The Road begins at Xian, then by way of the Hexi Corridor, and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route, Central Route and Northern Route, all of which spread over the Xinjiang Province, and then they extend as far as India and Rome. The places of cultural and natural interests include the well-known Mogao Caves (Mogao Grottoes) in Dunhuang, the bustling Sunday Bazzar in Kashgar and exotic customs in Xinjiang and much more.
