Silk Road is an historical route which connected ancient china to the various ancient
countries in the west through commercial trade. Silk Road was started as
a trade route but now it has a meaningful aspect in history than merely
being a trade route because it linked up the ancient Chinese, Indian, Persian,
Arabic culture with the ancient Greek and Roman culture and promoted the
exchange between the Oriental civilization and the Occidental civilization.
Caravan bells have tinkled for over two thousand years on the silk road.
It used to take a whole year and a half for a caravan to go through Xinjiang,
and the journey was arduous, to say the least. Travelers had to fight against
the wind, sand, aridity, frost, snow and extreme cold to explore -above
all- to keep their lives.
Silk Road, now became a
three-dimensional transportation network, with a network of highways, crisscrossing
railways and airports. Transportation on the winding highways have reached
the "roof of the world" the Pamir Plateau, into the towering and
precipitous Karakoram Mountains, and across the Tarim and Junggar Basins.
Silk Road has increasingly become an important
channel through which the friendly economic, cultural exchanges between
the people of China and the rest of the world are realized.
