[{"title":"Day 1: Arrival in Kashgar","name":"Kashgar Prefecture","description":"Welcome to China! Upon arrival into Kashgar, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Kashgar is an important trading town in the far west of China, close to the borders with Pakistan and Kirgistan. It has been the epicentre of regional trade and cultural exchange for more than two millennia. The remoteness has helped to preserve the unique character of the city. Explore the streets of the old city centre, which is unfortunately becoming smaller and smaller with the development of new housing. This small section of the ‘real’ Old Town is unlikely to survive for much longer. Despite these changes, the spirit of Kashgar lives on. Uighur craftsmen and artisans still hammer and chisel away as they have done for centuries, traders haggle over deals in the boisterous bazaars and donkey carts still trundle their way through the narrow alleyways. Enjoy dinner tonight at a local restaurant.","lat":"39.47042","lng":"75.98976"},{"title":"Day 2: Kashgar - Karakuli Lake – Kashgar","name":"Kashgar Prefecture","description":"Today you will make your way to the biggest alpine lake in the world, Karakuli Lake (approx. 200km – 4-5hr drive).

After your Karez visit, you will head to visit the Jiaohe Ancient City which used to be the capital city of the former Cheshi State. It is renowned as the “perfect ruins of an earth building” because it has been well preserved for almost two thousand years. To know more about Turpan’s history as well as the Silk Road, visit the Turpan Museum which is the best way to learn all about this fascinating area.

It has some of the finest examples of Buddhist art in a period of 1,000 years. From here you will visit Crescent Lake whcih is a crescent-shaped lake in an oasis. Just as oil and water don’t mix, so do springs and deserts. But Crescent Spring is an exception. Having been lying among these sand dunes for thousands of years, although given many surprise attacks by sandstorms, Crescent Spring still gurgles clear, and still remains worthy as the first spring in the desert.","lat":"40.14219","lng":"94.66197"},{"title":"Day 12: Dunhuang-Jiayuguan","name":"Dunhuang","description":"Today you will drive to Jiayuguan.

This part of the Great wall was built by using local gravel and yellow earth, layer upon layer, and it consists of the main path, battlements and three observation posts.

The creek was later named Jiu Quan (“Wine Spring”), which became the name of the Han prefecture established there. It was an active military garrison during the later Han Dynasty.

They are the result of deposits of sandstone and other minerals that occurred over 24 million years. The result, similar to a layer cake, is connected to the action of the same tectonic plates responsible for creating parts of the Himalayan mountains. Wind, rain, and time then sculpted extraordinary shapes, including towers, pillars, and ravines, with varying colours, patterns, and sizes.","lat":"39.77138","lng":"98.28708"},{"title":"Day 14: Jiayuguan-Zhangye","name":"Zhangye","description":"Today you continue with a visit to Jiuquan.
