The routes
For centuries，the Silk Road was the most important time of communication connecting modern day Xi'an with the Middle East and Europe，today one area in particular is associated most closely with the name of the Silk Road．This area is Xinjiang in Northwest China，through which two major routes of the Silk Road passed on the northern and southern side of the Taklamakan desert．
The name
The Silk Road got its name in the 19^th century when a German geographer identified it as the route through which the Romans got their silk from China．However，silk wasn't the only thing that passed along the Silk Road；anything that had buyers was traded along the road．Goods were traded from market to market passing through many hands before they reached their final destinations．

The Silk Road was not just the route through which goods were carried．It was also important for the exchange of ideas．Buddhism from India entered China along the Silk Road and had a huge influence on Chinese culture．Greek art styles were popular along the Silk Road and gave Buddhist statues in Northern India classical Western faces．These styles from Northerm India were also found in Xinjiang．
The people
One of China's famous monks，Xuan Zang，followed the Silk Road in the 6^th century to collect Buddhist scriptures from India．Around 600years later，one of Europe's famous travellers，MarcoPolo，entered China along the Silk Road．Both Xuan Zang and Marco Polo left detailed records of their journeys along the Silk Road．
The Silk Road today
Today，the Xinjiang Autonomous Region remains an international crossroad where traders from surrounding countries，and tourists from all over the world regularly meet．Trade in precious stones，food，drinks，crafts，art，and of course，silk，contimues，too．
