Treasures of the Silk Road: Mysteries of the Taklamakan
Along the border between central Asia and India, behind the high Pamir and Tien Shan mountain chains, the Silk Road arrives at an immense basin forming a natural frame around one of the world's largest deserts, the Taklamakan. Discover the hidden civilisations of the Taklamakan - a crossroads of peoples, cultures and beliefs - including the lost kingdom of Loulan and its mummies, the monastery-settlements on the Silk Road, long forgotten Buddhist frescoes and the mysterious citadel of Khara Khoto.
