China is home to some of the most breathtaking railway journeys on Earth 🚆✨
From the roof of the world on the Qinghai–Tibet Railway, where tracks cross vast high-altitude plains and snow-capped mountains, to the charming Jiayang Steam Railway in rural Sichuan, where vintage locomotives wind through bamboo forests and rice terraces.
Travel south and you’ll find railways threading through the dramatic mountains of Yunnan, while routes near Guilin glide past iconic karst limestone peaks straight out of a painting. Elsewhere, lines following the mighty Yangtze River offer sweeping river views, deep gorges, and constantly changing scenery.
These railways aren’t just a way to travel — they’re journeys through landscapes, cultures, and history, best enjoyed slowly, watching China unfold beyond the window.
