The K3 train (or K3/4) is the historic weekly international service running from Beijing to Moscow via Mongolia (Trans-Mongolian route), departing Beijing on Wednesdays and taking about six days, offering deluxe and hard sleeper berths across China, Mongolia, and Russia. It's a famous part of the Trans-Siberian Railway, known for its scenic journey through the Gobi Desert and Siberia, though its operation status can vary, so checking with travel agents like China International Travel Service (CITS) or Travel China Guide for current schedules and ticketing is essential, as it faced suspensions due to recent global events.

Key Features of the K3 Train:

• Route: Beijing (China) → Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) → Moscow (Russia).
• Schedule: Departs Beijing every Wednesday.
• Journey Time: Approximately 6 days (around 131 hours).
• Carriages: Offers Deluxe Soft Sleeper (2-berth) and Hard Sleeper (4-berth) compartments.
• Tickets: Sold through agencies like CITS and Travel China Guide using a valid passport, with visas required for transit countries.

How to Book:

• Due to its complexity, booking through specialized travel agencies (like CITS or TCG) is highly recommended over trying to buy at the station.
• Book well in advance (weeks to months).

Current Status Note:

• While a historic and popular service, the K3/4 train has faced suspensions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical situations, so confirm its operational status before planning your trip.
