The Stunning Mosques of Samarkand

The name Samarkand has always appeared in our history books. From the Western Han to the mid-Tang dynasty, Samarkand, located at the crossroads of East and West, has always been a key city on the Silk Road. The memory of the nine clans of Zhaowu, the legends of the Sogdian merchants, the destruction by Genghis Khan's cavalry, the reconstruction by the Timurid Empire... Persian, Islamic, and Mongol civilizations collided here, and even Marco Polo marveled at its glory! Walking through the ancient city, every step treads on echoes of history.
