Longjing Village

Compared to West Lake, this is a relatively off-the-beaten-path attraction. Buses aren't always packed, but private cars might require a bit of a fight for a parking space. Although it's a small mountain village, thanks to the Longjing tea's reputation, every roadside house is a teahouse and a farmhouse. We went before the Qingming Festival and noticed the price of this tea hadn't increased significantly. Apparently, these vendors are quite honest, knowing that Qingqian tea typically doesn't hit the market until after the Qingming Festival. Besides that, it's normal to see tea that costs 200 yuan per jin selling for 500 or 600 yuan, and 500 or 600 yuan per jin selling for over 1,000 yuan. After all, it takes work for the owner to chat with you for hours. The Longjing here is actually called Shifeng Longjing, and while it's actually quite good, if you're looking for value and authentic Longjing, don't go there.

Finally, the photos are quite nice, and it is worth seeing as part of the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gorges.

How can I waste such good time? I searched online and found that the blogger I follow praised the scenery around "Longjing Village", which attracted me.

Thanks to the development of tourism, the village has become quite well-established. Winter isn't tea-picking season, but the vegetation remains lush and green. The stream is crystal clear; I can't believe how many years it's been since I last crossed it on stones. Tea vendors sell tea in the village. The Lion Peak Longjing tea grown in the mountains is the most prized variety, commanding a much higher price than West Lake Longjing. The villagers of Longjing Village sell their own tea, which they package themselves. Those unfamiliar with the trade should be wary of this.

Longjing Village, known as the "First Village in Tea Country," is world-renowned for its production of premium West Lake Longjing tea. Legend has it that during his trip south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Qianlong visited the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing Village to taste West Lake Longjing tea. He praised it so highly that he named the eighteen tea trees in front of the temple "Imperial Tea." Locals say that some of Longjing Village's tea is even sent to the central government annually, demonstrating the high quality of its tea. The village boasts beautiful scenery, with restaurants, teahouses, and coffee shops, all beautifully decorated with flowers and plants. There are rumors online about the many "tricks" surrounding Longjing Village tea, and we weren't particularly knowledgeable. We bought some from a farmer, believing it was a local specialty, and didn't inquire about prices elsewhere. It would be frustrating to find out if we'd overpaid. [Laughing and crying]

Take bus No. 27 and get off at Longjing Village Station. Walk a few steps to the left and you will see a memorial archway. Along the way, you can see many farmers frying and selling tea.

Every year in early April, the new round of Mingqian tea picking begins. Longjing tea, with its tender buds resembling lotus seeds, is said to be worth an ounce of gold. Because labor is expensive, young women rarely pick tea leaves. A pound of tea costs at least 400 yuan. I asked a tea vendor on the road and he told me a cup of tea costs 80 yuan.

It was my first time seeing a tea plantation in person. The air was filled with the aroma of tea. I walked to the top of the cultural village, but I didn't go in. It is said that Emperor Qianlong's "Eighteen Imperial Tea Trees" were planted here, and the top-quality "Shifeng Longjing" was produced here.

Longjing Village is well-known. When I took the bus from the city, some aunties came to talk to me and asked if I was going to buy tea. If so, they would ride to the last stop. They were so enthusiastic. It seems that business is really bleak this year.

You can go and see it. I bought some tea in the village. The scenery is nice. You can walk further into the mountains. I heard the scenery is also very good. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go in.

Shifeng is the origin of Longjing tea. The villagers here are very welcoming. You can drink tea and chat without buying tea. There are tea mountains outside the village. The scenery is really beautiful when you climb up the tea mountain and look down.

It's beautiful, especially the Shifeng Lake, which is very beautiful. The 18 Royal Tea and Lao Longjing are also good!

Longjing Village, Longjing Tea! Easy life, comfortable environment!

My favorite place, relatively quiet, with pleasant scenery, the best place for tea tasting and tea picking

There are not many people going there. There are many people selling tea in Longjing Village on the top of the mountain.

After visiting Jiuxi Yanshu, you must visit Longjing Village. West Lake Longjing is very famous, but it is said that the best is produced on Lion Peak, referred to as Lion Peak Longjing.

Longjing Village is a beautiful paradise. If you want to explore the old Longjing tea and experience the Longjing tea culture, you must come here! Many villagers in the village ask if you want to drink tea or buy tea. It's best not to try it, haha

There's not much to see in Longjing Village, just tea fields. You can take a few photos and then leave. It takes about 30 minutes. If you want to take a photo for the Black Tea Beijian commercial, you can try it. It should be quite a feeling! (After all, it's a field, so it has a certain flavor.)

