Marco Polo did go on The Great Silk Road.
The Silk Road got it's name from the high quality silk that was traded from China during that time period. High quality silk had a very high demand at that time, hence the Silk Road's name.

to protect the travelers traveling on the silk road
A great brand to buy a silk scarf would be an Hermes scarf, that is if you can afford that. You can always go to a department store, such as Bloomingdales, or Macy's and find a great silk scarf to get your friend.
