Silk Road
The Silk Road is the legendary overland trade route between China
and the Mediterranean. From its beginning in the magnificent ancient
city of Chang'an (now Xian), the Road took traders westward into
Gansu Province through Lanzhou, Tianshui, Zhangye, Jiuquan along
the Hexi Corridor with its mountains and deserts where it reached
Jiayuguan - the giant barrier of the Great Wall. Here at Dunhuang,
the first key point along the route, it divided into separate ways
through Xinjiang region via Turpan, Urumqi, Korla until reaching
Kashgar, the final point in China. Trips along the Road are a feast
to the eyes and it abounds with fascinating historical records and
priceless relics.
