Hi,
I spoke in January of a Wikitrain from Europe to Hong Kong [1,2]. Now it’s time to precisely plan the travel and request visas.
I am no more sure I will be able to travel given external constraints and will know it in some weeks (depending of the date of my PdD defense). But if other people are interested to travel, you can begin planning the travel and I will try to join if I can.
Shujen Chang and Park1996 prepared a nice table with train options and they can provide assistance for the Wikitrain passengers (Wikitrainers?) in China. At the very least, the travel from Europe lengths 12-13 days (1 day to Berlin, 4 days to Moscow, 6 days to Beijing, 1 day to HK).

Sounds good, but without at least half day stops in certain places, it will be 2 weeks in a 2x2 room with three others...

yeah, it's extremely long. I'd rather spend those two weeks in HK and hop over to Macau. :P

Actually I dun recommend you doing the train as well as a. it is really long, situation in China, and Russia can be very unpredictable b. for visas, I think it could be pretty hard to get the Belarus, Russia and the China ones

I looked into driving back on January, it is possible, and it could be made into an event, but it is late to organise now. The idea would be to take a minibus, or a couple or three cars, stop and meet local Wikimedians every day, collect photos for Commons, use mobile technology to blog and edit on the way.
The train does sound like an adventure, but very limited freedom for diverting a couple of miles for an event or landmark.
