The Tea and Horse Road of Southwest China, aka the " Silk Road of Southwest China" – but called Chamagudao in Chinese (cha-ma-gu-dao = Tea-Horse-Ancient-Road) – is an old trade route that stretched east to west and south to north across southwest China. This ancient trade routes eventually came to be renowned for the two main commodities for which the routes were named: tea and horses, though there were other important commodities such as sugar and salt – but curiously, not silk – that were traded along these routes. Our own Tea Horse Road adventure began in the township of Pu'er, approximately 400 kilometers south of Kunming. The excursion passed through some of the mountains and steep valleys that are signatures of the Yunnan landscape. Eventually, the corn and wheat along the roadside gave way to bananas, rubber and, eventually, tea.

Obviously, Pu'er is known for its famous tea and the tea-growing areas around it. Therefore, any visit to the city wouldn't be complete without a stop here at the Pu'er Tea Museum. We wanted to learn more about this important commodity, so this museum provided us with the answers. We learned about the various local ethnic groups and their relationships with tea, the history of the local area and the Tea Horse Road and also about the process of making the teas. We went here in the morning and admission was free. The staff were also very nice and polite. Getting here is easy by taxi or private car, although it was basically next to our hotel anyway. It's definitely best to come here and learn about the history before visiting a plantation or the Tea Horse Road, as it definitely adds a perspective on everything and enbables you to better understand everything. A good little gem to visit! 🍵🍵😋 #tripblazers #yunnan #tea #tigeryear2022

The ancient town at Tea Horse Road is relatively easy to get to by taxi or private car, as Pu'er is a small place and this is easy to find. Arriving here, we took a nice stroll along the canal and through the scenic old town area, stopping for iced coffee and lunch also. Prices are not expensive here, even though this is considered a tourist site. The buildings were great to look at, as well as the old ancient walls that are built around the old town. We came just before Chinese New Year, therefore the place wasn't that busy, especially in the afternoon we visited. If you are in Pu'er, then it's definitely a place to visit along with the tea museum and seeing a plantation. You should go to the tea museum first and learn about the history of this place before visiting, as it enables you to appreciate the historical perspective of this place. 🍵👘😋 #tripblazers #tea #yunnan #tigeryear2022

Winter Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom Wa Drums Beating ——Intangible Cultural Heritage Ancestral Worship Performance at the Pu'er Tea Expo Garden In Pu'er, I visited several places, and the natural scenery and intangible cultural heritage performances at the "China Pu'er Tea Expo Garden" amazed me, especially the pink winter cherry blossoms in full bloom in the tea garden, which were very attractive. The drum performers were deeply immersed in their performance, and they were very dedicated! I admire them! I still savor the experience after returning to the hotel. The only regret is that the scenic area bus is a bit of a show. The tour area is at the first bus stop and the first parking lot, just a ten-minute walk away. This can't be blamed on them, as almost all scenic areas are deepening the reform of scenic area buses.

