The Silk Road(丝绸之路) is a very important way between China and the Mediterranean. It starts in the Western Han Dynasty and it's been a bridge between the East and the West for over 2,000 years.
The ancient road starts from Chang'an (now Xi'an) and ends in Eastern Europe near the Mediterranean Sea. It is about 6,500 kilometers(千米) long and goes across 1/4 of the world.
The Silk Road gets its name because Chinese carry silk to the west along this road centuries ago. Silk and iron go west to Rome. And from the west come glass and food like carrots.
