This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, a transformative project connecting continents through trade and cultural exchange. Joining CGTN's Tian Wei, we embark on a journey to Xinjiang, often hailed as the heart of the ancient Silk Road.
In Xinjiang, tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously. Tian Wei meets local artisans who preserve age-old crafts, while also engaging with young entrepreneurs driving technological innovation. Through their extraordinary stories, we gain insight into the region's rich cultural tapestry and its dynamic evolution.
The music of Xinjiang resonates with the rhythms of its diverse communities, reflecting a blend of heritage and contemporary influences. Historical landmarks stand alongside new developments, symbolizing the region's ongoing transformation at this crossroads of civilization.
As the Belt and Road Initiative celebrates its milestone, Xinjiang continues to play a pivotal role in fostering connections and driving progress, embodying the spirit of collaboration and growth that defines this global endeavor.
