Silk Road Photos

The Silk Road is the world's oldest and most important trade and civilization transmission route. It's the pride of Chinese and people all over the world. This legendary line started from the ancient Chinese capital-Luoyang, traversed numerous mountains, vast desert, stretched through central Asia and reached Europea. It at the first time made communication between the east and west possible. Now the Silk Road had gone and the plodding caravans and the smart Central Asian merchants long in our imagination only belonged to a time goneby. But its spirit and influence lives and overflows. These photos display some tangible aspects of this significant trade link to help you explore this ancient civilization through our camera.
