The Gobi Desert which is north of the Taklamakan desert
The eastern Silk road passed Luoyang, Chang'an, Dunhuang, Kucha, Kashgar, Taklimakan Desert, Gobi Desert, and the Pamir mountains
The Silk Road went through the Taklamakan Desert.
The Silk Road avoids the Chagatai Khanate, the Gobi Desert, the Himalayas, and the Caspian Sea.
Virtually no effect except for transport through the Gobi desert, ever since the discovery by other nations in how to produce silk, porcelain and tea the silk road became practically useless, not to mention the rise of sea trade.
In ancient China the Chinese commissioned the construction of imperial outposts on the silk road, these outposts provided protection, supplies and shelter from the adverse weather of the Gobi Desert.
The eastern silk road is mostly desert and the western silk road is mostly mountains
The Taklamakan Desert which located in Mongol
The two major deserts in China are the Gobi Desert and the Taklamakan Desert. Both occur in northwestern China and the Gobi is on the border with Mongolia. Both are considered as cold winter deserts. The summers can get quite hot but winter temperatures are bitterly cold, sometimes dropping to -40 degrees F.

It depends on the desert. I know that the Gobi desert is sometimes not possible to traverse through because of the violent sand storms. During ancient times on the silk road, travelers on foot would have to stop in the middle of their tracks, throw a blanket over their body and lie down in the fetal position on their side for hours to make it alive.
