South Silk Road

The Silk Roads were ancient roads that spanned much of Eurasia, where traders and diplomats would visit countries across the roads for thousands of miles, trading and making international bonds. Many of these roads can still be walked or driven today, and one of them takes you all the way across China, from Kashgar in Xinjiang Province in the northwest, all the way across China to Beijing in the northeast. It’s an incredible journey that can be done by train, car, bus, or even on foot, and many daring travellers have taken it in. If you want to see just how varied Chinese landscape and culture is, this is the journey for you.
