# Zabaykalsky Krai

The Eastern Siberian territory of Zabaykalsky Krai (Russian: Забайкальский край) was formed in 2008 by the merger of Chita Oblast with its smaller neighbor Agin-Buryat Autonomous Okrug. It borders Buryatia to the west, Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest, Yakutia to the north, Amur Oblast to the northeast, Northeast China to the east, and Mongolia to the south.

## Cities

## Understand

Chita Oblast is similar to Buryatia in the great diversity and beauty of its landscapes. It is, however, far less visited than its western neighbor. Chita Oblast derives much of its importance to Russia from its proximity to China. As such, it has served as a point for international trade, migration, and even war. Today Chita Oblast contains a large Russian military presence — for this reason Chita was a "closed city" during the Soviet era.

## Talk

Expect that Russian will come in handy in this remote Siberian region.

## Get in

Chita is the principal arrival point for most visitors, who usually arrive on the Trans-Siberian Railway, although the Baikal-Amur Mainline also cuts through Chita Oblast's more isolated north. Chita is also served by VIM Airlines from Moscow and Bratsk. However, VIM are by far the worst airline in Russia and it is a much better idea to fly Siberian (S7) or Ural Airlines.

## Go next

The next major stops on the Trans-Siberian Railway are Ulan Ude to the west and Skovorodino and Svobodny to the east. On the Baikal-Amur Mainline: Severobaikalsk to the west and Tynda to the east.
# Zabid

Zabid (Arabic: زبيد‎, also transliterated Zebid) is a city in Coastal Plains of Yemen, west of the country, near the Red Sea Coast. It is one of the oldest towns in Yemen, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. However, in 2000, the site was placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger.

## Understand

Once the capital of the country, between 13th and 15th centuries, and a centre of Islamic education, the old town of Zabid has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Zabid was known as a center of the Arab and Muslim world, especially for Islamic education, due in large part to its famed University of Zabid.

## See

Zabid's Great Mosque occupies a prominent place in the town.
The vestiges of its university can also be visited.
# Zabaykalsk

Zabaykalsk (Russian: Забайка́льск zuh-bigh-KAHL'SK; "beyond the Baikal") is a city in Zabaykalsky Krai in Russia.

## Get in
### By train

Zabaykalsk is the final stop on the Russian side of the Russia-China border on the Trans-Manchurian route from Moscow to Beijing. Trains from Russian stations, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude and Chita stop regularly at Zabaykalsk with a weekly service from Chinese stations, Manzhouli, Harbin and Beijing. The service from Irkutsk decouples from a Irkutsk-Kharbarosk at Chita waiting six hours before coupling with the Chita-Zabaykalsk service. It is possible to look around Chita during this break or stay on the carriage in the shunting yards. Toilets are closed for the full 6 hours with the station a 15 min walk away. The route Chita-Zabaykalsk is serviced daily. If you get off in Zabaykalsk, you need to take a bus to cross the border to Manzhouli but you have to buy the train ticket at Manzhouli at the spot (no pre-booking service).
Tickets and timetables are available via the Russian national operator RZD$^{[deadlink]}$.
* 49.639361117.3317781 Zabaykalsk railway station. (updated Apr 2021)

### By bus

The bus station is located 800 m from the train station. After leaving the train, head along the platform in the direction from which the train came. Take the footbridge out of the station then follow the station fence in the direction the train was heading (ie China). Look out for the flashing lights on the giant welcome gate.
Expect no one in Zabaykalsk bus station or officials on either side of this border to speak English.
Several busses run daily between Zabaykalsk and Manzhouli, China. The last bus from Zabaykalsk bus station (located near the train station) leaves 15:10 so it might be a good idea to arrive there earlier as Zabaykalsk is probably not a place where you are interested to stay overnight.
Busses arrive at the city centre of Manzhouli.
Bus tickets for this route are 300 руб plus 100 руб for baggage. An additional fee of 200 руб is paid on the Chinese side of the border.

### By foot or bicycle

Zabaykalsk is 10 km from Manzhouli, and the road is quite calm with nice wide shoulders. However, as of December 2013, crossing the border by foot or bicycle was not allowed by the Chinese border guards: you have to go in a motor vehicle, bus or take the non-daily train across the border.

