The Silk Road 丝绸之路 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

No highway in the world is as laden with romance and adventure as the Silk Road. As recently as the 1930s, travellers on the first stretch from Xi’an to Lanzhou would have to journey by pony, the original ‘slow travel’. Although modes of transport have improved since then, only now do we see the introduction of the first ever full-colour guide to the entire 5,000-mile trading route, from China to the Mediterranean. Chris Bradley, one of the main contributors to the newly published Insight Guides’ The Silk Road, takes you on a journey through the landscapes, history and cultures of the Road, as it traverses some 13 countries, highlighting everything from the domes of Samarkand to the bazaars of Aleppo, the oasis of Turpan to the sands of the Taklamakan, and the walls of Khiva to the ruins of Palmyra.
