Question

What made Silk Road hard to travel?

Answer 1

Silk Road, also called Silk Route, ancient trade route, linking China with the West, that carried goods and ideas between the two great civilizations of Rome and China. Silk went westward, and wools, gold, and silver went east. China also received Nestorian Christianity and Buddhism (from India) via the Silk Road.

Answer 2

Mountains, rivers, valleys, deserts and plains all lined the silk road. To trade, they would have to cross these and ensure their products didn't get damaged or lost along the way. If someone fell off of the mountain, their products would go too. If they cross a river, their supplies could get washed away. If they crossed the desert and there was a sandstorm, their supplies were buried.
