In 1271 Marco Polo left Venice for China, on a journey spanning decades. His book, "The Travels of Marco Polo," opened the trade routes to greater traffic as cultures, ideas and goods from the West and East were exchanged. Great fortunes were made on the Silk Road. China traded silk, teas and porcelain. India traded spices, ivory, textiles, precious stones and pepper. The Roman Empire sent gold, silver, fine glassware, wine, carpets and jewels. This program travels through five countries and two dozen cities, bridging the Far East with Europe. You'll see colorful and unforgettable examples of great medieval Islamic art and architecture; fascinating old market streets overflowing with Oriental carpets, spices and exotic wares. And you'll meet the hospitable people all along The Silk Road. See less
