Story

The historic Ten-Thousand-Li Tea Road linked Wuyi Mountain with northern China, Mongolia, Russia, Central Asia and Europe over a route of roughly 13,000 kilometres. This article introduces a television project in which three performers retraced parts of that road. Their journey brought public attention to a trading route that carried not only tea, but also technology, customs and cultural exchange.
