Originating from Chang-an, the route runs through Shangxi Province, Hexi Corridor in Gansu, the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, the Pamir mountain region, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq ,Syria and Turkey, ending at the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. More than 4000 of its 8000 km. were in China. The route of the Silk Road : For over a thousand years up to the 15th century, China brought its silk cloth and goods, china, gunpowder , paper-making and printing techniques to the west via this road . This road, in turn, introduced into China Buddhism and Islam as well as grapes, cucumbers, glass, perfume and other products from the outside world. Because China’s silk reached the west along this road, European scholars came to call it “The Silk Road”.
