[quote=LEOPOLD219,254303]Recently, a hot argument was triggered by a school of scholars and local government’s officials in Luoyang Henan Province. Some local officials stated that Luoyang was the starting point of the Ancient Silk Road, which contradicts the present acknowledged fact that Xi’an is the starting point of the Silk Road. In China, culture (including historical and cultural heritage) has played an important role in developing economy, particularly in developing local tourism. Hence, the motive for triggering the argument on the starting point of the Silk Road is really questionable and doubtful. What do you think of this issue? Or have you read any reports or books about the starting point of the Silk Road? Any opinions on this topic are welcome. [/quote]
