1.) The Qins annihilating the Xiongnu, roads being built, and the sea being clear of pirates all reduced the risks associated with long distance trade.
2.) Information about China - garbled, shrouded in legend - began to percolate into the Greek-speaking cities of the Seleucids. That set the stage for the silk roads.
3.) Many things were traded on the Silk Road, such as Silk. No only this, but Olive Oil was also a wanted item. This was because of how useful it was, it could be used for cooking, for your skin, etc. Gold, cloths(Made from silk), weapons, ivory, and much more were traded.
