  • Bradley writes tourist guides mostly about Asia, but this time he is working on a very special project, retracing the route Marco Polo took from Venice over 750 years ago, happy with any transport he can get, always going East, along the great Silk Road. He’s been on the road for months, and has now made it to China and is in Dunhuang a desert city at the edge of the Gobi Desert. He finishes the remainder of his journey following the Silk Road through Gansu Province to Lanzhou, Inner Mongolia, and finally, he arrives in the imperial city, Beijing.

    Marco Polo, must have been a phenomenal character, with guts and great courage, with a thirst for knowledge

    Love this series: my dream would have been to travel with Marco Polo on his epic adventure: you just can’t even begin to imagine how incredible it must have been: have been to the house he lived in in Venice : he truly was amazing 😊❤️

    I love this series so much that I wanted to reserve my comment, but historical trauma won't let me. 00:08:15 "It has not been forgotten that in 1907 two European Archeologists - some say Art Thieves - smuggled large parts of the Mogao Cave treasures to Europe." Fact: They were Thieves calling themselves Archeologists. European Thieves never call themselves Thieves.

    This is a documentary from 20 years ago? It's hard to see old trains like this in China now, and very few cars like this. Many of the old cars have been scrapped. Also the way ordinary people dress, which is also fashionable around 2000. Finally, there is very little pollution in Lanzhou now, especially in the last 20 years, and you don't really see such bad air.

    We don’t know whether Marco Polo actually went to China or not. 5:32

    This documentary is quite old. China now is much less polluted, the trains and roads are much better

    i traveled through the great gobi desert many years ago, i don't think i would go again. the desert wasn't very good. especially the cherry pie and chocolate pudding. the jello was o.k. but the velvet cake was downright nasty.

    they were not saying “chao” to the camel. They were actually saying “Xia” (下), which is the mandarin word for down.

    From the phones people used in the video, I am sure it looks like 1990s China, certainly not now.
