The Ancient Tea Horse Road is an international trade channel with horse caravans as the main means of transportation. It is an ancient post road with the most spectacular natural scenery and the most mysterious culture in the world.
This book is a non-fiction collection that panoramically reproduces the historical features of the Ancient Tea Horse Road (Sichuan-Tibet Line). As a senior journalist and travel writer, Li Guiping connected "pearls" such as caravans, porters, post towns, mutual markets, inns, architecture, pack animals, folk songs, love, toast, self-defense, ancient battlefields, and tea-protecting battles through fieldwork, character interviews, and literature study, forming a beautiful historical and cultural picture.
The work integrates storytelling, historical materials, and ideas. The calm narrative contains strong tension like magma in a deep cave, and also presents clear geographical elements. This book is also a highly practical travel guide for the Tea Horse Road.
