چکیده مقاله

The Silk Road, an extensive trade network linking China and the Mediterranean, significantly influenced the development of civilizations, particularly in Iran and China. Beyond economic exchange, it served as a conduit for cultural, religious, and technological transmission. This paper explores the enduring legacy of the Silk Road and its impact on heritage tourism between China and Iran. By examining key historical sites , the study highlights how these landmarks foster cross-cultural exchange and tourism-driven economic growth. Both countries are now leveraging these heritage sites to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties through tourism. However, challenges remain in infrastructure, accessibility, and site preservation. Addressing these issues would further enhance tourism potential, solidifying the Silk Road’s modern role as a bridge between East and West. The paper underscores the importance of bilateral efforts in promoting heritage tourism, which not only preserves the historical significance of the Silk Road but also fosters greater cultural understanding between China and Iran.
