Tea town offers more than the aromatic beverage
Updated: 2016-04-06
The tea culture has grown well above the tea gardens in the town of Jinjing, Changsha county.
The town of tea is now more than a tea planting and processing base as it has introduced ideas of rural tourism to better promote its tea products. Visitors to the town are able to experience tea-leaves picking, tea making and tasting along with many tea related activities.
Zhou Yu, the general manager of Hunan Jinjing Tea Company, said, "We had built a tea culture park at the end of 2015. And an average of 500 visitors, arrive daily for an outing on weekends since the opening of spring tea season this March."
In Jinjing Tea Plant, tourists could cycle around for sightseeing, pick tea-leaves and watch tea art shows. And most interestingly, under the guidance of the technicians in the plant, they can also learn to make a cup of "love" tea and serve to one's parents or friends.
