Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Is this crazy? 50 horses to haul tea leaves-The Malay Mail IN yet another event to add to the festivities of the 50th National Day celebrations, a caravan of 50 horses will cart 50 tonnes of tea leaves overland from Yunnan, China, to Terengganu and make its way to Kuala Lumpur. The two-month journey, which will pass through several Asean countries, begins in September and is scheduled to reach the capital in November, said organising committee chairman Datuk Abdul Aziz Singah. " In the old days, horses were used to carry tea leaves overland to every nook and corner in China and we hope to relive the history, " he told a Press conference in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. Dubbed as the Tea and Horse Caravan Road, the event is organised by Tea & Horse Caravan Sdn Bhd with the cooperation of the Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel. The 50 horses in the caravan represent the 50 years of Malaysia's independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
