Lop way-station

Yeng ran a way-station in the town of Lop. Like all way-stations in Cathay, it provided accommodation and provisions to those who wore the gold seal of Kublai Khan.

In 1289, the way-station provided a few days of accommodation for the First Doctor, Susan, Ian, and Barbara, as well as Marco Polo's caravan as they rested on their journey to Shang-Tu from the Plain of Pamir. (TV: "The Roof of the World")
