a traveling merchant band shows up to traverse the Silk Road, only now it ends in a vast ocean — merchants usually haven't "traversed" the Silk Road, they just traveled back and forth between "trade posts" on the Silk Road buying and selling goods. Only goods were going all the way through, not the people. Well, except Marco Polo, but he was a weird fellow, and is known exactly for going all the way to the China and back.
