Introduction to the Silk Road (Odyssey Guides)

Odyssey Publications, Ltd.

The early trade in silk was carried on against incredible odds by great caravans of merchants and animals traveling over some of the most inhospitable territory on the face of the earth--searing, waterless deserts and snowbound mountain passes. Beginning at the magnificent ancient city of Chang'an (Xi'an), the route took traders westward along the Hexi Corridor to the giant barrier of the Great Wall, then either north or south of the Takiamakan Desert to Kashgar before continuing on to India, to Iran or to the great cities of Constantinople, Damascus and Baghdad. For today's traveler it is not only the weight of history that makes the Silk Road intriguing, but the incredible diversity of scenery and ethnic people along the way. This book is the authoritative guide to travel in the region.

They refer to it simply as Changjiang, or Long River. Stretching for nearly 4,000 miles, the Yangzi is China?s main artery, supporting a third of its people; it also serves as the country's primary commercial waterway.
