(231017) -- BEIJING, Oct. 17, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on April 21, 2017 shows the ruins of an old palace of the ancient city of Han (202 B.C.- A.D. 220) and Wei (220-265) dynasties in Luoyang, central China's Henan 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.
