The Silk Road is a collection of several ancient trade routes that linked Roman Empire in the west with the imperial court of China in the East. Before the discovery of the sea route to India, the Silk Road was the most important connection between the Orient and the West which still remains its charm to people. The routes played a vital role in the development of the great civilizations of China and other nearby countries, and helped shape the foundations for the modern world.

Walking through Xinjiang, brave ancient merchants and traveler could go eastward continuously until they arrive at Rome. For hundreds of years the dusty caravan roads were traveled by merchants: silk was carried westward, while wool, gold, silver exotic birds and animals were carried eastward.
With the fall of Rome, the route became unsafe. The Silk Road experienced its last great era during the period of Mongols (Yuan dynasty of China), when the entire route from China to the Mediterranean was part of one empire. At that time, Nicolo and Marco Polo traveled from Kashgar to the Far East along the southern route. The overland link quickly lost its importance as trade across the seas developed.

Great Wall, a symbol of Chinese civilization and the crystallization of wisdom of Chinese, is the longest defensive wall in the world. The magnificent Great Wall stretches approximately 6700 km and spans nine provinces of China, just like a gigantic dragon lying in northern China. As one of the world’s eight grand world wonders, Great Wall, with a history of more than 2000 years, has witnessed the up and down of the earth, yet still remaining in the world. Nowadays, Great Wall has fulfiled its historical mission and become the most popular travel destination in the world.As a Chinese saying goes, ‘He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man.’ Any trip to China would be incomplete if the Great Wall tour is not on the itinerary.
