The Silk Road was a passage for the transportation of silk in ancient times. Lots of relics on the road can still(see) now. From the relics, tourists can see the outline of the ancient metropolitan (大都会的) areas along fantastic road. In the tour packages, tourists can imagine (they) to be ancient merchants by riding camels in deserts.
The Silk Road is a long route, Xi'an in the east to Gansu and Xinjiang in the west. If it is your first trip to China, we (sincere) suggest you should spend at least ten days visiting Beijing, Xi'an, Dunhuang, Urumqi and Kashi. You could get to know about the history of China and experience (color) scenery along the Silk Road.
If you are an (experience) traveler wanting to explore China fully, it is recommended you should travel to Dunhuang, Zhangye, Jiayuguan, Turpan, Kashi and Urumqi to follow the footprint of Marco Polo. This route may take about 15 days. If you have only a one week holiday, the (choose) of three most famous cities will be fit for you.
Along the Silk Road route, Xi'an and Gansu are suitable to visit all year round. The best time(visit) Xinjiang is from May to October because the weather is mild.
