Features: A series of mysterious post towns, like pearls strung together by ancient roads, are etched with stories that have been passed down through generations: the deep hoof prints on the stone pavement, which are not just a path but a culture, or more precisely, another version of sociological and anthropological symbols. The once proud and fulfilling post masters have vanished into the flow of history, and now even long-haul truck drivers are fading from our lives. So who, then, can guide us to chase after their footsteps? Only the faint sound of hooves and the jingle of horse bells echo in our minds, resonating deep in our memories, as if a caravan connecting the interior of China with Central and South Asia is heading toward the depths of history under the setting sun.
