Resumo da viagem
In past centuries, the vital Silk Road used to be the link between the East and the West. Merchant caravans carrying silk, gold, ivory, exotic animals, plants and other precious commodities used to travel from Europe via Central Asia to the heart of the Empire. The Silk Road was not only about trading goods, but also about exchanging ideas and religious beliefs. This trip will allow you to traverse the footsteps of the original route of one of the most famous travellers ever, Marco Polo.
Itinerário dia a dia
Welcome to China! Upon arrival into Kashgar, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Kashgar is an important trading town in the far west of China, close to the borders with Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan. It has been the epicentre of regional trade and cultural exchange for more than two millennia. The remoteness has helped to preserve the unique character of the city.
Explore the streets of the old city centre, which is unfortunately becoming smaller with the development of new housing. This small section of the ‘real’ Old Town is unlikely to survive for much longer. Despite these changes, the spirit of Kashgar lives on. Uighur craftsmen and artisans still hammer and chisel away as they have done for centuries, traders haggle over deals in the boisterous bazaars and donkey carts still trundle their way through the narrow alleyways. Enjoy dinner tonight at a local restaurant. (D)
