Passage to China : a photographic celebration of the silk road

---

With a distance of approximately four thousand miles by land between China and ancient Rome, filled with foreboding deserts and fierce mountains, traveling between the two regions was a treacherous and often life-threatening trip. Chinas Silk Road was instrumental in opening up a world that had never been experienced before, linking the exotic East to the development of the West.Today, much of the Ancient Silk Road passes through present-day war zones and countries once shrouded under the impenetrable Iron Curtain. To this day, China offers the most protected and visited site on the route, with 3,100 miles of the Silk Routes Network of the Changan-Tianshan Corridor featured in the UNESCO World Heritage list. This portion of China, rich with centuries of culture, includes remote sections of the Great Wall, markets, temples, palaces, and more.
