China;America just got in the way.The Spanish were after the riches of Asia:silk,dates,spices.Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East,trade with China depended on the Silk

modern,cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.Other places featured include Xian,the former capital of China,where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect Chinas first emperor in the afterlife.From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan,Chinas western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.There is also a four-day
