Reviving the Glory of the "Ancient Tea Horse Road": Xianning’s Green Brick Tea Goes Global

    Yangloudong Ancient Town: Reviving the "Ancient Tea Horse Road", the Ancient Town Bathed in Spring Breeze

Wanshan Enters Yangloudong, Twin Streams Embrace Phoenix Hill.

Heaven Opens the Pearl Cave at Dawn, Moon Beside Stone Pool in Autumn.

Verdant Colors Grace the Phoenix Trees, Fragrance Drifts from Fragrant Grass.

Climbing High, I Let Out a Loud Cry, As Purple Mist Floats at Dusk.

    This is an enduring masterpiece by Ming Dynasty poet Liao Daoming. The “Yangloudong” mentioned in the poem refers to the ancient town of Yangloudong in Chibi City, long famed as the “Hometown of Brick Tea.”

    It flourished because of the tea route, and faded because of it. Through the tunnel of time, Yangloudong may now be unfamiliar to many, like an ancient well glowing with a faint green light — quiet and profound.

    But once you step inside, you’ll be amazed to discover that beneath its dusty exterior, a thousand-year-old town is being reborn, quietly waiting for people to explore its beauty.

  Upon arriving in Xianning city, drive to Chibi City’s Yangloudong to visit the local Ming and Qing ancient streets.
