Travelling the Silk Road
Posted by: | CommentsThe Silk Road is one of China’s most popular tourist destinations. There are already heaps of travel agents and tour companies offering tours in 2010. So where is it and why is it so popular?
Traditionally the Silk Road extends from Xian in central China to either the Middle East or Europe. In fact there are many routes, some to Moscow in the north and those into India and Pakistan in the south. Just like travellers in the time of Marco Polo – the thirteenth century – the ancient trade routes still exist although the type of goods sold and the method of transport have changed. The reason why the Silk Road starts/ends in Xian is that it was the ancient capital of China and internal trade routes, in many cases along the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, were already established to distribute goods within China.
Nowadays, many tourists start their Silk Road journey in Beijing. The Imperial City, the Great Wall of China the many places of historic interest will make a 3-5 day stay worthwhile. Add to it a little shopping and time to experience northern Chinese cuisine and you are ready for your Silk Road experience.
Getting there.
Most international airlines fly into Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. There is a lesser choice of flights to and from western China and most of these are based out of the capital of Xinjiang Province, Urumqi.

Asia Offers Amazing Vacation Opportunities
Posted by: | CommentsMore and more people are tempted each year to go to an Asian beach resort. That’s no wonder really. There are a handful of very appealing destinations in Asia, from the clear waters in Thailand to the beach resorts in Philippine.
They offer a variety of services that have increased in quality due to the fact that tourism is an important source of income for many of those countries. For example, in many of those beach resorts, diving enthusiasts can practice their favorite sport in crystal waters teeming with colorful fish. It sounds like a description of heaven itself, but this isn’t far fetched at all.
But the impressive scenery doesn’t stop here. Golden soft beaches stretching for miles, the tropical touches, the proximity of mountains in many of those areas, are just a few glimpses of what Asian beach resorts can offer.
In short, Asia has become a hot destination. Another big advantage is the fact that everything is cheap, hotels, food, everything included here. Of course, there are a variety of services, and those who are more costly offer better services, like anywhere in the world actually. But as a general trait, it is indeed pretty cheap.
