A vast network of interconnected caravan routes that stretched for over 5,000 miles, the Silk Road enabled the exchange of products and ideas between China and Europe, Persia, Egypt, India and Mesopotamia, engendering civilization as we know it. The Silk Road is thus the very backbone of history. Travel to Western China with us, in the footsteps of ancient merchants and great explorers, along the greatest thoroughfare ever known.
