THE SILK ROAD

More than 2,000 years ago, China began looking for new places in Europe
eit
to sell products such as silk. Different routes opened and these routes were
called the Silk Road. It was a difficult journey and could take six months on
foot. Today, companies such as Hewlett Packard use the New Silk Road to
transport laptops between China and Germany by train and it only takes 13
days! The Old Silk Road is also very popular now with tourists more than 50
million tourists visit Xian, the city at the start of the Old Silk Road, every year.

METROS AROUND THE WORLD
Dubai
The Dubai Metro opened in 2009. Its 76 kilometres long and
es
there are no drivers. The metro goes above ground in many
places, so you can see the city really well. Of course it has air
conditioning (it needs it because the temperature in Dubai can
sometimes be above 40C!).
b
Moscow
If you visit Moscow, go on the Moscow Metro. It opened in 1935
and the stations are very beautiful, with statues and lamps. Eight
million people use it every day so it can get very crowded. There are
police at the stations so its very safe, even at night.
London
ob
The London Underground the Tube was the first underground
(or metro) in the world. It opened in 1863. It now has 270 stations
and you can go nearly everywhere in London. Its not cheap and the
trains are often full, but its unusual because its very deep under c
the ground (50 metres in some places). One station, Hampstead,
has 320 steps!
