Xi’an, The Gulf Observer: An exhibition celebrating the 10th anniversary of the UNESCO listing of the Silk Road starting from Chang’an was unveiled as part of International Museum Day at the Shaanxi History Museum (SHM) in Xi’an, according to reports of the Kazakh Ministry of Information.

In 2014, China, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan jointly applied for the recognition of “The Silk Road: The Routes Network of Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor” as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
