(231017) -- BEIJING, Oct. 17, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on April 25, 2023 shows a view of the Xi'an Railway Station and the Daming Palace National Heritage Park behind it in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province. About 2,000 years ago, in the Western Han Dynasty (202 B.C.- A.D. 25), a Chinese envoy named Zhang Qian began his expedition to the Western Regions and opened a trade route that later became the Silk Road. In 2014, a joint application by China, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan led to the recognition of "the Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor" as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spanning thousands of miles and thousands of years, the ancient Silk Road was not only a route for trade and barter, but also a route for exchanges between civilizations, making a significant contribution to the development and progress of human society.
