The Silk Road in Xinjiang Province

Tara C. Trapani

 

As many of our readers know, Mary Evelyn and John took an exciting journey to China this summer, where they spoke at numerous conferences, gave many talks related to Ecological Civilization, and showed screenings of our Emmy Award-winning documentary, Journey of the Universe. We followed their travels on our blog with Mary Evelyn and John Across China Part 1 and Part 2

Mary Evelyn published an article on DeepChina about their experiences this summer and an article about “Building academic friendships with people in China” was written about her and John's travels there. Here you'll also find interviews, photos, and additional articles about this journey. 

But now we'd like to offer a more visual engagement with the first of several photo tours. This one focuses on their experiences in the Xinjiang Province. It provides a little historical and geographic context and a look at ancient Buddhist sites, as well as images of the International Forum on the History and Future of Xinjiang conference.
