- Commodity name: Tea Horse Road Entrance Ticket
The Ailao Mountain Tea Horse Ancient Trail, historically known as the Yinan Avenue, dates back to the Tang Dynasty, was officially established during the Yuan Dynasty, flourished throughout the Ming and Qing periods, and began its decline during the Republic of China era. With a history spanning over 1,500 years, this ancient route stretches from Simao (modern-day Pu'er), traversing towering mountains and rugged terrain, winding through vast primeval forests, crossing rivers and streams, and ultimately leading to Kunming. At the time, it served as one of the vital trade routes connecting southwestern Yunnan with inland China—and was also an essential segment of the "Southern Silk Road." Within the scenic area, a well-preserved section of the Tea Horse Ancient Trail spans approximately 8 kilometers. This section was designated as a county-level and then a city-level cultural relic protection site in 2005 and 2013, respectively. Today, visitors can still explore remnants such as the "Horse-Stepping Stone," "Qianjiazhai" village, and the "Iron Smelting Furnace"—all testaments to the trail's once-thriving commerce and rich cultural heritage. These historic sites not only highlight the prosperity of the Tea Horse Trade but also inspire countless legendary tales and folk songs passed down through generations among the mountain villages surrounding the Ailao Mountains.
