Chinese Trade and Transportation

By: Aidan Mirchandani And Gabriel Scopaz

GoodsMerchants were delighted

to trade along the Silk Road so that they could

be rich one day. Merchant’s hopes for

money were very high because other traders

could purchase for: bamboo, china, tea, salt, sugar and silk. Oh joy! Oh

joy! OH JOY!!!!!!!!!

MerchantsWithout them other

purchasers would come home empty handed and unhappy. Why? Because merchants are the ones who deliver the goods.

Understand? 

CamelsCamels are the

transportation for merchants everywhere

traveling of the Silk Road. Merchant would be

restless without them. Camels have a lot of

strength because they have a hump on their back that keep all the food and water in for a

very long period of time. So heads up

camels!!!!!!!!!!

CanalsCanals are making trade

and transport much easier in China. The Grand Canal

is 1,100 miles long. It connected The Yellow River and The Yangzi

River. This is the world’s largest canal.

NavigationThe compass was a huge invention when it came to traveling on boat. Before

the compass was invented, people had a

slim chance of ending up where they wanted to be. Even today, people still

use compasses.
