The Ancient Tea and Horse Trail connects Yunan & Sichuan to Tibet. Bands of horses travelled through the difficult terrain, bringing tea from Yunan to Tibet, and horses from Tibet to Yunan.
Nowadays, many parts of the trail have been modernized, highways have replaced horse trails, but the area is still stunning, certain areas still isolated, and cutures of ethnic minorities definitely still thriving.

Hieroglyph/ Pictograph of the Naxi People
A written language of the Naxi People still used in religious ceremonies. Thought the museum's comparison with Egyptian Hieroglyphs is interesting. This is for Dora.
