Nestled between the Kunlun Mountains and the Taklamakan Desert, Hotan has long been a vital stop on the ancient Silk Road. Taste of Hotan is a five-part documentary that explores this rich crossroads of cultures through its food, people, and history. Spanning over 247,000 square kilometers and eight counties, the series took more than two years to research and film. Through powerful human stories and authentic dishes, the film captures the fusion of jade culture, Silk Road legacy, and local traditions that make Hotan’s cuisine—and its spirit—truly one of a kind.
