How to buy
K19/K20 is not sold on 12306. Tickets are issued in person at CITS international ticket counters; nothing can be booked while the train is suspended.
We do not sell this ticket. Our team can queue at the counter or brief you on the visa and border steps — the ticket itself is issued by the railway or by CITS.
Visa & boarding
A Russian visa is the only visa this route needs.
- Russian visa — the whole journey stays on the Trans-Manchurian line and does not enter Mongolia
- The border crossing is Manzhouli → Zabaikalsk
At the border
- Border crossing at Manzhouli, then a gauge change at Zabaikalsk on the Russian side
- No Mongolian transit visa is needed on this route, unlike K3/K4
- Suspension means no tickets are on sale — check back for a restart announcement before planning
