I was visiting the Mogao caves and Crescent moon, stayed at The Best Hotel, called The Silk Road Hotel and enjoyed the evening historical open air show ! All highly recommended to visit, a once in a life time experience.Try also the 24 hours open Noodles restaurants, simple food with great taste in the Dunhuang city food street, even the wines are worth to dry especially the red wines or even ice wine on offer(originally the grape roots were brought there more than 1000 years ago already from France along the Silk Road

Wall only or wall and road

[@planzero6318]

Hmmm it is nice to see a documentary type video like this but I think you have not studied or try to cross examine the about the Tunghuang Caves and finding of many manuscripts of Buddhist scriptures and history of Tibet.. I can see that you have used some of knowledge from other documentaries about the walls..

If they don’t say anything about mulberry trees this is not a good documentary the silk Road was lined with mulberry trees because that’s Silk worms want to eat

[@tatsdgreat8886]

Ur ignorance knows no bounds...silk road isn't named like that because it's lined with mulberry trees...no tree would grow in that hot desert....the most common product that pass through those roads are silk, so they call it silk road!

[@nitinkataria2382]

It's silk route not silk road. And it was a route from which the Chinese businessmen used to go to far flunk countries to sell silk and silk based products. So, there is nothing much to create a hype about it. Chinese history has more of India and Mongolia into it talking of martial arts, spiritualism and leaders.

[@skipinkoreaable]

Technically speaking you're right (except for the fact that there were multiple routes). However, the term Silk Road is an accepted term that has been in general use for a very long time. Given this, it's not wrong to use this term...
