In Across the Taklamakan Desert, you will be the first foreign visitors in over seventy-five years to the ancient Buddhist city of Miran, southwest of the legendary kingdom of Lou-lan. You will meet the Uighurs of the oasis town of Cherchen, near the Kun-lun mountains, and then attempt to cross the Taklamakan Desert, which means "The place from which nothing living returns!" After losing your way in the 120 degree heat, you will stumble into the ruins of Niya, and then attempt a night escape across the desert to safety!
