My dad is very interested in history and the Silk Road has always fascinated him.He has told me many things about it.Although it's called the Silk Road,people traded much more than① silk.The Silk Road went through② Asia,the Middle East,North Africa and Europe.It was 6,500 km from Xi'an to Rome and it played an important role in③ the development of the world.My family got away for a holiday last summer and went to some famous places along the original road.
We started at④ Lanzhou and went on to Wuwei.Wuwei was a very important city on the Silk Road.It connected three main cities in the area.In ancient times,it was also a capital.Although it's now a modern city,you can get a sense of history⑤ when you visit it.We saw lots of very old stone monuments and people there were very proud of⑥ their city's long history.
The next stop was Jiayuguan.It's on the edge of⑦ the desert,and was an important place on the Silk Road.It was a busy city with a lot of people coming and going.Even today,it's a city that many business people travel through.An important part of the Great Wall was also built here.
After that,we went on to Yumenguan.I first found out⑧ about Yumenguan in the famous poem written by Wang Zhihuan.It was in the Gobi Desert and was the only connection between Central Asia and China.I wonder how people ever made it through the hot desert so long ago
