Train Datong-Taiyuan

Rem Sapozhnikov / August 2016
The morning after a visit to Mount Hengshan, I left the city of Datong. I took the train K961 and went to Taiyuan to participate in the event "Shanxi through the eyes of foreigners".

Distance from Datong to Taiyuan is 300 km, travel time 4 hours. I was traveling in a hard sleeper carriage. Below is a selection of photos taken from the train window. Most of them are made to the West direction, because almost the entire route the train goes from North to South.
