My dad is very interested in history and the Silk Road has always fascinated (使……着迷) him. He has told me many things about it. It's called the Silk Road, but people traded much more than silk. The Silk Road went through Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe. It was 6,500 km from Xi'an to Rome and it played an important part in the development of the world. My family got away for a holiday last summer and went to some famous places along the original (最先的) road.
We started in 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. It's now a modern city, but you can get a sense of history when you visit it.
The next stop was Jiayuguan. It is on the edge (边缘) of 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 out 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.
Finally, we arrived in Dunhuang, a city with a long history and great artworks. It was influenced (影响) by many different cultures over time. Now, it's a famous place of interest in North - western China.
This trip wasn't just about sight - seeing. I hope to take such trips every summer with my parents.
