Hi Cho, When we crossed the border back in there was a 1 hour time difference.
Thanks for pointing that out. We will change it on the post. Happy travels. Thanks for this, it was super useful! One question: Does the train to Ulaanbator on the Trans Mongolian run daily or it just every Thursday? Glad you found the article useful.
Best to check the offical website. Hello, great article thanks for the info. Just a question, I have got my visa for mongolia and China, will they still want proof of departure in each country before they let me in? All I have a plane booked from Moscow to home in london. Hi, hope you having a great trip. When we got our visa for China they asked for departure documents. We paid a small fee to a travel agent and they gave us fake flights.
As for Mongolia, we never got asked. This was back in so things may have changed. All the best. Thanks for the awesome write up. I can get the train tickets, but they are about dollars.
How long did this trip take in total?
Hi Burlesque, thanks for your message. We only took the train on the Mongolia side, not on the Chinese side. Very slow. Not too sure about getting the train all the way through to Beijing. Sorry wish we could help you more. Small fee.
If you are coming in from Vietnam, I am sure they can do the same on that end too. Good luck. We wondered how we can do without booking the bus tickets in advance from Beijing to Erlian.
Should we ask for our Visa without having a return ticket?
I heard that it can cause problems at the airport when entering China without having a return ticket. Hi Vako, Thank you for your comment.
We are glad this post helped. With the Chinese visa, they are strict and need an exit ticket. We got a fake interinery from a travel agency in UB. He gets a cut for directing you. But, I have to say, your picture of the sleeper bus makes it look more comfortable than the sleeper train we took from Shanghai to Hong Kong.
Lesh is like you — she can hardly sleep at all on these buses but trains she can handle. I on the other hand can pass out just about anywhere, at any time. Great information guys, super useful! Nice to see how doing it without taking the Trans-Mongolian is done. Next time we would love to do the Trans-Mongolian. We read your post about it. Sounded incredible! Good to know guys.
We took the Trans-Mongolian in pre-arranged along with our visas in Hong Kong but would love to go back and this sounds like a cheaper option?
