The Tea Road is another international trade route that emerged on the East Asian continent after the decline of the Silk Road. It starts from Chong'an, Fujian, China (now Wuyishan City), passes through Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Shanxi, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, enters the current Mongolian territory from Yilin (now Erlianhot), reaches Kyakhta, a trading port on the Sino-Russian border, through Kulun (now Ulaanbaatar), and then passes through dozens of cities such as Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Moscow, and St. Petersburg, and finally reaches St. Petersburg. The total length is more than 13,000 kilometers. This is a trade route connecting China, Mongolia, Russia, and the Eurasian continent, and it is also a road of national unity, ethnic integration, and civilization inheritance.
