September 30 - October 21, 2008
22 Days • $4990 from San Francisco via Air China
 
| Caravan bells jangled for over a thousand years. From Chang’an, China’s ancient capital of eleven dynasties, the mystical Silk Road stretched to the shores of the Mediterranean. Along the fabled trade route, silk, spices, tea, precious metals, ivory and textiles made the journey in about a year and a half. But more, the Silk Road was an exchange of culture between the Oriental and Occidental civilizations, carrying major religions, literature, art and technological advances. Colorful characters such as Italy’s Marco Polo and China’s Xuanzhuang Monk left romantic tales to add luster to its history. Today the Silk Road is being revitalized and is increasingly becoming once again a channel of friendly economic and cultural exchange between China and the rest of the world. Our 22-day tour spans the portion of the northern route from Kashgar to Chang’an, today’s Xi’an. |
