Merchants travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices (香料), cloth, jewels and gold.

Along and around these ancient path(小路), have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.

Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners (俘虜) of war almost 2800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.
