Three mountain ranges flank the Taklaman Desert, the Tien Shan, the Kunlun mountains, and the Pamirs. Although most sand deserts are famous for being hot, in the winter the Taklaman Desert can get as cold as -20 degrees celsius. The Silk Road actually didn't go through the Taklamakan Desert but it did go around the northern and western edges of the desert.]]> 2021-03-25 18:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354359398 1fapidduck https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354364974 2021-03-25 18:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354364974 1fapidduck https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354594022 2021-03-25 19:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354594022 1fapidduck https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354596085 2021-03-25 19:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354596085 1fapidduck https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354597919 2021-03-25 19:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1354597919 1nllayton https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1356087739 Niya was once a thriving trade market for the Silk Road but is now reduced to little more that wood and stone. It lays at the end of a long dried up river which the city was named after that winded through the Taklamakan Desert. There was estimated to be about 3,000 people once living there, all long gone now. What happened in the Niya Ruins, we don't know much about. The most likely thing that happened was that the Niya river dried up but we can't tell weather it was before the city fell or after. We do know that although this was once a thriving trade market, it is now dried up like the river which once sustained it.]]> 2021-03-26 05:27:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dpradcliffe/qqrziw3ga24ffga/wish/1356087739
