Episode5: Great Tea Road Retracing·Revival

Hannah Carter, an American working in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, is a tea fan who grew up drinking a variety of teas since childhood. In the autumn and winter of 2024, she retraced the Great Tea Road of China, exploring the stories and legends about Chinese tea culture.

When the Great Tea Road was at its peak, there were many tea trade firms along the ancient road, and the largest one is Dashengkui in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.

Erenhot, north of Hohhot, was once a transit station on the Great Tea Road. Now the port has become an entry and exit node for the "Middle Channel" of the China-Europe freight trains.
