My travel to the silk road----part one

21.10.2006

I am traveling to the Silk Road, I am visiting Dunhuang, which is my dream. The ancient Silk Road used to be the main artery of communication and cultural exchange between[ http://www.achinatravel.com/china-travel.asp]China[/url] and the western countries. However, as the development and evolvement of history, the function and resplendence of the “Silk Road” in those years have gone. What will the “Silk Road” leave us after it suffered from baptism? In hope of discovering the suspense in our heart and recalling the refulgent cultural [http://www.achinatravel.com/travel-guide/travelogue-dragon-river.asp]river[/url] of history, we eight people started our plan of “travel to the West”, re-walking the “Silk Road” following the Ancients’ footmarks.

In the morning of September 20th, 2002, at 8:00, holding the mood of exploring the mysterious “Silk Road”, we took flight 3995 to our first destination to the western region, Urumqi, Xinjiang. We were transferred to Xi’an. And after about 5 hours of flight, we safely landed in Urumqi (the interborough capital of Xinjiang) airport. Through the arrangement of the Chinese travel agency , Xinjiang branch, we fixed on the route of our trip to the western region. In the evening, we had a wash and started visiting the city, tasting the orthodox snacks in Xinjiang-- rinse mutton and roasted muttony string. The transportationin the city is also convenient, which charges only 6RMB for renting a car[url]. Returned to the guest house, we took a rest for a night. On the morning of September 21th, at 8:00, we got on the http://www.achinatravel.com/travel-guide/transportation-bus-12-seat.aspmicrobus arranged by the travel agency, started to the northern Xingjiang. We planned to started from Urumqi, towards the northeast, and through Fukang, Fuyun, Aletai, to our destination--Bu’erjing, the whole route is more than 900 kilometers long.
