On Dec 16, a forum standing on promoting culture heritage and bidding for the World Heritage List for the Tea Road of Ten Thousand Miles took place in Qimen county in Anhui province. Authorities at the forum announced Anhui became the ninth province to join in applying for the UNESCO World Heritage status for the Tea Road and Qimen county joined the City Alliance of the Tea Road World Heritage Application. The technical team of applying for the World Heritage status conducted an in-depth investigation for nearly one week on the relevant historical sites in Qimen county, Huangshan in May. And it turned out that the black tea from Qimen represented the vigor of Merchants of Anhui Province and further supported the overall value of the Tea Road of Ten Thousand Miles, according to the forum. The ancient Tea Road, staring from Wuyi Mountain in China, has stretched northward to Jiangxi, Anhui, Hebei, Mongolia and Russia since the late 17th century and emerged as a renowned international culture and tourism spot. This route was also an essential worldwide trade channel, known as the important section of the Belt and Road. (By Li Ruichuan)
