For Miller, an 80-year-old man, it's a
chance of a lifetime. Miller is a part of a group of around 60 Germans who are
on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.
About
this journey, he says:“I have been deeply
interested in the Silk Road since I was a child. But now I finally have a
chance to experience it.”
The two-month bus journey will take the group
through Germany, Russia and other 4 European countries. They will then enter
China from the country's western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for
them.
Nearly half of the 13,000-kilometer trip will
be inside China. From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east, the German
visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities. "We have managed the trip
of the Silk Road for around 10 years. An increasing number of people, not only
from German-speaking countries, have been joining us." Says Liu Guoqiang
from China Tours.
Almost
26 million foreigners traveled to China in 2015, and about 5 million of them
were from Europe. Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai and the Yangtze River are
traditional Chinese travel destinations
for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Miller says: "Compared
with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts me more."
As Shi Xiang, head of
China Tours says "Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors, the Silk
Road is good for people to know more about China, especially the northwestern
part of the country.”
