Stretching across Yunnan, Tibet, and into the Himalayas, the heart of Delamu is the "Tea Horse Road" (). One of the oldest caravan routes in Asia, the film documents one such caravan as it transfers raw material to a modern construction site.
As Tian travels with the caravan, he interviews people who have lived along the road for decades, including a priest who was thought to have disappeared during the Cultural Revolution, a 104-year-old woman, and a mule driver who owns the titular Delamu.
