Tour Introduction: Retrace the footsteps of the countless caravans of merchants that discovered the riches of ancient
China and transported them through the Middle East and into the West. Movement along the Silk
Road is believed to date back to pre-first century B.C., reaching its peak during the days of Marco
Polo in the 13th century. Home of the Uygur minority, Xinjiang has a culture, language and appearance
markedly different from the rest of China. Since we also visit Beijing, Xian and Shanghai you will feel as
if you not only visited China, but also stepped into the Middle East.
