The Silk Road's Lost Cities: Samarkand and Bukhara
We leave the sea routes of the Tang dynasty and the spice islands behind to look inland at the great oasis cities that made the Silk Road possible. Samarkand and Bukhara were not just stops on a map but sophisticated urban centers where cultures collided, merged, and evolved.
