Longjing tea fields, Zhejiang, China
4.0 (350 reviews) Spent Ranking #11 in Hangzhou Gardens
Wonderful place, on bike or feet!
Ended up riding through Longjing village on a bike ride around Hangzhou. Wonderful village, with mile upon mile of tea leaves each side! A main town was full of restaurants and tea bars - I'm amazed so many can stay in business! Ended up going up a long hill on the bike, before entering a long tunnel and coming out to even more tea fields the other side. Wonderful to see the women working picking the leaves. I do need to work on mastering how to drink the tea, I find the physical tea leaves annoying in the drink! Needs to be strained, although locals don't seem to drink it that way. If you like the outdoors, walking or cycling I highly recommend planning a few hours here!

Lovely tea village
We visited this lovely little tea village in August 2019 as part of a tour. It was clearly aimed at tourists. Interesting information about tea, and a demonstration with iodine to show the benefits of drinking green tea. Hard push for sales of tea, green tea in tablet form, and concentrated tablets. They package it on the spot - on the conference room table, so you can watch it get sealed. They pack a lot of tea into the tins as they seal it. We did buy some tea and some other tea related products. Pretty gardens and courtyards. Worth a visit here even though we felt a little rushed.

Worth a Quick Trip if in Area
We thought the fields were neat with how they were lined up. There is a section near the National Tea Museum which we spent most of our time in but we didn't spend too much time before moving on. We were here for about half an hour before moving on.
