Ancient Silk Road, where the cultures of East and West meet, will take you to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, a local family visit in Turpan, the famous Sunday Bazaar in Kashgar and more…

601 : Classical Silk Road Tour

Beijing - Urumqi - Kashgar - Urumqi - Turpan - Dunhuang - Xian - Shanghai

In antiquity, the Silk Road served as a bridge between East and West. However, as time has passed it is now nothing but a name to many people. This adventure makes a perfect combination of modern culture and ancient civilization and allows you to have a peak at this piece of history.

602 : Pearl Cities along Silk Road

Shanghai - Xian - Lanzhou - Xiahe - Lanzhou - Dunhuang - Turpan - Urumqi - Beijing

A comparatively complete and real Silk Road tour, driving for most part of the trip. This may be deemed as "hard" compared with flying, but think about the forefathers of the East-West communications. As a matter of fact, the Silk Road was literally made by footsteps.

603 : Silk Road In-depth

Beijing - Urumqi - Korla - Kuqa - Aksu - Kashgar - Hetian - Minfeng - Korla - Turpan - Dunhuang - Xian - Shanghai

Traveling on the route where the Silk Road once flourished, you may wonder why it was chosen then and later abandoned. Was there really something like Fengshui at work? The remains of the old cities are the only way their past is recorded.

604 : Travel through the Legendary Silk Road and Mysterious Tibet

Beijing - Urumqi - Turpan - Dunhuang - Xian - Lhasa - Gyangtse - Shigatse - Lhasa - Shanghai

Tibetan and Uigur are two major ethnic groups in China. This adventure takes you to both their autonomous regions to get a glimpse of their lives, culture and customs. This is a great chance to get to know, observe and compare the most representative nations of the country.

605 : Silk Road Safari

Beijing - Xining - Lanzhou - Xiahe - Lanzhou - Wuwei - Zhangye - Jiayuguan - Dunhuang - Turpan - Urumqi - Shanghai

The Great Wall in Beijing, the Terracotta Warriors in Xian, the Sangke Grassland in Xiahe, the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, the Jiaohe Ruins in Turpan and the Bund in Shanghai: all these scenic spots are like precious pearls strewn across the landscape. Now we string them together and present them to you.

606 : Adventurous Silk Road along with Splendid Yangtze Cruise

Beijing - Urumqi - Kashgar - Urumqi - Turpan - Dunhuang - Xian - Chongqing - Yangtze River Cruise - Yichang - Shanghai

The history generously left us not only the memories but also so many things to see, feel and touch. The route from the country’s capital to the inland basin area, and then to the coastal metropolis shows you a big part of the travel essential highlights of this great country.

607 : Xinjiang Scenery with Ethnic Flavor Appreciation

Urumqi - Turpan - Kanas Lake - Altai - Yining - Huocheng - Bayinbuluke - Yining - Urumqi

This is a real adventure deep into the Xinjiang hinterland. Driving the most part of it surely is a hard way to go, but as the Silk Road was literally walked by our forefathers and most of the areas we pass are still backward and undeveloped, the tough conditions are not too much to complain about.

608 : Xinjiang Natural Beauty and Historic Heritages

Urumqi - Sayram Lake - Yining - Nalati Grassland - Bayinbuluke - Kuqa - Korla - Turpan - Urumqi

Urumqi is the capital city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Radiating from it, we take you to Nalati Grassland, one of the four largest grasslands of the world; Bayinbuluke, the most fecund pasture in south Tianshan Mountains; and Kuqa, the county of grotto paintings and Guizi civilization.

609 : Outbound Silk Road Exploration

Dunhuang - Turpan - Urumqi - Kashgar - Tash Rabat - Naryn - Bishkek

A 13-day journey on the Silk Road which heads all the way to Kirgizstan, a friendly neighbor from the very beginning. The business along this ancient commercial path is still going on. From the desert oasis to the Tianshan Mountains, busy markets can be seen everywhere.

610 : Ancient Silk Road to Pakistan

Dunhuang - Turpan - Urumqi - Korla - Kuqa - Aksu - Kashgar - Tashkurgan - Khunjerab Pass - Hunza - Gilgit - Chilas - Swat - Peshawar - Knyber - Islamabad - Lahore

Although once in history Silk Road was the main trade route which connected China with the west, with the rapid progress of the shipping trade, the ancient Silk Road was gradually forgotten and deserted. But did it really fade away? What is the role it plays in Uigur and Pakistani life? Let's see what we can find out.

Mr.Pol(Bangladesh) said:

What is the best possible way to travel from Kunming to Bejing other than flight. Train will be 38 hours, is train clean a bit? How is the bus journey? What is the train and bus fare?

Mar. 14,2010 19:54
Mr.Bornet replied:

Yes, the train is clean, especially the compartment of sleepers. The train ticket is about 85 us dollars for a hard sleeper berth while 131 us dollars for a soft sleeper berth. BTW, there is no direct bus from Kunming to Beijing, and you need make a connection in Wuhan. It is very time consuming, so bus is not really recommended.
