A Silk Road road trip that took more than a month has come to an end.

Touching down in Taipei at the far east, then heading west all the way through Beijing, Xi’an, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, and Xinjiang (Southern and Northern Xinjiang), continuing to Tashkurgan at the far west (the China-Pakistan border). Along the way, the scenery was magnificent and awe-inspiring—no need to say more—and I also used the trip to catch up on a large amount of history about Xinjiang, with plenty to gain.
This trip received unanimous high praise from my whole family. Highly recommended—an all five-star itinerary well worth every Chinese person taking once.
