Set foot on the Silk Road. Probably the plan is to ride from Henan to Xinjiang. Go to southern Xinjiang first, then to northern Xinjiang, and then return.

I don't know where you come from in Henan, so I take Zhengzhou as the starting point.

Route:

Zhengzhou-Dengfeng-Luoyang -Xi 'an-Xianyang-Yinchuan-Zhongwei-Guyuan-Lanzhou-Wuwei-Zhangye-Jiuquan-Jiayuguan-Dunhuang-Hami-Turpan-Urumqi-Aksu-Kashgar

Notes on Silk Road Tourism

The Silk Road has long tourist routes, many days, large temperature difference between day and night, large temperature difference between morning and afternoon, great difference in altitude, great difference in folk customs, especially different eating habits, economic conditions and living standards. So make all necessary preparations before you leave.

It is especially important to remind you that you must prepare your field backpack. How to make good use of backpacks in outdoor travel is very knowledgeable. In order to free hands, the backpack must be a shoulder strap. If the walking distance is long, it is best to choose a backpack with a belt, which can effectively disperse the load. The strap length of the backpack should be adjusted, and the center of gravity should fall on the back. The size depends on the use. If there is a plan for camping in the wild, the backpack should be at least 65 liters, because tents and sleeping bags are needed. It's better to have more pockets in your backpack, so that you can hold your hair and take it easily. General necessities should include: rain gear, kettle, sunglasses, travel shoes, camera, spare battery, light bulb, flashlight, dry towel, map and various clothes. In addition, you need a medium-sized aluminum or stainless steel lunch box-not only a first-aid kit, but also for melting snow or drinking water if necessary. The inner surface of the box cover can be used as a reflector of solar light to send out signals.

Introduction:

The Silk Road is a famous ancient land trade route across Asia and connecting Eurasia. The Silk Road starts from Chang 'an (now Xi 'an) in the east, passes through Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang, crosses Qingji (now Pamirs), passes through Central Asian CIS, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria, and reaches the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, with a total length of more than 7,000 kilometers. The Silk Road in China is more than 4,000 kilometers long, which is about half of the total length of the Silk Road.

The Silk Road has a history of more than 2,000 years and its charm is eternal. Today, many historical sites, places of interest, magnificent natural scenery and colorful ethnic customs along the ancient Silk Road still attract thousands of tourists from all over the world. Historically, camels, known as desert boats, were once the main means of transportation on the Silk Road. Nowadays, tourists can travel along the Silk Road by plane, train and car, which is fast, convenient, comfortable and safe. There are many historical and cultural sites along the Silk Road in China. Mainly include: Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Qin Dynasty, Famen Temple, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Maijishan Grottoes, Jiayuguan of the Great Wall and the beacon tower site of the Han Dynasty, Ta 'er Temple, a famous Tibetan Buddhist temple, Gaochang site, and so on.
