		The Taklamakan Desert was one of many obstacles facing Silk Road travelers, and caravan routes were obliged to skirt it along its northern or southern rim.
		The basin is 1500 km in length from east to west, and 600 km north to south, with a typical elevation of 1000 meters in the center.
		While the Taklamakan is not the largest desert in the world, it is one of the most inhospitable owing to the fineness of its sand--which give poor traction to vehicles and works its way into even the most carefully protected equipment.
