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.
