Khiva Oasis, A Treasure On The Silk Road

During our days across heritage cities in Uzbekistan, we mostly traveled by train. This water train is quite modern and comfortable, but the roads are very similar with the scenery on either side of the vast desert or the vast cotton fields. Only when the train runs into the suburbs of the city, the houses, trees, and the bustling market will appear like a beautiful oasis. CuaKhiva is a famous oasis on the Silk Road.
