Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Lake Baikal Railway, originally part of the Trans-Siberian Railway, has a total length of more than 80 kilometers, passing through 39 tunnels and a 29-kilometer-long gable built by the Italians. In the 1950s, due to the construction of a reservoir, a section of the railway around the lake was submerged, and the train was rerouted. After many years, this section of the abandoned railway was leased by a tourism company and developed into a one-day sightseeing tour route, which travels to and from Baikal port every two days. and Sliujiang truck station. There is only one official station along the way, and the driver will stop when you go to a place with beautiful scenery, giving enough time for tourists to take pictures and tour. During the day, tourists can take the train around the lake for sightseeing, and appreciate the vast and quiet beauty of Lake Baikal in all aspects. On one side of the railway are lake bays and lake shores, and on the other side are river valleys and mountain forests. The small mountain villages along the way are surrounded by woods and meadows, with Russian-style cabins, just like a classic oil painting with strong regional colors. There are about 20 scenic spots in the whole journey, but the train only stops at five or six scenic spots per trip, and the group tour is explained by a Russian-speaking guide. The TV on the train broadcasts a promo video of the scenery in Russian. Few of the flight attendants can speak simple English. Bring your own food and drink (there is also a bar and dining car on the train, selling simple food and drinks and smoked fish). After getting off the bus, you can have a picnic at the stop.

Amazing landscape and unique experience. I will recommend this journey to all train lovers who also respect real nature.
It is a good choice to take a train to Baikal Lake. There is a special train day trip. Everyone sits on the old-fashioned Redskins train, which surrounds Baikal Lake, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful. The train is divided into four locations where you can park your car and let everyone take pictures. It is definitely worth experiencing.
Taking the Baikal Lake train is a compulsory course to visit Baikal Lake, and it is also a feature that is different from other scenic spots. This 81 km long route built in the 19th century, through tunnels, bridges, forests, lakes, mountains, and many angles of the scenery of Baikal and the lake. The comfortable ride environment, thoughtful service and charming scenery bring us great enjoyment! The railway line almost well retains all the elements of the early construction, and it is a miracle!
The whole trip was fantastic
In winter, go to Baikal Lake to see bubbles and blue ice.
Good trip, very good
I think the price is very high, and the slow train can play for a day. There will be a lot of stops in the middle to take pictures. Be sure to come in autumn, and the leaves along the way are very, very beautiful when they are yellow! I was half a month early this time. There will be some small houses along the way of the train stop, very delicate and full of flowers. It is recommended to bring some food, because there is less food to sell along the way. In the evening, you will pass through a town, where you can also buy smoked fish. This fish will never be forgotten after eating in Listevyanka! Take a look at the picture below along the way, you can book a small train ticket on Taobao!
Come to Baikal Lake to play, train tour is not to be missed, sitting on the old-fashioned steam train, crossing the mountain and crossing the mountains along the beautiful blue Baikal Lake, along the way, the blue water, green mountains, forests, snow mountains all like a fairy tale world, beautiful and moving, absolutely a rare experience in life.
