Stories from the Silk Road
A journey along the ancient Silk Road - with some surprises along the way.
The news has been full of China's One Belt One Road mega-infrastructure project to connect Asia, Europe and the Horn of Africa. It's a sort of modern day version of the ancient Silk Road - and what better opportunity to take a trip of our own. The Fifth Floor follows those famous caravan routes with Rustam Qobil of 麻豆社 Uzbek, Venera Koicheva of 麻豆社 Kyrgyz, Temtsel Hao of 麻豆社 Chinese and Daud Junbish of 麻豆社 Afghan.
