This book takes the reader on some of the greatest train journeys on earth from the bustle of Hong Kong to the more placid beauty of Kunming, City of Eternal Spring, and from the rich and fertile lands of Manchuria to the barren spaces of the northwest and the Gobi Desert, along the mountain ranges to Tibet. The Chinese rail system itself, and the story of its growth, are fascinating many routes are still travelled by steam, and China is the only country in the world that still has steam locomotives in full production.
