Trip Overview
西安と敦煌、シルクロードを象徴する二大古都を巡る8日間の深度文化の旅。
From Xi'an, the capital of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, to Dunhuang, an oasis city that flourished in the desert.
Visit representative World Cultural Heritage sites and historical landmarks of the Silk Road in one trip, including the Terracotta Army, ancient city wall ruins, Mogao Caves, and Mingsha Mountain with Crescent Lake, experiencing the grand historical flow where Eastern and Western civilizations intersected.
This tour emphasizes experiences beyond mere "sightseeing," such as appreciating representative cave complexes at the Mogao Caves and viewing the ancient capital Xi'an from atop the city walls.
Savor with all five senses the time woven from the profoundness of dynastic culture and the tranquility of desert culture.
Additionally, focus on the culinary cultures of both Xi'an and Dunhuang.
From traditional dishes inherited in Chang'an to the simple, rustic flavors unique to the Hexi Corridor, this “journey for the palate,” reflecting history and local climate, is also a major attraction.
Xi'an, where the memory of dynasties breathes, and Dunhuang, embraced by the eternal desert.
Embark on a journey through a millennium-old story connecting the beginning and end of the Silk Road.
