The first international trade route, the Silk Road manages to embody the best of the ancient world for over two millenniums. No other places on Earth can claim as much history — archaeological excavations and empires compete to outnumber stars in the desert sky. In this century, the China Silk Road initiative and the UNESCO Silk Roads Programme prompt worldwide the Silk Route again.

A myriad of trade routes that connected Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe, the Silk Road shares so much in history — goods, cultures, arts, religions, and technology. Today, adventurers who travel the Silk Road will reap the rewards of historical and natural treasures. With 15 years+ of consistent operation here, Chinasilkroadtours’ extensive experience and local knowledge will bring unparalleled experiences to life.
