Ancient tea road is to be revived through the Belt and Road Initiative. The Belt and Road Initiative inspired cities to revive another ancient trade route called the Tea Road, first appeared in the 17th century when merchants from China's Shanxi province transported tea products and then other goods from South China to Mongolia and Russia, spanning more than 200 cities and 13,000 km. For three days, the government officials, scholars and leaders of various industries from cities along the route gathered in Pingyao County in Shanxi, to talk about how to revive the trade route and promote cooperation among them. More than 400 representatives hope for further cooperation on the "Tea Road" in different fields at the fifth Mongolia-China-Russia Mayors' Summit. Munkhnasan, the governor of Arkhangai province in Mongolia, said he came to find Chinese partners to invest and provide guidance in developing a tourism project in the province. "China has abundant experience in developing tourism projects and building entertainment facilities such as glass skywalks, all of which can help promote the development of tourism in my hometown," he said. The tripartite cooperation has already boosted solid foundations in different fields. A Mongolia-China-Russia corridor, one of the six corridors in the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, is being pushed forward.
