The best mountains to climb in spring, you can rush without thinking...

1. Hangzhou West Lake Longjing Village As the core production area of ​​West Lake Longjing, one of China's top ten famous teas, Longjing Village has become an important cultural landmark in Hangzhou with its tea culture, natural scenery and historical heritage. Geographical location and features Located in the southwest of West Lake, it is surrounded by mountains and has layers of tea fields. The iconic landscape is the "Eighteen Imperial Tea Trees" at the foot of Lion Peak, which is said to have been bestowed by Emperor Qianlong. The tea garden is named after the five major production areas of "Shi (Feng), Long (Jing), Yun (Qi), Hu (Pao), and Mei (Jiawu)", among which the tea quality of Longjing Village ranks first. Tea Culture and Industry Historical inheritance: West Lake Longjing tea originated in the Tang Dynasty, became a tribute tea in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and became famous in the Qing Dynasty because Emperor Qianlong visited it four times. Modern development: In the 2025 "Longjing Tea" event, through the tea offering ceremony and the digital tea garden traceability system display, we will promote the combination of traditional skills and modern technology to enhance the brand value. Tea picking: Mingqian tea (before Qingming Festival) is the best, with an average price of about four to five thousand yuan per catty, and an annual output of about three to four catties per mu. Travel and Experience Recommended attractions: Tea gardens and historical sites: Lao Longjing Imperial Tea Garden, Hu Gong Temple, Jiuxi Shibajian, Shili Langyao, etc., where you can experience tea picking and tea making techniques. Hiking route: We recommend classic routes such as "Longjing Village - Shili Langyao - Yunqi Bamboo Trail", which takes about 3-4 hours and is suitable for photography and nature exploration. Special activities: Spring Tea Picking Festival, tea art performances, tea culture exhibitions, visitors can participate in the tea picking experience and taste authentic Longjing tea. Transportation and accommodation: Bus: Take bus No. 27 or No. 87 to Longjing Teahouse stop; use navigation to Longjing Village parking lot. Accommodation: B&Bs in the village or star-rated hotels around West Lake. Some B&Bs offer special experiences next to the tea garden.
