Ancient Tea-horse Road - Chinese Red

Winding through the lofty ridges and towering mountains in southwest China, there lies a rugged and dangerous ancient road which was treaded out by caravans and porters. For more than a thousand years, tea produced in Yunnan and Sichuan was shipped to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau while Tibetan horses, animal hides and other native produce were shipped to the hinterland all through this road - this is the mysterious Ancient Tea-Horse Road. Through texts and pictures, the book explores the development process of the ancient road, introduces the posts and ethnic customs of the native people, and presents the magnificent landscape and beautiful scenery along this ancient road. Indeed it is our sincere hope that the book will help the reader unravel the mystery of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
