How Beijing and Constantinople are connected? With the most successful achievement in human history. The Silk Road (丝绸之路) was and is a network of trade routes connecting the East and the West, from around the 100s BC. It froze with the Fall of Constantinople in the 1450s, but its route is still active. It provided economic, cultural, political, and religious interactions between the regions. Either by sea or land, the Silk Road connected East Asia and Southeast Asia with South Asia, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Near East, East Africa & Southern Europe. The roads are many, so I chose only one. An alternative one, if you may. Enjoy!! :)
