In Xi'an, home to China's Terracotta Warriors, the camel caravans of the ancient Silk Road have been replaced by "steel caravans." Goods from Xi'an now travel via the China-Europe Railway to cities across Asia and Europe. 

The China-Europe Railway Express now reaches 229 cities across 26 European countries and over 100 cities in 11 Asian nations, creating a resilient and far-reaching international logistics system.

CGTN's series Path to Prosperity takes you there.
