The Silk Road through China stretches from Xian in the Shaanxi Province through to Dunhuang. In ancient times, however, the Silk Road was not a single road, but a collection of hundreds of routes used by traders to form a network. These roads allowed effective trade between Europe, China, and Central Asia.
The description of what is known as the Silk Road today was adopted by a German scholar known as Baron Ferdinand von Richtofen. The road, outlined in the middle of the 19th century, passes through China’s Jade Gate and splits into four different directions.
There are, of course, several reasons to tour China’s Silk Road, each branch leading to Gansu, Shaanxi, Qinghai, or Xinjiang. Check out some of the pictures of our favorite Silk Road destinations.

Lijiang has the best preserved ancient town in China – the Old Town which has been listed in the World Cultural Heritages by UNESCO in 1997. The Old Town was once the center of Lijiang and continues to maintain the original flavor of the local lifestyle, the typical groups of buildings and the profound cultural heritage of the region. When wandering along Square Street or any other streets in the Old Town, you will be struck by the peaceful surroundings. From enjoying the sight of the setting sun from historic hotels to local farmsteads, there are many favorable things here for travelers. Naturally, there are a number of tour destinations to enhance your visit as well.

Shopping guide
Lijiang ancient city was occupied by mostly Naxi people. I feels that Naxi people’s quality is very high. Asking directions will be got enthusiastic and detailed guide; chartered trips along the way, the driver will act as a guide for the attractions we are not familiar with; bubble tea can be heard free of charge to hear the explaination of the history of Lijiang Dongba Culture and so on.If the Naxi people opened a shop where to buy things, they are usually honest so that you need not bargin with them. However, many non-native gather here, they usually raise the price to do business, sell at a discount. Therefore, you must bargain when shopping with them.
Here, all the houses along the street are stores. And the open hours are very long so that 10 pm You can also buy things. Prices are cheaper than the big cities in china, but more expansive than most general medium and small cities. Especially the supermarket, about 10% more expensive than Beijing (no exaggeration). Travelling to Lijiang, you’d better take with all daily necessities, especially snacks.

Clothing guide
Lijiang, a great temperature difference between day and night in winter,and it is relatively dry.In early January, the temperature is 0 ℃ ~ 17 ℃,you must wear cotton clothing when you go out. You can seeeverywhere on the streets women wearing national costumes, dressed in well-known daytime clothes: a sheepskin shawls, embroidery above the wearing seven circle symbol of the Big Dipper. There are sheep in the back, a chill can be blocked, and second, in order to carry the weight Dianzhuo can be seen, Naxi women are hard-working. In addition, we must take note of them (especially older women) and cuff, all are rolled up, and repsent they are always working.

Food guide
” Lijiang cuisine “tastes spicy most. Famous cuisines in Lijiang are:
Lijiang Baba: fried noodles, sweet.
Chicken bean jelly beans: that mung bean jelly, suitable for four seasons consumption.

Accommodation guide
The ancient city within, the accommodation is relatively cheaper. Double standard room is about 80 yuan / night. Due to the protection of the environment, city hotel within few separate toilet room, mostly are public bathrooms. Living in old buildings, THE night is so quiet that the city people can’t imagine.

Transportation guide
Convenient transport, is the characteristic of all small cities. Many bus lines can be described as extending in all directions. There is a conductor on each bus, so you do not need to specially prepare small changes. Here, take a taxi, do not have to worry about blocking, and almost no “black car.”

Enjoying travelling to Lijiang!

what to bring when travelling to China in winter

admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:26:12 +0000

For people those plan to travel in China in winter, I believe, what they most concern is the weather in winter. And what to wear at this time of China.

Below is Five Temperature Zones:

Cold-Temperate Zone: north part of Heilongjiang Province and Inner Mongolia (Representative city: Harbin)
Mid-Temperate Zone: Jilin, northern Xinjiang, and most of Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Inner Mongolia (Representative cities: Beijing, Shenyang, Dalian, Urumqi, Hohhot, Dunhuang, Lanzhou)
Warm-Temperate Zone: area of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Hebei Province (Representative cities: Xian, Taiyuan, Luoyang, Jinan, Qingdao, Zhengzhou)
Subtropical Zone: South of isotherm of Qinling Mountain-Huaihe River, east of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (Representative cities: Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, Guilin, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Chengdu)
Tropical Zone: Hainan province, southern Taiwan, Guangdong, and Yunnan Province (Representative cities: Haikou, Sanya

China has vast land, so the climate varies. For instance, Hainan is tropical hot all year round, but Harbin where is in the far north is very cold in winter, while in the far west, it has typical desert weather in winter.

As a result, what you wear in china’s winter all depends on which place in china you plan to go. But in general, the majority part of China is dry and cold in winter. The outermost layer of clothing should be windproof, and optional cloth, fur or leather clothing; down clothing could be the formation of a relatively non-mobile air layer, warm and very good choice for winter travel clothing, underwear should be soft , moisture, breathable, thermal insulation so as to facilitate drying.
I find the best way to dress is in layers so you can add if you’re cold, take off if you get warm. Quite often the day starts rather cold, but once you’re out, especially if it’s sunny, you’ll warm up. You can wear layers of garments with a sweater and padded jacket outside.Padded jackets and wool-lined boots are one of the best buys in China, you could easily buy one when you need.
Bring clothes that are easy to hand wash and dry. Dark colored clothing allows you to not wash every day. Remember that you can purchase almost any kind of clothing in China. A good pair of comfy, well broken in, hiking shoes are highly recommended.
