Features: This book describes a group of brave Roman merchants who, in 166 AD, with relentless exploration spirit, embarked from Alexandria in search of their dream Silk Road country. They crossed the Red Sea, passed through the Arabian Peninsula, circumvented India, passed through the Malacca Strait, landed in Vietnam, and then took the land route, finally reaching Chang'an (now Xi'an), the capital of the Han Dynasty in China, where gold was abundant, opening up a maritime Silk Road. This is a journey full of adventure, strangeness, and hardship; at the same time, the book also uses a wealth of historical materials to solve the legendary myths that have been passed down for thousands of years, proving that the Chinese people opened the cross-Eurasian land Silk Road that shocked and amazed the world, thus unveiling the mysterious veil covering this vast and prosperous silk kingdom.
