I have a plan for myself, I love traveling and I got traveling at least two times a year. And every time I will take at least 8 to 10 days off. My plan is to finish silk road in I’ve been to Xi’an already and this year I traveled from Lanzhou to Dun Huang next year I’m planning to Xinjiang, Tibet and maybe a year after that I’m going to middle east. To turkey to Kazakhstan, Pakistan. On the way to Europe. It will be interesting to see those countries, As you may know there is a big policy in China, one road one belt. A new policies. So that’s my plan.

I have a plan in the next few years, since I love traveling, I will try to see the whole silk road. I take a trip at least twice a year, and every trip I will take up to 10 days off. My plan is to do the silk road a few parts at a time. I’ve already been to Xi’an and this year I went from Lanzhou to Dun Huang. Next year I’m planning to go to Xinjiang and Tibet. Perhaps the year after that I’ll go to the middle east, on my way to Europe, like Turkey, Kazakhstan or Pakistan. It’ll be enlightening to see those countries, as you may know there is a major policy in China, one belt one road, or the new silk road. So I’d like to see these places that will become huge economic centers in the future. That’s my tentative plan.
