"Around 2,000 years ago, there was a road connecting Rome in the west and Chang'an in the east, a route for the exchange of Eastern and Western civilizations. This road, which would later be called the Silk Road, also connected the oases scattered throughout the desert. The oases were a paradise in the desert, a place of rest and longing for caravans. Cultural artifacts from the East and West were exchanged here, with silk and ceramics being carried west, and glassware, religion, and patterns being carried east."