A Dreamy Journey Under the Stars I spent a wonderful night at Yixiang Mountain Campground. When night fell, the starry sky was so bright and beautiful that it seemed within reach. The campground is located far away from the city, so there is no light pollution and the view is wide open, which makes it a perfect place for stargazing. The stargazing equipment at the campground is professional and advanced, and the staff patiently guided us on how to use it, so we could observe the vast starry sky more clearly. Lying on the lawn, feeling the breeze, I felt like I was in the arms of the universe. The campground is very quiet at night, with no noise from the city, only the sound of insects and the wind. This tranquility allowed us to focus more on the starry sky and immerse ourselves in this mysterious and beautiful world. In addition to stargazing, the atmosphere at the campground is also very warm. Mr. Long Zhongliang from Xingji Astronomy enthusiastically explained astronomy knowledge to us and shared interesting stories, making the whole stargazing experience more vivid. This stargazing experience at Yixiang Mountain Campground left a deep impression on me. Whether it was the beauty of the starry sky or the atmosphere of the campground, I felt very comfortable and satisfied. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Title: Pu'er, a Magical Land In the southwestern border of Yunnan Province, there is a land embraced by a green ocean - Pu'er. It is not only the hometown of tea, but also a symphony of nature and culture. Pu'er tea, a name that carries thousands of years of history and culture, is like an elder who has experienced vicissitudes but is still as gentle as jade, quietly telling the stories of this land. Walking into Pu'er is like walking into a vivid landscape painting. Surrounded by mountains, tea trees stand tall and elegant, with a faint fragrance of green leaves, which is the most primitive breath of nature. The sunshine here is warm and bright, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, making people feel relaxed and happy. Pu'er is not only a tea-producing area, but also a place where multiple cultures converge. The Hani, Yi, Dai and other ethnic groups have been living here for generations, and their languages, customs and arts are deeply imprinted on this land. When night falls, the bonfire is accompanied by the melodious sound of ethnic musical instruments, which are songs of praise for life. Pu'er tea has a long history of cultivation, which can be traced back to more than 1,700 years ago. It is not only a drink, but also an art of life. From picking, fixing, rolling to drying, every step is full of the wisdom and sweat of tea makers. When a cup of Pu'er slowly unfolds in your hand, the heavy sense of history flows into your heart. The charm of Pu'er tea lies not only in its aroma and taste, but also in its cultural significance. It is not only a business card of Yunnan, but also an important part of Chinese civilization. Tasting a sip of Pu'er is like tasting a piece of history and feeling a culture, which is a beauty that cannot be fully expressed in words. Pu'er, this magical land, not only nurtures Pu'er tea, but also nurtures countless hearts that love life and pursue the beauty of nature. Here, you can feel the gentleness of nature, hear the echoes of history, and taste the depth of culture. This is Pu'er, a place where the soul can be purified and the spirit can be sublimated.

📍Address: Pu'er Sun River National Park is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, only 40 km from the city center. Public transportation is not convenient, so we recommend taking a taxi or renting a car. Car rental costs about CNY 400 per day. 👍Recommended: Animal watching: The park has a variety of animals to watch, including white-cheeked gibbons, red pandas, hippos, slow lorises, macaques, black bears, sika deer, Chinese giant salamanders, peacocks, and red-crowned cranes. We especially recommend watching the red pandas and gibbons. Time: We recommend spending 2–2.5 hours in the park. You can buy a ticket package with electric cars at both ends to save energy. Dining: Food in the park is expensive, so we recommend bringing your own food. Do not feed the animals. 🌟Highlights: Rhino Square: There are many wild animals here, including rhinos and red pandas. Visitors can enter and exit the park as many times as they like and enjoy the convenience of electric cars! Subtropical rainforest: The park has many unique rainforest landscapes, such as the "hanging garden," "strangler fig," and "cauliflory," which are very beautiful!

🎫Tickets: CNY 100/person, round-trip electric car: CNY 50 🌟Highlights: A rare opportunity to get up close and personal with red pandas. A combination of a forest park and a zoo, you can interact with a variety of animals. 👍Recommended: Red Panda Park: The red pandas here are gentle. If you wait patiently, you may encounter many red pandas! They love bamboo and apples. Other animal parks: In addition to red pandas, there are rhinos, macaques, gibbons, call ducks, owls, and more. Bird Park: There are many young birds here that were picked up and raised because their mothers thought they couldn't survive. Most of them are young birds without mothers. 🍽Dining recommendations: Red Panda Restaurant: Near the Phase II accommodation area, the restaurant offers beautiful views. Although the food is not amazing, it is acceptable for a scenic area. Red pandas may even visit during breakfast!

China Puer Tea Expo Garden is located in Yingpan Mountain, Yixiang Town, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, about 29 km from downtown Pu'er. China Puer Tea Expo Garden is a 3A-level tourist attraction. There is a 10,000-mu ecological tea garden in the park. Each person needs to buy a ticket for CNY 40 to enter. If you want to take the battery car in the scenic area, you need to pay an additional CNY 50 per person. The staff said that there is a 6-km mountain road, so we chose to take the battery car in the scenic area. After visiting two viewing points, we returned to the starting point. Practice has proved that it is not cost-effective to take the battery car in the scenic area, as there is no good scenery and the mountain road is not that far. Maybe it is not the right season, and the weather is not very good, the scenery we saw is quite different from what we imagined.
