(2019) Through China's distant mountains and deep, cavernous valleys, these merchants and their horse caravans have carved a path that has become a vital cultural and economic trade and commerce route.

From the far reaches of the western Chinese plains and distant Tibet, to the heart of the Middle Kingdom's central plains, follow in the cultural footsteps of these horse caravans, along the Tea-Horse Silk Road.
