In February this year the first direct cargo train travelled from China to Iran - a 10,399km journey taking a mere 14 days, a revival of the ancient silk trade route. This grand trans-Asian enterprise prompted our journalists to share stories of their most memorable train journeys across the region - from Mongolia to Moscow, calling at Taiwan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. With Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Uzbek's Hamid Ismailov, Giang Nguyen from our Vietnamese language service, Martin Yip of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Chinese, and James Cowling from Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Africa. Credit: Getty
