The Silk Road was a term coined by a German, Baron von Richhofen. It was silk, a Chinese invention which captivated the west. Before the discovery of the sea route to India, the Silk road was the most important connection between the east starting from Chang An (now Xian) to the Roman empire in the west.
We traveled from Urumqi -> Turpan -> Dunhuang -> Jiayuguan -> Zhangye -> Wuwei -> Lanzhou.
We did not go to Xian as we have been there. You may refer to my earlier post on Xian.
