Discover the marvelous photographic journey with one of the most widely published photographers, Michael Freeman along the historical Tea Horse Trade Route in Yunnan, south of China. From Pu’er to Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La and all the way to Benzilan, LUX* Tea Horse Road China is a collection of retreats located in some of the world’s most off-grid destinations.
