Frimpong is almost ready to send us the pictures from his more recent exciting adventure!
He went with Christophe Boudier and his friends,
discovering the ancient vestiges of a mythical itinerary….
The Silk Road is the most well-known trading route of ancient Chinese civilization.
Trade in silk grew under the Han Dynasty (202 BC - AD 220) in the first and second centuries AD.
Chan Ch'ien, the first known Chinese traveller to make contact with the Central Asian tribes, later came up with the idea to expand the silk trade to include these lesser tribes and therefore forge alliances with these Central Asian nomads. Because of this idea, the Silk Road was born.
The route grew with the rise of the Roman Empire because the Chinese initially gave silk to the Roman-Asian governments as gifts.
Frimpong informs us that he has made friend with lots of people within this group and that he had fabulous and moving encounters with children (and ladies…) of the area.
Besides all that, the curious travelling bear has taken the time to discover traditions, monuments, food and drinks along this fantastic road.
