What Caused the decline of the Silk Road? The Heyday of The Silk Road Initially, traders on the Silk Road brought Chinese silk to western areas. Then, when the Silk Road grew stronger, the Silk Route by Sea started. During the Tang Dynasty, more merchants started doing business on the Silk Road and the Silk Route by Sea. The trade of the Silk Road reached to its peak during the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, empires sent diplomatic missions to establish diplomatic relations with each other.
The Silk Road was a trade route that went from China to Eastern Europe. It went along the northern borders of China, India, and Persia and ended up in Eastern Europe near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. Not all that was traded along the Silk Road was good. 2  It is thought that the bubonic plague, or Black Death, traveled to Europe from the Silk Road. 3  Very few merchants traveled along the entire route. 4  Goods were traded at many cities and trade posts along the way.
