Is the TV show The Litchi Road available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

The Litchi Road (2025) is a tense, atmospheric period drama built on a single, obsessive mission — Li Shande’s desperate push to deliver fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang’an as a birthday gift for the Noble Consort. Brimming with sensory detail (the fruit’s fragrance, the race against the three-day window when lychees lose their flavor) and the looming weight of 5,000 li, the series turns a fruit delivery into an epic test of loyalty, deception and endurance. You’ll meet the Lychee Envoy caught between betrayal and duty, moving through flooded rivers, hostile terrain and court politics that feel as precise and perilous as the ticking days that determine the lychee’s fate. The show’s visual language and pacing lean heavily on that sense of urgency — every mile matters. This article checks where The Litchi Road is streaming — including whether it’s available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+ — and what to expect by region. If the series has picked up festival prizes or awards, those will be listed alongside the streaming info. Read on to find out how and where to watch.

Synopsis

Li Shande, betrayed by colleagues and stripped of his supervisory rank, is demoted to an almost farcical duty: become the imperial “Lychee Envoy” and race a consignment of fresh lychees from the subtropical shores of Lingnan to the distant capital of Chang’an as a birthday gift for the Noble Consort. Folk wisdom says lychees fade in a day, lose their scent in two, and their taste in three—while more than 5,000 li separate sender and recipient. With a punishing schedule, meager resources, and enemies eager to see him fail, Li must navigate hostile terrain, political intrigue, and the limits of logistics to keep the fruit from spoiling and salvage his reputation. Can he turn this absurd mission into a triumph before time runs out?
