Can we go through China? How many Stans are there? What is the Silk Route?

We used Google Maps to list the places that we wanted to visit and worked from this.

The route isnt set in stone and it will change frequently, hopefully because we will want to see an additional place, and not because of any tension in any area.

There is currently an outline plan for the route as follows...
