what is the admission fee for the silk road
Aug. 22,2009 20:31 Mr.Robert replied:
Hello, you'd better notice that the silk road is not a road but a succession of many cities in western China. So there is no admission fee.

I want to clarify all misconceptions, if any. The Silk Road is not a road literally. In ancient times, it's just a route. No paved roads, no clear route marks, etc...pure general directions along the way from city to city...

when, (as in what year) did the silk road begin to be made, and when (as in years) did they finish it? and were there highway men and robbers, or was it safe?
Apr. 13,2009 22:24 Mr.kind-hearted replied:
It is hard to find an accurate year to define the begginning time of the silk road. But I can tell you that the silk road was started from the 2BC century to the 15th century. It is now a rather safe road except for the bad weather. Don't worry too much about robbers, it is not a common thing these days, but, still, I don't suggest you walk alone along the ancient silk road. It can be dangerous!

Was the silk road dangerous? for example, if you were carrying gold and precious stones, would there be robbers and so on? or was it constantly buzzing with activity?
Because if you are walking to another post, and you were alone, could there be chances to get robbed? please answer.
Apr. 13,2009 21:57 Ms.Wong replied:
Hi, Mr.Orpheus, well, it was a common thing in the past when someone walked alone in the silk road and get robbed, but these days, it is a rare case. But if you love adventure, silk road is a good choice. The many and varied landscape along the silk road can be a real challenge to both of your audacity and skill.
