The road from Bingzhongluo into Tibet is part of the route known as "Tea Horse Route". In the old days, Tibetans routinely operated mule and horse caravans on arduous long journeys from here to Lhasa, and beyond, to Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim and India. Tea was the main commodity carried on such caravans. These caravan routes became vital arteries for cultural, economic and religious exchange between Tibet and South Asia as the tea trade flourish; just as the Silk Road was, connecting China and Europe.
