15 Days China Mysterious Silk Road Tour

Pearl Cities along the Silk Road

  The cities and beautiful landscapes of China’s western expanse are often forgotten by many travelers. Our China Silk Road tour gives travelers like you the chance to see China in an off-the-beaten-path way. On this Silk Road tour, our first stop is in Xi’an, the gateway to the West and the starting point of the Silk Road, and home to the Terra-cotta Warriors. From there we head to Lanzhou, the ancient city of Wuwei, and Jiayuguan. Upon reaching the Silk Road’s Dunhuang, we’ll stay for two days to explore its Buddhist caves and tour the desert by Camel. We’ll then head over to the cities of Turpan and Urumqi until we fly over the Taklamakan desert to Kashgar. This is where the largest bazaar of Central Asia is held every Sunday. We’ll also get to visit Lake Karakuri at the base of Mt. Muztagh (7,545m). Whether you’re looking to uncover the trading routes of the Silk Road, ride camels through the desert, or explore the less tourist-filled areas of China, this is one of the best China cultural tours we offer for anyone looking for adventure and a truly unique experience.
