Ancient Silk Road underground tombs museum opens in Xinjiang
About eight meters underneath a bustling street in Kuqa in northwestern China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a complex of tombs has lain dormant for more than 1,700 years. Today, however, the tombs, which date back to the ancient Silk Road, have been brought back to life thanks to a unique museum.
