No, silk road is very safe. In fact, you'd better make it clear that the silk road is acturally a connection of many cities from Xian to western countries. It is not simply a road. You should bring some medicines with you such as motion sickness pills and antidiarrhead pills. The best time to visit on the silk road is in spring or autumn.
