If you’re someone who swoons at the thought of taking a long train ride around the world and possibly solving a murder mystery in the process, or at the very least you hate flying, here’s a bit of news for you.
According to Xinhua, a number of organisations and state institutions inked a deal in Belgium on Thursday to link Shanghai and Antwerp (Belgium) by passenger rail. The rail will have ten stops between the terminal cities, with Beijing, Ulaanbaatar, Moscow and Brussels being named so far. They’re calling it ‘Diamond Silk Road’.
