BISHKEK

His proposed route was from China's Urumqi and Yining to Almaty in Kazakhstan, then to Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, Tashkent and Samarkand in Uzbekistan, Ashgabat in Turkmenistan and finally blending into West Asia's network through Teheran, Iran.

该路线从中国乌鲁木齐、伊宁出发，途经哈萨克斯坦的阿拉木图、吉尔吉斯斯坦的比什凯克、塔什干、乌兹别克斯坦的撒马尔罕、土库曼斯坦的阿什哈巴德，最后通过伊朗的德黑兰到达西亚铁路网。

From there we would have to drive six hundred kilometres across the desert to Ashgabat and then catch a flight to Bishkek in Kirgistan, our next destination in central Asia.

或则坐船从里海去土库曼斯坦的克拉斯诺伏斯克，再从那里驱车行驶600公里穿越沙漠，到阿什哈巴德乘飞机去Kirgistan（克里吉斯坦）的比什凯克，我们的下一个目的地是在亚洲腹地。

While the first decade after communism was rough, the past decade has been kinder to the region that stretches from Tallinn and Tirana in the West to Vladivostok and Bishkek in the East.

虽然前苏联解体后的头十年形势紊乱，但过去十年本地区的形势较为稳定，从西部的塔林和地拉那到东部的海参巍和比什凯克都是如此。
