Features: This book describes a group of brave Roman merchants who, in 166 AD, with relentless exploration spirit, set out 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 unravel the myths and legends that have been passed down through the ages, proving that the Chinese people pioneered the awe-inspiring and astonishing land Silk Road across Eurasia, thus unveiling the mysterious veil covering the vast and prosperous silk kingdom.
