China Travel Asia By Train

China travel by train is a viable alternative to air travel, thanks to the fact that the country has focused on building high-speed networks that compete favorably with other modern modes of transport. Not only are these rail networks a greener mode of transit, but they also provide travel Asia enthusiasts with a unique and enjoyable experience as they take in the view along the way from Point A to Point B.

Some trains and travel companies even offer "land cruises" on luxury trains that look like they came from the colonial era. Trains that follow the route of the famed Orient Express offer a chance to experience classic train travel, but the price tag is steep. For those on a budget, it is still possible to build your own epic rail journey without dropping five figures on a ticket. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway offers one of the most scenic trips in China, running between the Southern boomtown of Guangzhou and the Tibetan city of Lhasa.
