On the vast Silk Road, desolate ancient cities are overgrown with vegetation, and ancient civilizations fade into oblivion. The thousand-li journey across boundless landscapes feels otherworldly. Travel contemporary China through the rainbow spanning across heaven and earth! The vast land, with its majestic mountains and rivers, is a country that everyone wants to visit. Stretching over 7,000 kilometers, the Silk Road spans the entire Xinjiang region and all of Gansu Province. Not only is the journey long, but the local customs and cultures along the way are also different from those in the Central Plains. Therefore, a comprehensive Silk Road travel guide is particularly important. This book aims to provide readers with a holistic understanding of the Silk Road by following the ancient routes and planning six new Silk Road travel routes: the Hexi Corridor Route, the Southern Shaanxi Silk Road Route, the Northern Route Silk Road, the New Northern Route Silk Road, the Central Route Silk Road, and the Southern Route Silk Road. Each chapter not only describes and introduces the scenic spots along the route but also contrasts the ancient and modern routes, providing detailed planned itineraries. This allows readers to appreciate the beauty of the Silk Road while gaining a general understanding of ancient civilization history.
