Horse caravan plays pivotal role in conveying materials to hills in China's Jiangxi

Yu Yulin, head of a horse caravan, soothes a mule in Xingguo County of east China's Jiangxi Province, Aug. 16, 2019. Yu's horse caravan shouldered responsibility recently to convey basic building materials in Xingguo to a collapse site of a pipeline project bringing natural gas from west to the east in the country. The conveying group is made up of 10 people and 22 horses and mules. They play a pivotal role in the job as they conveyed these materials to the hills where modern machinery can not reach.