This is a nationally renowned tea-producing village, with tea plantations all around. I visited after the Qingming Festival and bought some Longjing tea to try.

Longjing Village really didn't disappoint. After passing the "Longjing Village" archway, not far away is "Shili Langyao". As you climb the stairs, the view gradually opens up, and large tea plantations and terraces slowly come into view. Rows of neatly arranged tea trees~

It was a sunny day when we went there. The mountains of Longjing tea trees against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds were refreshing!

The road to Longjing Village winds through nine bends and eighteen streams, paved entirely with cobblestones of varying sizes. High heels are recommended, so don't try it. There are nine streams along the way, and my daughter had a blast playing in them. It was cool, comfortable, and fun. A rainstorm on the way swept away all the tourists, so the road was mostly deserted. The mountains, covered in tea trees and shrouded in mist, resembled a fairyland. Are the villagers of Longjing Village wealthy? Shops selling Longjing tea are everywhere, but the locals told me they don't buy tea for tasting in Longjin Village.

Highly recommend: bring your swimsuit, swim trunks, and sandals. The river is full of water activities. It's packed with people, mostly Hangzhou locals, with fewer tour groups and mostly self-drive. There are also many Longjing tea plantations along the stream, perfect for photo opportunities. You'll be able to create stunning photos in no time.

The next day, I woke up early and took the bus to Longjing Village. If you have time, Hangzhou's public transportation is also a good choice because it is really convenient. The transfer station in the opposite direction is no more than 50 meters away, and you can reach it in a few steps.

Nestled among tea mountains, the village appears, from a distance, to be a collection of scattered small villas. Their exteriors are uniformly white, even the house numbers are uniformly marked. Occasionally, you'll see people, both locals and tourists, leisurely sipping tea. The terraced fields of the tea mountains are neatly arranged, revealing a sense of ecological beauty from every angle.

It is close to the Longjing tea scenic spot and there are many tea vendors in the village.

Passing by Longjing Village, looking at such beautiful green mountains, I can't help but want to open a homestay here. The clouds and mists on the top of the mountain are curling, and the springs at the foot of the mountain are gurgling. The villagers warmly invited us to drink tea. Of course, we had to buy tea before we could drink it, but it was all voluntary. There was no forced sale. The people here are also very simple.

It's very cool in the afternoon. When you enter the village, there will be several older women who will offer to be your tour guide. In fact, they want to take you to their homes to buy tea, so be careful. The last bus back to the city in the afternoon is at 6 o'clock, which is No. 87 and No. 27. Please pay attention to the time.

The scenery here is very similar to the "gourd" shape in the movie poster of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" starring Wang Baoqiang. When I saw this, I saw a tea garden.

Attention! Every household in the village has elderly women at their doorsteps, luring you in for tea and then offering to sell you tea. Tea lovers can buy tea, with good prices around 200 yuan per tael, but be sure to taste it before buying. Longjing Village also has "Eighteen Imperial Tea Trees" (10 yuan admission fee), which are similar to ordinary tea trees on the mountain. What a steal!

I won't say much about Longjing Village, everyone knows it.

There are vast tea plantations along the way. Just take some photos and ignore the aunties who try to drag you in for tea.

The entire village of Longjing is basically dedicated to selling tea. From time to time, someone will ask you if you want to buy tea. I always smile and shake my head. Walking through the entire village, I find it very clean and tidy, with gurgling water by the roadside. I really want to stay here and be a tea farmer to experience the mountains and rivers here carefully.

The tea frying pot attracted my attention, and I wanted to learn how to make it myself, so I bought a box of tea. The quality seemed good, after all, it was authentic Shifeng Longjing. Although it was not as good as the Mingqian tea, it had good color, aroma and taste. I also tried to fry some tea myself. The chef was very good and gave me some explanations.

If you have time, you can go and see it after coming out of Lingyin Temple. There are large areas of Longjing tea leaves and the air is quite fresh.

