The vast desolation of the Taklamakan forced all trader out of China to make a choice. They could take either the northern route through Kara Kum, Korls, Kucha and Ak’su, or the southern route through Miran, Charkalik, Charchan, Domoko, Niya, Khotan. Both roads would meet again at the major trading city of Kashgar. |
