Silk Road Tours

Silk Road is the caravan road that connected East Asia with the Mediterranean in antiquity and the Middle Ages. It was primarily used to export silk from China, which is the reason of its name. The path was paved in the 2nd century BC, led from Xian through Lanzhou to Dunhuang, where it bifurcated: the northern road passed through Turfan, then crossed the Pamir and went to Fergana and the Kazakh steppes, the southern one - past Lake Lob-Nor along the southern edge of the Takla-Makan desert through Yarkand and Pamir (in the southern part) led to Bactria, and from there to Parthia, India and the Middle East up to the Mediterranean Sea. The term was introduced by the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen in 1877. Nowadays Silk Road is a great chance to make a unique travelling and exploring different cultures.
