China Daily 中国日报 From ancient Silk Road to the BRI: witnessing a millennia-long civilizational symphony with Yuanxi

A wooden slip. A lone post station. An ancient road. Amid the echoes of camel bells, a thousand years flow across the desert. From Dunhuang to Chang’an, relay stations dotted the route and merchants gathered from afar. The ancient Silk Road carried not only goods and wealth, but also trust, culture, and friendship. Civilizations thrive through exchange and grow through mutual learning.

Today, the ancient Silk Road extends in new ways, continuing a story of openness, inclusiveness, and shared prosperity. Walk with #Yuanxi, pick up the wooden slip that records time. Follow the traces of history and journey once more along this millennia-old road. #CulturalJourney #ChineseCulture
