Over 2,000 years ago, Zhang Qian led an expedition to the Western Regions, opening up the Silk Road linking the East and the West. Over 600 years ago, Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Seas, making the Maritime Silk Road unprecedentedly prosperous. Taking a close look at the world map, people will find that the two Silk Roads, like flowing ribbons, weave a colorful bow in Jiangsu and condense into a strong and solid converging point.

This issue of the travel guide (https://tuce.zboec.com/2024/5-6syjs2/) looks back at the journey of Baron Ferdinand von Richthofen, the renowned German geologist and geographer who coined the term "Silk Road," during his travels through Jiangsu approximately 150 years ago.

This issue of the travel guide takes readers through Lianyungang, the "Eastern Bridgehead of the New Eurasian Land Bridge," and Xuzhou, known as the "Athens of the East." It highlights Haizhou City, Lianyun Old Street, Donghai Hot Springs, Donghai Crystal Town, and Dayi Mountain as well as Yunlong Lake, Han Culture Scenic Area, Jiuli Mountain, Jiawang Pan'an Lake - Mazhuang, Fengxian County - Peixian County Han Cultural Tourism Belt, and Old Yellow River Course, capturing the charm of these two key cities at the crossroads of the Belt and Road.

Since the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was launched in 2013, the cultural and tourism industry in Jiangsu has been striving to build bridges of friendship and cooperation based on mutual understanding and mutual benefit. This issue, featuring stunning photos and bilingual texts, reveals a two-way passage that stretches across east and west, connects land and sea, and links Jiangsu with the world. It is helping Jiangsu build itself as a crucial window showcasing the modern-day "Travels of Marco Polo" to the world.
