Shaxi: The Ancient Tea Horse Road (Yunnan: The China You Never Knew, episode 7)

Come explore the Yunnan town of Shaxi with us. Learn about how the Southern Silk Road and other trade routes enriched tiny little towns across the province in SHAXI: THE ANCIENT TEA HORSE ROAD.
In this episode, Jordan discovers the living legacy of the Tea Horse Road as he explores the Ouyang family home, a lovingly curated house that is as much a 200 year-old museum as it is a home.
Jordan also samples a locally made goat cheese found nowhere else in China, cycles through the countryside, and ends his day listening to a local orchestra play songs dating back hundreds of years - all set inside the most beautiful opera house you've ever seen.
