For over 20 years, we have been dedicated to providing customers with long-distance travel services that are not on the conventional tourist routes.

 

Our primary focus lies in the renowned Silk Road, which connects Europe and China. This is a historic passage spanning over 15,000 kilometers.

 

To truly immerse yourself in the local customs and culture, you can drive your own car from one destination to another during our travel activities. Whether you prefer driving your beloved vintage car, a daily-use sedan, or if you're a sports enthusiast who enjoys riding a motorcycle, we can cater to every car enthusiast's needs. Additionally, traveling by a comfortable coach is also a popular choice.

 

Regardless of the mode of transportation you choose, the New Silk Road will be your trusted partner, as we possess extensive experience. Please personally explore the exclusive travel programs we have prepared for you, and read the experience sharing of other travelers.
