广州是古代海上丝绸之路始发地和枢纽港,拥有丰富的海丝文化遗迹,特别是清朝“十三行”时期,广州的对外贸易独占全国的鳌头,为广州留下了独特的海上丝绸之路文化资源。建设21世纪海上丝绸之路,广州要充分挖掘和利用这些历史文化遗迹,加强与沿线国家的政治、经济、文化交流,促进广州世界商贸之都的建设和世界文化名城的培育。 Guangzhou is the origin and hub of the ancient maritime Silk Road and boasts rich cultural heritage of Hays. Especially during the Qing Dynasty, “13th Line”, Guangzhou’s foreign trade dominated the whole nation, leaving Guangzhou with unique Maritime Silk Road cultural resources. To build the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, Guangzhou should fully tap and utilize these historical and cultural relics, strengthen political, economic and cultural exchanges with other countries along the route, and promote the construction of a world trade capital and a cultural city in the world.
