Walk under the old tea trees of Dapingzhang
Jingmai Mountain
One of Jingmai's biggest stretches of old tea forest: gnarled tea trees growing under taller forest, the farming system that earned World Heritage status in 2023. A path crosses it from the west entrance to the east, on foot or by shuttle, and the fenced Tea Spirit Tree (茶神树) is the one everyone photographs.
What locals sayMost posts say this is where Jingmai makes sense: tea growing like a forest, not in neat rows.
