Today this horse caravan road is almost forgotten and lost to the forest. On the Old China Road 2 Day Trek you will have the chance to retrace the steps of the old traders and capture a taste of what it must have been like to have walked these forested ways a hundred years ago.

The Old China Road 2 day trek is a moderate trek through forest and rice paddies. This has expansive views of the area’s mountains and a stay in a little studded ethnic group called Sida.
