The precious heritage remains on the Silk Road are precious heritage of human civilization, and witnessed the interaction of different races, nationalities or countries in the formation and development of silk road. Silk road is not only a historical heritage, but also a contemporary concept. We should understand, understand and resolve the spiritual strength of the relations among different nationalities, cultures and civilizations. It plays a more and more important role in promoting people's affinity, promoting the spirit of Silk Road and promoting the construction of "one belt and one road". The Silk Road photography themed frontier activities cover the geographical features, traditional activities and humanistic feelings along the Silk Road in China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, showing the silk road in a comprehensive and three-dimensional way, so that more people can understand the silk through pictures. The charm of the Silk Road and the cultural exchange of feeling is another joint activity of China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

"Silk Road: Changan Tianshan corridor road network", the cultural heritage of nearly 5000 kilometers, covered 33 sites, showing the friendly exchanges and cultures of all countries along the silk road. The historical testimony of integration shows the attitude of Chinese culture to inclusiveness, openness and cooperation.

We also held an International Photo Exhibition on the Silk Road in Baku today. It truly reflects the important role of the Silk Road in the exchange of ideas, feelings, politics and cultural exchanges from ancient times to the present. Xi'an, as the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, has not only harvested 5 World Heritage sites, but also set up ICOMOS professional organizations such as IICC, which has greatly demonstrated the connotation of Xi'an's cultural heritage. In the future, the Xi'an municipal government will continue to strengthen the protection of cultural heritage, give full play to the role of the Silk Road starting point, and constantly promote the creative transformation and innovative development of cultural heritage resources.
