The Silk Road essentially came into being from the 1st century BC, following these efforts by China to consolidate a road to the Western world and India, both through direct settlements in the area of the Tarim Basin and diplomatic relations with the countries of the Dayuan, Parthians and Bactrians further west.
A maritime Silk Route opened up between Chinese-controlled Jiaozhi (centred in modern Vietnam [see map above], near Hanoi) probably by the 1st century.
I am still travelling this great road, on to my journey to Great India. I will not give up. I will survive. This is my goal, my wish, my dream, i want to fulfill.
