Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, on behalf of myself, I wish you all a pleasant journey! Today, I will accompany you on this silk journey.
The route we took this time was the farthest route on the Silk Road back then. Our starting place is Xi'an, the ancient capital of the 12 dynasties and the first of the six ancient capitals with a history of more than 3,000 years of civilization, which was called Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty and nicknamed Xijing. Then through the beautiful and rich Hexi Corridor, what is presented in front of us is the scene of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep".
Come to Dunhuang with Mogao Grottoes, walk through the Yumen Pass, appreciate the desolation of "the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass", cross the towering green mountains, come to Iran, appreciate the exotic customs, and finally we come to Europe. That's the route we're going to take on this trip. Are you ready?
Let's go!
