Discover the captivating legacy of Hisor Fortress, an ancient gem located just west of Dushanbe in Tajikistan. Boasting a history spanning over 3,000 years, this storied city once served as a bustling hub on the Silk Road, where legendary travelers like Zhang Qian and Xuanzang left their mark.
In a delightful fusion of past and present, a CGTN team recently embraced the local vibe by donning traditional attire and joining a spirited dance, moving in sync with the rhythmic beat of ceremonial drums 🎶. This unique moment not only brought history to life but also celebrated the enduring charm of cultural exchange.
An elderly local summed it up perfectly: "Many countries have invaded this land throughout history – but China is the only one that has always extended a hand of friendship." His words serve as a powerful reminder of how shared heritage can unite people across generations and borders.
