Silk Road Tour: Retrace the footsteps of the famous caravans and merchants who discovered the riches of ancient China and explore "the bridge" between the East and the West. Movement along the Silk Road dates 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 is highlighted by a culture completely different than China's. The travelers will also tour Beijing, Xian and Shanghai, making them feel as if they not only visited China, but also stepped into the Middle East.
