Chart the course of history along the world’s most famous trade routes, where ancient cities and cultures have flourished and still resonate with their unique, glorious pasts. In the heart of China in Xi’an, marvel at the Qin terra-cotta warriors and a kung fu performance by Shaolin monks, or venture to the legendary Famen Temple to see the Sui and Tang dynasty riches of the largest religious vault ever discovered in the country. In China’s desert frontier, step into the fourth-century cave monasteries of Dunhuang, filled with awe-inspiring Buddhist art that few have ever seen. In Mongolia, search for dinosaur fossils at the Flaming Cliffs and spend an unforgettable night in a comfortable ger camp. In Uzbekistan, admire Samarkand’s markets and traditional Islamic architecture. In Armenia, visit the oldest churches in the world’s first Christian nation. And in Turkey, explore the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus and the Hagia Sophia at Istanbul, legendary wonders of the ancient world.
