早在16世纪70年代—19世纪初叶,中国和墨西哥之间就存在着一条太平洋丝绸之路。1565年10月,一艘名为“圣巴勃罗”的马尼拉大帆船,满载丝绸、珠宝、瓷器和熏香、麝香、金属制品以及水果、肉食腌腊品等中国货物,转运到墨西哥的阿卡普尔科,进入广阔的美洲大陆。从此,从中国沿海诸岛至马尼拉再至阿卡普尔科的航船年年往来。 As early as the 1770s-early 19th century, there was a Pacific Silk Road between China and Mexico. In October 1565, a Manila galleon named “San Pablo” was loaded with Chinese goods such as silk, jewelery, porcelain and incense, musk, metalware and fruits, carnitine, and meat and transported to Mexico Acapulco, into the vast Americas. Since then, the ships from China’s coastal islands to Manila and then to Acapulco have been going year after year.
