The Silk Road is a network of trade routes connecting China, the Middle East, and Europe. It played an important role from the official trade between the Han Chinese and the West in 130 BC to the closure of this route by the Ottoman Empire in 1453 AD. The Silk Road not only promoted the circulation of goods from silk to spices, but also promoted extensive exchanges of ideas such as religion and dance, which had a profound impact on the development of civilization. Of particular importance, the Silk Road has played a significant role in cultural exchange, becoming an important channel for the exchange of elements in fields such as art, religion, philosophy, technology, language, science, and architecture.

Nowadays, the area between Xi'an and Kashgar in China has become a tourist hotspot, attracting a large number of tourists to visit many famous sites, such as the Rewak Temple buried deep in the desert, the abandoned city of Turpan, the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, and the Buddhist grottoes in Kucha. The local museum also exhibits numerous tomb artifacts, such as gold and silver vessels and textiles, which blend Eastern and Western patterns and designs, making them exquisite and unparalleled. Thanks to the dry climate of the desert, many ancient books and contracts are still well preserved, with different ancient languages written on them. It is worth mentioning that archaeologists have even discovered buried Chinese dumplings in a tomb in Turpan, revealing the life scenes of people thousands of years ago.
