County belonged to Yanan Prefecture Its name and administrative area stayed largely the same This situation continued into the period of the Republic of ChinaRevolutionary History of Zichang CityThe most important turning point in the history of Zichang came during the red revolutionary period In the 1930s Zichang became a key base for the Chinese revolution In August 1934 the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia Border Region established by the Communist Party set up its first county level revolutionary government here It was called the Anding County Revolutionary Committee It was later renamed the Chiyuan County Soviet Government This was the first county level Soviet government in northern ShaanxiIn November 1935 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China moved into Wayaobu This area is now the seat of the Zichang city government This made Zichang the Red Capital of the Chinese revolution at that time It was here that the Communist Party Central Committee held the famous

the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japan and for victory on the China front of WWIIWhat Does Zichang MeanFrom the earlier sections it is clear that Zichang was called Anding during the period when it served as a Communist red base The change of name is linked to a revolutionary martyr and general who was born hereIn 1942 the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia Border Region government decided to

wounded after being shot His condition worsened and he died from his injuries in 1935 at the age of only 38 To honour his achievements the Communist Party decided to rename Anding County as Zichang

Uzbek Trains the Best Network in the World
Oct 7th, 2024
George Morris
For someone who comes from the country that supposedly invented rail transportation its depressing how bad the UKs train network actually isBy now I have lost track of the number of friends who have arrived for their first trip with high expectations of a sophisticated and efficient society only to have this shattered as soon as they hop onto a British train Often they look at me with a face that looks somewhere between having just sucked a lemon and seeing a nun getting punched in the facenbspThe nations inability to run an efficient and affordable service anywhere outside of Central London is nothing short of embarrassingnbspSo when I moved to Central Asia last year I was extremely surprised to see that Uzbek trains are part of one of the most thorough and efficient networks in the world This is even more surprising when considering that barely five years ago Uzbekistan was one of the most isolated and economically dysfunctional countries on earthnbspKungirot to Andijan the furthest it is possible to travel by Uzbek trainIn the last 18 months Ive made 8 trips to every corner of the country On each occasion the train network played a major part in my trip and in a very positive waynbspHere is your comprehensive guide to the Uzbek train network its strengths and flaws and how to best utilize it on your next Uzbekistan adventureA brief history of Uzbek trainsWhats this talk of a highspeed networkHow luxurious is itHow can I purchase a ticketIs it expensiveHow far ahead should I bookWhat about international trainsSo how do I make this adventure happenA brief history of Uzbek trainsTrains first came to what is now Uzbekistan during the late 19th century when the Russian Empire expanded into Central Asia The first major railway was built in the 1880s which connected Tashkent with other major citiesnbspSoviet rule caused a significant expansion of the railway system As in many socialist countries it became a key component of the nations public transit system Following independence in 1991 Uzbekistan continued developing its rail system This was even as the countrys economy fossilized between 1991 and 2016 under the premiership of Islam KarimovnbspOne of the few modern and most impressive projects of the Karimov era was the construction of a highspeed train line In 2011 the Afrosiyob service commenced Using Spanishbuilt highspeed trains Tashkent was connected to the ancient Silk Road city of Samarkand The track was extended in 2016 to serve Bukhara the other jewel of the countrys tourist circuitLike one of us you too can glamorously arrive at your destination Today the Uzbek train network is a mix of highspeed lines and reliable Soviet sleeper trains There is almost nowhere in the country that cannot be reached by train in less than 24 hours Furthermore other overland options are rarely as quick as taking the train and the cost of flying often makes than uncompetitivenbspUzbekistan also benefits from a high population density and flat topography which makes train travel much easier and quicker compared to its neighboursnbspWhats this talk of a highspeed networkAs mentioned there is an excellent highspeed network that connects Tashkent to the ancient Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara One can now travel from the capital to Bukhara over 600 kilometres in under four hoursnbspThankfully for tourists this network connects the golden triangle where most visitors stay which is a shame However an extension to the desert settlement of Khiva my favourite place in Uzbekistan is set to open by next year This will slash travel times from Tashkent down to seven hours instead of the current fourteennbspBeing in the desert Khivas station is especially glorious at sunriseThe highspeed network is known as the Afrosiyob This name originates from the ancient site north of Samarkand an area now considered the cradle of ancient Sogdian civilizationnbspHow luxurious is itLike many questions it depends on what your own definition of luxury is Both the Afrosiyob Sharq and Sleeper trains have three different categories