In the forests of Jingmai Mountain lie the robust remains of the Tea-Horse Road. Stone paths, worn deep by horse hooves, once formed this vital artery of the Yunnan-Xizang tea trade. The hoofprints from horse caravans are embedded in the cracks, where the aroma of tea once traveled over the mountains and far away along this route. Each weathered stone tells the legend of tea and trails from bygone days.
