    Ancient Silk Road – 10 Days Classic Silk Road Tour from Xian (Xian | Urumqi | Kashgar | Turpan | Dunhuang)

    The name of the ancient Silk Road stirs up the visions of camel-led caravans, ambitious merchandises, courageous diplomats, preaching pilgrims, etc. Starting from the Western Han Dynasty (202BC ~ 8AD) and flourishing in the Tang Dynasty (618AD ~ 902AD), it is a time-honored route to follow the ancient travelers’ steps and explore the outer fringes of the imagination. Many UNESCO-recognized World Heritage sites scattered along the route really give travelers a visual feast of China’s past glories. The landscapes varying from barren deserts, alpine lakes, snow peaks, and colorful canyons are also a big draw.

    This is the most classic China Silk Road tour covering all the cultural essences. You will start your Silk Road exploration from Xian, which was called Chang’an, an ancient capital city of China as well as the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, then take a flight to Dunhuang, the most legendary part of Silk Road where you can see amazing mural arts, impressive Buddhist statues, well-decorated caves and unique frontier landscape. Lastly, take a high speed train from Dunhuang to Xinjiang where you will enjoy the exotic custom and beautiful scenery in the Golden Triangle Cities -Urumqi, Kashgar and Turpan.
