Features: A caravan city that vanished on the distant horizon suddenly comes back to life in Hainan's new novel "Caravan City." This city, echoing with the sound of horse bells, hooves, the roars of men, and the screams of women, moves towards us. Hainan tells the story with unprecedented courage, bringing to life the vibrant caravans active in the western world. From the 19th century, a family of caravan traders flashes before our eyes, crossing the perilous cliffs of the Jinsha River and the vast gorges of the Lancang River, from the frigid wilderness of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the uncertain future of India. This is a distant caravan path, where love, intrigue, loyalty, and mythology exist in this caravan city.
