Talk:Silk Road Tour

I don't think that it should ne merged with the main Silk Road itinerary article since it mainly deals with a small portion of the Silk Road within the Xinjiang Province. At the very least, it should be added to the itinerary section of the Xinjiang page and the main Silk Road article should reference this itinerary for the portion through Xinjiang.

This is, after all, an itinerary. Granted it talks about something already listed but limits the scope of the itinerary to one local area. Would be like giving the itinerary in nebraska of the oregon trail for people to follow even though there is an oregon trail main article listing the total trail in generic information. Of course, xinjiang article needs fleshing out and that will come in time, just like wikivoyage is being fleshed out, in pieces in time.


 * Even the original Silk Road article looks pretty skeletal, so I don't see why this couldn't be merged in there. If you do insist on a standalone itinerary, then you'll need a more descriptive name for this... (WT-en) Jpatokal 06:07, 10 February 2007 (EST)

UNESCO calls the Silk Road the "Great Silk Road" and considers all routes from the Mediteranian to Xian. How about changing the main article to "The Great Silk Road" and the lesser itinerary to something like Xinjiang Silk Road Tour or Caravan along the Three Routes of the Great Silk Road.
