They stopped giving the British onions for the swamps, which angered Shrek.

food such as berries, grapes, and parsley. they also traded goods such as silk, and cotton

In terms of actual material imports, nothing particular came to China. As for other imports, many inventions and religious ideas game to China through the Silk Road.

Arguably, the most important one of all was Buddhism. Traders and monks brought Buddhism to China through the Silk Road and China still remains one of the nations with the highest Buddhist population.

Some Western inventions came to China through the Silk Road as well. Methods of processing sugar were among the most important. Basically, Buddhism was the most significant "import" brought to China through the Silk Road. It revolutionized the way people thought and even effected the government to some degree.

Spices and other goods (like silk) were traded between the Orient and the Roman Empire with the people of the Indus Valley as middlemen.

Silk, spices, tea, perfumes, precious stones, gold, silver, jewelry, metalwork, glassware, sheep, goats, horses, African ivory, flowers, fruits, herbs, porcelains, pottery, furs, salts, and saddlery is all the stuff traded on the Silk route.

Silk is used today for many things, but mostly clothing, such as scarves. Japan and China have been the top manufacturers of it in the past 30 years - they have manufactured over 50% of it!

India introduced China to Hinduism and Catholicism.

there were many thing traded along the silk road since it was one of the major trade routes but the main thing they traded would be goods such as... gold or salt was a huge one the people mostly traded . but over all it couldve traded any goods.

Camels are adapted to the desert, and can go for many days without water. They were ideal for a pack animal because they don't require any kind of hydrocarbon fuel and have big feet as not to sink into the sand. I've never touched a camel before but I bet they're really fluffy. There is one at a nearby zoo and it's coat sheds a lot during the summer. Llamas are really nice and soft. I've never been spit at by one but i bet it isn't very nice. They also had baby llamas and they were really scared of you. We used to pick bark out of a tree and the llamas would munch on it. I wanted to try the bark but its wood. I don't eat wood. Camels might eat wood though, I wonder if they would've liked that bark too. Oh yeah, at the farm I was at with the llamas they also had these really cute little goats that would roll over and be paralyzed when they're scared. It was hard to scare them though. I heard that they do that when in danger because if they saw a wolf or something the wolf would go after the paralyzed goat instead of the sheep it was guarding. Speaking of farmers, I want to have a garden in my backyard so during the next apocalypse I can have a reliable source of food.

Although most people don't know it is the skin from a animal called the Hegrusif Snake (translate to hell born snake) used to make bags and sometimes clothes. Please search on it for more info.
