I like your opening line, 'Not so much a destination as a sound waiting to be heard'.

So much rich language here I’m spoiled for choice for a quote! ‘deep concave channels of sunlight and holy geometry’, really evocative, then picked up in the last line: ‘ancient buildings made of light.’ Gorge.

Great writing, and so evocative of the lovely times on holiday when you can slip away from the crowds and experience something amazing in peace. Hope there is more to come from the Silk Route.
