California wins are catching up very rapidly, made it's import role in the wine world. By chance, California located near latitude north 44°.

long time he had a dream  to bring a good wine to Europe. Traveled many regions in China, tasted a lot of wines, finally, he got the wine he dreamed - Dragon Celeste, produced in Xin Jiang province, could be

the third best wine region in the future.

 SILK ROAD

Ancient Silk Road connected the Orient and the West,

Today Dragon Celeste connecting the culture once again !

    The Silk Road was an ancient, 7000 miles long, network of trade route between China's capital

    Changan and the westernmost reaches of the Roman empire. These routes, historically, were

    used to exchange not only silk with China and the West, but a wide variety of other commodi-

    ties as well. There are 4 major routes, Northern route as the map above - westward to Black

    Sea. Central route - Westward to Persia, Mediterranean Sea, Rome. Southern route - Westward

    to Afghanistan, Iran, India. Eastward to Xi'an..

    These routes all started from the capital in Changan,  headed up the Gansu corridor, reached

    Dunhuang on the edge of the Taklimakan. The northern route then passed through Yumen

    Guan ( Jade Gate Pass) and crossed the neck of the Gobi desert to Hami( Kumul), before follow- 

    ing the Tianshan mountains round the northern fringes of the Taklimakan. It passed through

    the major oases of Turfan and Kuqa before arriving at Kashgar, at the foot of the Pamirs. The

    southern route branched off at Dunhuang, passing through the Yang Guan and skirting the

    southern edges of the desert, via Miran, Hetian ( Khotan) and Shache ( Yarkand), finally

    turning north again to meet the other route at Kashgar. Numerous other routes were also used

    to a lesser extent. One branched off from the southern route and headed through the Eastern

    end of the Taklimakan to the city of Loulan, before joining the northern route at Korla.

    Kashgar became the new crossroads of Asia. From here the routes again divided, heading across

    the Pamirs to Samarkiand and to the south of the Caspian Sea, or to the South,  over the

    Karakorum into India. A further route split from the northern route after Kuqa and headed 

    across the Tianshan range to eventually reach the shores of the Caspian Sea, via Tashkent.
