• 00:05

  Hello, welcome to Roundtable's special series, China Horizons,

• 00:13

  where we get out of the studio and go to the real places here in the country and discover the authentic stories.

• 00:20

  We are still in Xinjiang today, and we are looking at a special subject.

• 00:26

  Imagine yourself walking into a land where every corner tells a story,

• 00:31

  and every tradition is a treasure.

• 00:33

  Here in Xinjiang, we see the thrive of different cultures that are diverse, beautiful, and abundant.

• 00:39

  We'll get to the bottom of it, and I'm Niu Honglin with lightning and nation for today's show.

• 00:44

  Hello, everybody.

• 00:46

  Before going into details of the amazing culture stories that we've discovered throughout the days when we're here,

• 00:54

  first I'd like to start a little quiz.

• 00:56

  showcasing where we are right now.

• 00:59

  We are at a rather special area in not only the region but the entire country

• 01:04

  because it's at the far west area of it to be more precise.

• 01:09

  From here you get to Beijing and you get to Moscow using the same amount of time.

• 01:15

  It's almost the same amount of time and also this place is a very important hub on the ancient Silk Road.

• 01:23

  And the last clue is that here,

• 01:26

  this is a city that is a living ancient city with thousands of years of history.

• 01:33

  There are many other ones, but I think this one has one of the oldest history.

• 01:39

  And we are at Kashgar.

• 01:41

  That's where we are.
