Tune Hotels will sponsor a winner to explore the ancient Silk Road. Beginning August 5, 2012, and approximately 30 other explorers will begin a month-long four-wheel drive (4×4) expedition spanning over 10,000 kilometres along China’s piece of the Silk Road. The journey begins in Kashgar in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in western China bordering Tajikistan and ends in the Chinese northern city of Tianjin, near Beijing.
Travelers will view 9 sites to experience cultures, scenery and destinations that have been untouched for hundreds and even thousands of years. Expedition members will stay in mountain campsites, Mongolian yurts and hotels.
