The Trans-Siberian Rail Guide details all the major routes: Trans-Siberian, Trans-Mongolian, and Trans-Manchurian; and their natural branches and extensions: Central Asia and the Silk Route, Indo-China, North Korea and Alaska (via the Russian Far East). Fully up-to-date with the rapidly changing scene in Russia, The Trans-siberian Rail Guide includes European, Asian and North American gateways, and easy-to-follow strip maps of the railway route. Also featured are numerous tips on officialdom, security, money, climate, food, essential phrases in Russian, Chinese and Mongolian, along with travellers' anecdotes from the turn of the century to the present day.
