Experiencing the Silk Road

Our annual study tour finally came. When Ms.Wang informed us that we were going to experience the Silk Road this time, everybody in our class clapped his or her hands excitedly with great joy.

I am very interested in history and the Silk Road has always fascinated me. Travelling by train with my classmates, I surfed the Internet about the history of the Silk Road whose route begins at Chang’annow Xian reaching to Dunhuang, Gansu province in China. The road is not only an ancient international trade route, but alsoa splendid cultural bridge.

After a few hours, we arrived at Xi an. Our first stop was Dayan Pagoda, the landmark of Xi’an. From our tour guide, we learnt a lot about the history of Dayan Pagoda and the great monk, Xuanzang, who once lived there after returning from India. Then we went on to Gansu province and visited the Mogao Caves. Impressed by the grand construction, we took many photos. The tour guide introduced the wall paintings to us in great detail. With curiosity, we listened attentively, asking questions and taking notes.

The journey soon drew to its close. When I sat at my desk looking back on this great experience. I found that this trip wasn’t just a scenic journey. It helped me understand the history of the area and see how people from different places influenced each other in many ways. I feel proud of this ancient road!