for travelnbspOn the Afrosiyob these are known as VIP Business and Economy while Sharq offers a day sleeping option alongside First and Second class The Sleeper trains offer 2 and 4bed softsleeper compartments as well as open 6bed hard sleeper carriagesnbspTo avoid confusion it is very common to take the sleeper train for journeys that do not involve overnight travel For example the train from Nukus to Tashkent does indeed involve an overnight section but boarding the train in Bukhara means you will only travel during the day In this case you can either nap on your bed or convert it into a desk and seatnbspnbspThe Afrosiyob service is akin to anything similar in Western Europe except for the price while the Sharq is perhaps a touch below this Both contain dining carts power sockets and air conditioning as standardnbspAnd while the Sleeper service may be Soviet the trains have had a bit of an upgrade since the Berlin Wall fellYes the sixberth carriages are hardly luxurious but the bedding has always been spotless and there isnt a drinking culture on them that often disrupts your sleep in other countries The toilets are clean and while there are no showers there is hardly a need given the size of the countrynbspDining carts are hitandmiss although there are frequent stops to purchase snacks and meals Please note however that only the 2 and 4bed carriages include airconditioning which I learnt at my peril while travelling on Uzbek trains during the summerBooking ahead means getting the comfortable bottom bunkPersonally however the biggest luxury of the sleeper trains is the people you will meetnbspUzbeks are ridiculously friendly and you would have to trynbspreallynbsphard to avoid engaging in conversation with anyone While being a Russian speaker makes things easier theres nothing that Google Translate and Babushkas offering you copious amounts of snacks cant fix After an overnight train from Tashkent to Nukus I had several invites to peoples houses and even one to a weddingnbspHow can I purchase a ticketThankfully Uzbekistan has come a long way from just a few years ago when purchasing any ticket involved a trip to the station and handing over a carrier bag with Uzbek Sum billsnbspYou can still purchase tickets at the station but the online booking system fromnbspUzbekistan Railwaysnbspis highly recommended There is an English option and a decent app although sometimes city names switch into Cyrillic for no reason The ticket will then be saved as either a PDF ticket with a barcode which you can choose to print or else as a QR code in the appnbspThe Afrosiyob in all her majestyYou pay online using foreign credit cards with the price being charged in your own currency They even accept American ExpressnbspIs it expensiveThe Uzbek train network is ridiculously good value for money especially for foreign visitorsnbspTickets do not change in price depending on when or how far in advance you buy them A oneway economy ticket on the Afrosiyob costs 403000 sum from Tashkent to Bukhara around 32 as of October 2024nbspFor a sleeper ticket from Andijan to Nukus it is 290000 sum in a sixberth cabin That is less than 23 to travel the length of the country and not have to pay for a bed for the nightThe price also includes as much luggage as you can carry Theres no limit on the number of cases that you can be put on the train unlike in countries such as JapanHow far ahead should I bookIn short as far ahead as you cannbspBookings open 2 months ahead of travel However especially for Afrosiyob trains you will notice that trains book up almost immediately This is due to large tour companies booking seats en masse as soon as they become available which is controversial in UzbekistannbspGenerally you should book at least 1 month ahead for the Afrosiyob 2 weeks ahead for the Sharq and 1 week ahead for the Sleeper train However always bear in mind that Spring and Autumn are the peak seasons in Uzbekistan When booking Uzbek trains you should also consider major holidays such as Navruz and EidnbspThe consequences of NOT booking ahead sleeping on a glorified shelf Uzbekistan Railways also allows feefree cancellation until an hour before departure This is surprisingly both a good and a bad thing While it allows you maximum flexibility it also has the unintended consequence of people booking multiple tickets only to cancel most of them at the last minuteAs such if your travel plans are flexible you may get lucky by refreshing the app or website in the hours before a train as I have done anxiously several timesnbspWhat about international trainsUzbekistan does have some international train routes that connect the country with its neighbours although they are somewhat limitednbspNotable connections connect Tashkent to Almaty and Astana in Kazakhstan both taking around 18 hours You can connect to Bishkek by taking the train to Almaty but changing at Shymkent although the 12hour bus journey takes about half as longnbspThese trains run generally every other day and are always Sleeper servicesnbspLongdistance services also connect Tashkent to Moscow and Volgograd although these mainly cater to Uzbekistans many economic migrants going to Russia A onceweekly train from Dushanbe to Tashkent may also be of interest this takes 18 hours via SamarkandSo how do I make this adventure happenBeing the experts in both Central Asia and train travel of all kinds YPT is in a great position to make your Uzbekistan adventure possible We visit this amazing country on several of our group tours throughout the year However if you have a particular interest in train travel want a more bespoke experiance or just want to take full advantage of the Uzbek train network then we can craft a personalized itinerary for you We look forward to seeing you on the line
