Beijing to Saint Petersburg by train 

Love the attention to detail, such as dubbing in ambient sounds based on the content of the photo. Really makes them feel alive!

By clever use of zooming and panning it felt like watching a video instead of slide show.

Thanks again Mr. Fleming. Your camera takes me on trips I may never be able to make in person. Much gratitude.

8:09 That's my hometown !!!! Everything is updated now, but the classic railway equipment and stations still come back in my dream. The stream powered train kept in service till early 90's when I was 3. Great video! thanks !

Beautiful trip and a great narration and great photographs. Thank you.

Marvellous narration. Clever use of still footage. Great work.

Fabulous! Nicely narrated with excellent photography.

Perfect narration, with stills, it still did not fall short of any good videos.

Thank you Mr Fleming. I have enjoyed all of your videos. Excellent work. I feel as though I’ve actually visited the various locations. The quality of your videos and informative narration are wonderful. It’s easy to see the pride you have in your work. It shows Also in your fine quality yachts. Thank you.

I very much appreciate the content. It is a historic documentation of the areas visited. Fast forward to 2022 and I see the changes in the ownership of land and am amazed at how things have changed in 31 years. Thank you.

Magnificent channel. Think I'm gonna binge watch it whole :) Very inspiring journeys and narration. Also the photographs... thank you for enriching us a little with your voyages.

Your videos give a wonderful insight into this planet.

Another masterpiece of travel documentary.

Besides of the historical relevant pictures, it is a true pleasure listening to your beautiful English. Thank you!

Rather impressive.Thanks for sharing,shared.

Something you and your daughter will never forget!

Incredible photography and wonderfully produced. Thank you

Another excellent and fascinating video from you. Many thanks for sharing.

Great video. Great narration. Did not know the difference in rail width. Thanks

Marvellous narration and photography.

Well done, thank you.

Thank you Fleming Yachts for sharing your wonderful videos.

Great video! Thank you. Lovely nostalgia for the USSR :) Now St. Petersburg looks much better ))

very nice. Thank you

Marvelous

Very interesting documentary 🌹

Thank You for uploading this beautiful video, looking back during those days of Bejing at 1991, it is still very green for china though things start to change

Mr Fleming, greating from NH. According to one of old old religion, from the beginning of mankind's to the end. there will be 132 thousand chosen people. Sir,most definitely you are one of them. God bless you.

thank you.

Thank you

It's a great journey from your home to Beijing and Saint Petersburg. Just I'm curious about your friends Collyn and Rex who went with together to Africa continent on military truck in 1959...

Very nice pictures! They give me the feeling they are taken just recently. Old Beijing always stays the same. The Great Wall to the north is from the Ming dynasty. The part you visited, badaling, is built in the sixties. ;)

Mike comment below is "spot on". Thanks again

Ken Burns-like videography.

I wish I had a dad like you:/ What a masterpiece

Insanely great, all those pictures from 1991.

wonder how are the photos kept with vivid color given they were shot at 30 yrs ago!

Your daughter is lovely.

This documentary is an absolutely stunning time-capsule. The year the Soviet Union collapsed.

How did you create the map animation used in this video?

When was this? Seems by people clothing this was in 80’s

What/Who is Fleming Yachts?

We will catch up with you on Vimeo. The rail system has rapidly changed since 1991.

Who is the old man and young woman that are featured in many of the photos? They seem to be everywhere you go!

Thank you for the time travel with poetic narration back to almost 30 years ago. More interestingly right before the official end of the soviet union. What’s your daughter Nikki been up to? I wonder if she still thinks about the trip from time to time. Again thanks for sharing it.

The route on the map is a little wrong. The city where you crossed the China Soivet Union border was Manzhouli where is a little bit west than the spot you marked.

Great trip, thank you for sharing. I am not to fond of traveling on Chinese trains (or any other transport) the tobacco smoke it's unbearable and there's no force on earth that would make them follow the rules and obey the posted signs "No Smoking" everywhere.

Tartaria!

Russian train had the route written on it in Russian - "Moskva - Pekin" = Moscow - Bejing

Are these your own photos/trips or you just narrating them?

Way bomp hero shimma

Nice documentary, well done as usual. One small criticism would be that I would rather see shots of the landscape without people posing in front of the landmarks or scenery. Maybe one or two would be ok . No disrespect intended but it gets a bit redundant seeing the same people posing. In contrast, allowing the picture to "speak for itself" , without a smiling tourist, in my opinion makes for a greater documentary. In short, the poser takes away from the narration and photography. Capturing the local people engaging in normal activity, however, is splendid. Just my two cents for you to keep in mind on your next still shot documentary.

I don't know anything about China, I was born & raised in the USA🇺🇸 I Never Left🇺🇸

i find it hard to believe all of that existed on the same land mass. Plus, will Russia have to sell Britain Lake Baikal water, when it finally destroys or exhausts its own water supplies due to immigration? You see the whole world wants to move to the tiny island in the North Sea, and it has already begun to.

At 19:46 ...the mortal remains of Lenin the long-dead tyrant, I am sure you meant Stalin, didn't you.

You ignored the slaughter of students and other activists in Tiananmen Square, by the Chinese police and military, in 1989. Why ??en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989

I enjoy your video's but don't care for the pictures. I understand that many do, but nobody around here does. Have a great day.

YOU RECORD TO LOUD ...

You failed to mention that Tiananmen Square was the site of the massacre of many 100's of Chinese youth in 1989, by Chinese military troops. Shame on You !!! [Aussie in BC]

the really LOW POINT, DESCRIBING LENIN AS TYRANT' complete failure of narrator
