Tea Horse Ancient Trail: Three Trees

This place is commonly known as "Three Trees," located on one side of the Malingshan Canyon. The standalone main building and scattered courtyards seem to be a homestay hotel, which is still under construction. Surprisingly, a stone tablet inscribed with "Tea Horse Ancient Trail" has been added! The Tea Horse Ancient Trail was a route used for trading tea with horses since the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty until the Republic of China era, and is part of the Southern Silk Road. Within this province, there is "Tea Horse Town" (formerly known as "Horse Farm Village"), which might also be a section of the Tea Horse Ancient Trail, right? The Malingshan River Bridge of the expressway opposite reflects the ancient and modern times, presenting an interesting contrast.
