The Silk Road |
|
The Silk Road is an international road of historical significance. It is the ancient passage -way that has connected the civilizations and thus promoted the multi-interchange between East and West. The ancient road has its start in Chang’an, an ancient capital of China (now Xian), and its terminus on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean through the Gobi deserts, vast grassland, magnificent mountains of Tianshan, Karakurum, Himalayans and others. |
|
Silk Road starts from Xian in central China. It goes to the west and reaches to Dunhuang through the Hexi corridor. From Dunhuang further to west, goes by three different routes known as Southern Silk Road,Central Silk Road and Northern Silk Road. Southern Route rides to southwest through ancient city of Kroran (Loulan), Miran and along the south of the Taklamakan desert, come to Khotan, Yarkand finally to Kashgar. Central Route arrives at the oasis of Kumul, Turpan and crossing the Tianshan Mountain to Kucha, Aksu then to Kashgar. |

starting from Kashgar, Caravans cross over the Tianshan Mountain again at Turgart and Irkeshtam passes on the north west of ancient Kashgaria. This route also takes them to Samarkand and Bukhara through the magnificent mountains, lakes and grassland of Kyrgyzstan then finally come in to most civilized oasis of Central Asia as Ferghana valley, Khojand, Samarkand and Bukhara. A huge number of historical relics here stand still as the witness of the glory of ancient Silk Road. |