## Do

Zabaykalsk is almost more a village than a city. The main reason you are here is probably because you are either going to cross a border to China or you've come from China to Russia.
There most likely isn't much to do for a tourist here.

# Velletri

Velletri is a city in the Lazio region of Italy.

## Understand

Velletri is a sizeable town with over 50,000 inhabitants. It is part of the province of Rome and lies just southeast of the Castelli Romani or Alban Hills. In Roman times it was a popular place for the rich of Rome to build their country villas. In the late Middle Ages it was one of the few independent cities in central Italy. During this time it is claimed that Velletri saw the establishment of the world's first pawn shop.
After the Allied landing at Anzio in early 1944 Velletri was a major battleground in May of that year as the Allies pushed north towards Rome. It was much damaged by the war and most of its important monuments were not rebuilt. Thus the city does not, in itself, offer many sightseeing attractions. However, it is an attractive base for exploring the surrounding region and could even be an inexpensive base for visiting Rome if you are not interested in the capital's nightlife.

## Get in

The city is about 75 minutes drive from the center of Rome and around 45 minutes from Ciampino airport. There are good, and much quicker, rail connections from Rome's Termini station. Many people live in Velletri and commute daily to Rome for work.

## See

* 41.68869412.7783331 Torre del Trivio. This brick tower is one of the few surviving monuments of the town. It is now used as the bell tower for the church of Santa Maria del Trivio. (updated Jan 2019)
* 41.6826712.776082 Porta Napoletana (Napoletana Gate). Restored, fortified city gate to the south of Velletri, where the Appian Way left the town. (updated Jan 2019)

## Drink

* Wines from Velletri. Wines produced by the local cooperative are good value. Look out in particular for the Terre dei Volsci Riserva , which is sold in a strange-shaped bottle. This is jokingly known as the Andreotti, after the hunch-backed former prime minister of Italy, Giulio Andreotti.

## Sleep

# Sipalay

Sipalay is a city in Negros Occidental. Population, including rural areas administered as part of the township, is around 70 thousand.

## Understand

Sipalay's beaches, coral reefs, caves and waterfalls are little-known, making it one of the best destinations for a trip off the beaten path. You'd find its white beaches deserted. Locals know about it — it is a popular destination for city dwellers from Dumaguete or Bacolod who want peace and quiet for a change — but tourists generally do not.

## Get in

Sipilay is down on the southern coast of Negros Island, near the border of that island's two provinces. It is usually reached via either of the provincial capitals, Bacolod or Dumaguete, both of which have busy airports and sea ports. It is connected to both via a coastal highway and is roughly equidistant between them. There is also an inland highway to Dumaguete with some pretty mountain terrain and some rather scary driving.
The cheapest way to get there would be on a series of jeepneys, for example one from Dumaguete to Zamboanguita then others onward to Sipalay. This may be appropriate if you are on a tight budget or want some intermediate stops, but most travellers choose buses because they have air conditioning, much better seating, and better facilities for luggage.

### By bus

There are many buses going to and from:
* Bacolod, 168 km away.
* Kabankalan 66 km.
* Bayawan, 76 km.
* Dumaguete, 165 km.

# Sinuiju

Sinuiju (신의주시) is in Pyongan province in North Korea.

## Understand

Sinuiju is the main border city with China on the Yalu river (which marks the border). The large Chinese city of Dandong is literally within walking distance over the bridge. Given that it represents the main trading and transportation hub between the two countries it is relatively easy to observe.

## Get in

40.1069124.40311 Sinuiju Station is an important stop between Pyongyang and Beijing.
Entry is theoretically possible by foot over the 40.1142124.39352 Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge from the Chinese border city of Dandong, although this option is mostly limited to Chinese citizens with appropriate visas.
A small 40.090387124.4076653 Airport exists that sometimes takes flights from Pyongyang. The airport in Dandong over the border will have a more reliable schedule and more accessible connections.
A way "to get into" North Korea without actually passing border controls is to take an excursion boat from the Chinese city of Dandong. These boats are apparently allowed within a few metres of the coastline as long as nobody actually gets off.
