Pioneered over 2,000years ago, the Silk Roads started at Chang'an, capital of the Western Han Dynasty, stretched through Hexi Corridor; the Pamirs, Central Asia and Western Asia, and eventually reached Africa and Europe. Over the sweep of history, the Silk Roads served as an artery of transportation, cultural exchange and trade contact between East and West, bearing the spirit of peace, cooperation, openness, inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit.
