Maritime Silk Road
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Maritime Silk Road——the oldest sea route in history.
As one of the ancient civilizations, China is a country with enormous land area as well as having long sea coastlines. From south to north, the coastline of Mainland China runs for more than 18,000 km.In addition, there are coastlines of the offshore islands, making the total coastline of China more than 32,000 km that stretches across temperate, sub-tropical and tropical climatic zones.
The coastal areas of China are important cradles of ancient maritime civilizations of the East. As early as prehistoric times, people living in these areas were persistent in creativity and innovations while accruing valuable experiences, resulting in improved navigation capabilities in water. They planed simple boats and then built ships, eventually learning to take advantage of astronomy and ocean currents, and mastering the ways of maritime navigation. They were able to sail far across the oceans and establish contact with Southeast and Northeast Asia , creating many unexplainable miracles which made later people gasp in admiration.
