This fully illustrated volume depicts the historic three-year expedition launched by the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation and Central China Television to retrace the steps of the early travellers and traders along this 5,000 mile stretch of ancient trading route linking East and West.
Setting out from the great walled city of Chang'an in China, home of the Terracotta Army, and running west through the Gansu corridor to Dunhuang, where it divided into two routes to avoid the dangerous Taklaman Desert, the Silk Road was not only an ancient trade route, but also an avenue of cultural and intellectual exchange. This fully illustrated volume depicts the historic three-year expedition launched by the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation and Central China Television to retrace the steps of the early travellers and traders along this 5,000 mile stretch of trading route linking East and West. Augmented by maps and contemporary illustrations, the text displays the history, architecture, landscapes and cultures to be found along the Silk Road.
