Live: Discover China's Silk Road legacy at the National Silk Museum

The annual Silk Road Week at the China National Silk Museum June 19-24 provides a platform for professionals to share their latest Silk Road research and stories. As the nation's leading silk history organization, the museum promotes cultural exchange along the historic trade route, which had a portion – the Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor – inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. The exhibition showcases the political, economic and cultural significance of Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) through the display of cultural artifacts.
