Features: Many people will cherish a moment when they first step onto a train, the first time they press their faces against the train window, watching the retreating scenery in the distance, and the first time they pass through the desolate wilderness in the dark, and the dimly lit small towns outside the fields. Trains are being forgotten by us. At the moment when its tail gradually disappears into the distance. What trains leave us with are only the weathered tracks and the yellowed memories. That is the sorrow of trains, which nothing can replace. The book "Finding the World Again" is the same as the other books in the "Great Journey" series, a byproduct of the television production by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). This time, it invited six celebrities to take trains on six challenging and distinctive journeys, documenting them in writing. The choices of these routes, as Mark Twain said, are places where train travel is still important, such as Pakistan, South America, or from Hong Kong, China to Mongolia; these routes often have a history, such as the Pakistan Railways having the history of the British colonial era, and Santos in Brazil having the history of coffee cultivation since the 19th century. From Hong Kong, China to Ulan Bator, you will experience different landscapes, cultures, and local customs.
