The world`s longest rail journey was completed
this week.
A Chinese cargo train finished its first trip from the town of Yiwu in China to Madrid.
That means it passed through no fewer than eight countries -- China, Kazakhstan,
Russia,
Belarus, Poland,
Germany, France and Spain, according to Chinese state media .
The journey was more than 8,000 miles each way and each leg took roughly three weeks.
To put that in perspective , the round trip distance is equivalent to traveling between
Los Angeles and New York approximately six and a half times, or from LA to Sydney and back again.

The direct link to the West has been called the 21st Century Silk Road by
Chinese officials .
It isn`t just this isolated route. Last year, Xi Jinping announced
a $40 billion Silk Road fund to boost infrastructure that could link markets across Asia and beyond .
It`s officially
the year of the sheep, (2015羊年) or by some translations, the ram or the goat.
But perhaps the
silk worm would be more appropriate .
