  • We have finally marked off one of our top bucket list items in China, hiking the Tiger Leaping Gorge or 虎跳峡 in Yunnan, China! It was such an incredible experience hiking it, especially since it was only us and a few other people (we basically had the full gorge to ourselves!).
    This is our first day on our hike, join us next week as we share our second day hiking, were things got a little scary.

    The Tea Horse Road or chamadao (simplified Chinese: 茶马道; traditional Chinese: 茶馬道), now generally referred to as the Ancient Tea Horse Road or chamagudao (simplified Chinese: 茶马古道; traditional Chinese: 茶馬古道) was a network of caravan paths winding through the mountains of Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet in Southwest China.[1] This was also a tea trade route. It is also sometimes referred to as the Southern Silk Road or Southwest Silk Road.
