The Silk Road is an international channel with profound historical significance. In a broad sense, the Silk Road refers to long-distance commercial trade and cultural communication routes that have been formed since ancient times and cover the Eurasian continent and even Africa. The Silk Road promoted economic and cultural communication between the East and the West, connected several major civilization circles in the world, such as East Asia, Central Asia, India, West Asia, and the Mediterranean, and had great significance in promoting progress of world civilization and human society.

Thanks to natural and historical reasons, the Silk Road, which has lasted for thousands of years, has accumulated abundant tourism resources. There are plentiful cultural sites along the Silk Road, among which historic sites in China and Uzbekistan are particularly rich. They are widely distributed and have high social and economic significance, thus becoming a precious historical legacy of modern Silk Road.
