trans-Siberian Express (号) from Beijing West to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, then transfer to another train to Irkutsk or Vladivostok in Russia. From there, you can catch a domestic Russian train to Moscow.
The ticket prices vary depending on the class of service and route. Here are some approximate price ranges:
- Hard seat: ¥300-500 (around $45-75 USD)
- Soft sleeper: ¥800-1,200 (around $120-180 USD)
- Luxury sleeper: ¥2,000-3,000 (around $300-450 USD)
Please note that these prices are estimates and may vary depending on the time of booking, seasonal demand, and other factors. I recommend checking with a reliable ticketing platform or a travel agency for more accurate pricing information.
As for where to buy tickets, you can try platforms like:
- China Railway Corporation (CR) online booking system
- Russian Railways (РЖД) website
- Third-party ticketing agencies specializing in international trains
Keep in mind that these options may have language barriers or complexity, so it’s recommended to consult with a travel agency specialized in train journeys for more assistance.
