In ancient times, Hetian was the traffic hinge of the old Silk Road and was renowned as one of the three silk cities of Xinjiang. Between 200 BC and 100 BC, the silk trade here was very prosperous. The highly prosperous period is from the Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) to the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD). Silk was transported from here to Middle Asia, Middle East and Mediterranean countries.
