How many days does it take the travel the silk road?

Answer 1

Although the term the Silk Road implies a continuous journey, very few who traveled the route traversed it from end to end. The "Silk Road" is not a single road. Thus the querstion can not be answered as asked. If you were asking about a particular "silk road" then the question would have to be answered, By what method of transportation is one "traveling" along the "silk road"? If you are walking, obviously, that is slower than by bicycle, and if you are traveling the silk road by bicycle, that is slower than by motorbike. When last in China, we traveled the southern most route of the silk road through southern China, by many different contraptions including raggidy busses. That journey took us about a week to complete. But we did do sight seeing along the way. Extending over 8,000 km (5,000 miles). Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizatins of China India, Egypt, Persia (or Irac) Arabia and Rome, and helped lay the foundations for our modern world.
