Where to go: Meijiawu Tea Plantation, Tanziwan Park (Prince Bay Park)

Meijiawu Tea Plantation
Dragon Well tea or longjing tea is a variety of green tea, and Meijiawu is well known because it’s one of the famous longjing tea plantations. Search longjing tea you’ll know more about the benefits of drinking green tea and how famous longjing tea is, but it’s exceptional to see by yourselves where it grows, hand roasted and processed. It’s worth visiting not only because you’ll know more about chinese tea, see the rows upon rows of tea plants, but also can enjoy wonderful sightseeing and you should have a short hike in the tea mountain. Everywhere there are cement walkways that you can walk on, and you can see some tea leaves pickers in the bushes. It’s just the best season to pick those leaves.
Although enjoying a cup of long jin tea in one of the tea-house is a must do, I suggest you bargain before you buy.
