Great Silk Road - we know our past and see the present… That is what could happen with everyone who will visit this beautiful city - Samarqand!

With no guarantee that it would be working when I finally got there, I grudgingly decided that I had to economise and so ended up in a dormitory room at Samarkand's cheapest backpacker hostel.

Personally speaking, after three sweaty days in the same clothes, I was taking the road to Samarkand for lust of a warm shower.

Last year, we spent all summer in Samarkand where we hiked almost every day in search for some scriptures.

Jade have been fell and split into two unequal pieces, while crossing the river on the road to Samarqand.
