In response to the overwhelming enthusiasm for the exhibition,three additional guided tours were arranged during its run. Professors from Samarkand Institute of Foreign Languages,Samarkand Silk Road University,and Samarkand International University of Technology led their students through the exhibition,offering them an opportunity to experience the profound resonance of Silk Road artistic and cultural heritage.

Historically,Samarkand,known as the Kingdom of Kang,played a vital role in the Silk Road trade during the Tang Dynasty under Emperor Gaozong. This exhibition highlights two cultural relics from the China National Silk Museum's collection: Pattern of Winged Horse and Pattern of Floral Medallions with Standing Lions. These exquisite textiles not only exemplify the exceptional craftsmanship of Tang-era silk weaving but also vividly evoke the cultural integration along the historic Silk Road. Serving as a wellspring of inspiration for modern design innovation,they deeply embody the harmonious coexistence of cultural heritage preservation and artistic reinvention.

Running until September 15,2025,the exhibition strengthens the cultural ties between Hangzhou and Samarkand and highlights the shared vision of both cities in the fields of art exhibitions,cultural heritage preservation,and cross-cultural collaboration,adding a new chapter to the enduring friendship and cooperation between China and Uzbekistan.
