Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizations of China, India, Egypt, Persia, Arabia and Rome, and in several respects helped lay the foundations for the modern world. The Silk Routes was an opportunity to exchange customs of eating habits with the concept of balanced food and way of living with the Yin & the Yang. Treat your taste buds to a fine dining experience in exquisite surroundings at the elegant Silk Road.
