The Silk Road is a significant international passage connecting the oriental and the occidental, and much notable scenery and historic relics are scattered along this historical museum and natural art corridor. There are lots of branches and sub-branches of the route, such as the Silk Road on the Sea, and the Southern Silk Road. The Silk Road usually mentioned in a common sense refers to the branch across the oasis, mainly traversing Shaanxi, Gansu, Hexi Corridor and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Xi'an(called Chang'an in ancient time) was the starting point of the ancient Silk Road. Silk andother commodities were gathered in this prosperous city from all parts of the country. Nowadays, this sparkling ancient capital still attracts numerous visitors with its Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, Shaanxi Provincial Historical Museum and many other famous attractions.

I don't think it's a good idea. If possible, you should use train or other public transportation tools like bus. And you should know that there isn't any qualified camping base. It's too risky and unsafe.

Alice, it isn't the coldest time. The average temperatures in these places are from 3 to 20 Celsius Degrees. However, temperature difference between day and night is huge. Therefore, you should bring several warm clothes, such as sweater, overcoat and other clothes for cold weather. And it might be windy in Jiayuguan, Zhangye and Dunhuang. You know, there are sands. So you'd better bring a scarf to prevent the sands.