If you've envisioned a tea field, a tea mountain, or a tea plantation, then Longjing Village is well worth a visit. You don't necessarily need to come here to drink tea, and be wary of being ripped off by the locals. Simply enjoying the scenery is enough. The scenery is breathtaking all the way up the mountain, a winding road shaded by towering trees. Upon reaching Longjing Village, turn right. The only road in the village is flanked by tea plantations on both sides. There's a free parking lot somewhere on the side of the road. (A local even saw our car parked there and ran over to wait for us, just to ask if we wanted to go to her house for tea.) Parking is right next to the tea plantation, which leads up the mountain.

It's worth mentioning that the tea plantations here are truly wealthy. The entire path up the mountain is lined with neat cement steps, creating a perfectly organized tea field. Unattended and unobstructed, with only the occasional tea farmer working in the fields, we stumbled upon this breathtaking scenery without spending a cent.

Looking down at Longjing Village from the air, you will find it completely surrounded by mountains and forests. It is in this deep mountain cultivation environment that Longjing tea with a unique flavor can be produced. It is really wonderful to see the tea up close.

I have seen the world-famous West Lake Longjing tea before on the way to Lingyin Temple, but the terrain on that section of the road is relatively flat. Although it feels fresh and strange, it is far less shocking than the terraced fields backed by Lion Peak.



To enter Longjing Village, you first go up the mountain and then go down the mountain. After entering the village, the terrain is relatively flat. There are no large slopes all the way to Jiuxi Yanshu.



Legend has it that there was an ancient well here, with gurgling, clear water. The village was a tribe whose totem was the dragon, hence the name Longjing Village. Later, an old man named Shiquan visited here to taste the tea and was so impressed (he sighed at everything, you're used to it). He bestowed upon Longjing tea the title of "Imperial Tea." Since then, Longjing tea has become renowned.



Although it is winter, not the best time for camellia to bloom, the tea trees are still green with the blessing of ice and snow, and the winding paths lead to secluded places, which also have a different meaning.

Bus No. 27 offers direct access, but Beishan Road, running from Lingyin to Broken Bridge, is extremely congested, so it takes an hour. I met an elderly Longjing Village resident on the bus and learned that the locals consider themselves separate from the city dwellers of Hangzhou. They prefer to stay in their village. The tea from Longjing Village is called Shifeng Longjing, and it costs 35-50 yuan per cup. It's said to be 100 yuan per cup during the Qingming Festival. While I enjoy tea, I'm not an expert in tea, and I doubt I'd appreciate its quality without tasting it. I'm quite satisfied with tea in Shanghai that costs 100 yuan per jin.

See the travelogue "Remembering Hangzhou - Beauty in the South of the Yangtze River" http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/6744236.html

There's an ancient well in Longjing Village, and tea farmers will lend you a bucket. You can draw some water, wash your hands and face, and bring good fortune home. You can go to the tea farmer who lent you the bucket and taste Longjing tea for free, though most people buy some.

When I saw the layers of tea fields for the first time, people like us who are not good at Chinese could only use "wow" to describe our feelings. I also went to the tea gardens in Jeju Island two years ago. I don’t know how much better the Longjing tea in Hangzhou is than there.

There are many aunties in Longjing Village who like to strike up a conversation. You know their purpose. They just say they don’t want to buy tea or that they have already bought it.

I was also scammed. They said that the cheapest Longjing before the rain was 800 yuan per catty. I bought 4 taels and it was still 220 yuan. I suddenly felt that the southerners are really good at cheating people! Don't pay attention to the aunt who approaches you on the way. It's terrible.

Along the way, tea farmers recommended Longjing tea to us. We were able to sample local Longjing tea along the way, as prices were similar everywhere. If you don't know much about tea, don't buy it here; you'll easily get ripped off! Locals also recommended Meijiawu, where they offer authentic Longjing tea. We'd definitely give it a try next time.

We walked along Longjing Village and saw various tea plantations along the way. We bought local strawberries. Although they were a little expensive (15 yuan per pound), they tasted good.

When I went there in early April, the weather was very good. There were many mountain streams along the way. You can bring a pair of slippers. It is a very suitable place for playing in the water.

I didn’t go to the most famous Longjing Village, but went to Wengjiashan from the Qianlong Ancient Road. An old lady accompanied me to visit the tea mountain for an afternoon and told me how to distinguish the authenticity of Longjing tea.

[Longjing Village] Another highlight! Highly recommended! It's like something out of a movie! Tea bushes blanket the mountains, narrow stone paths, and walking through a sea of green is truly a natural oxygen bar. Looking down, the layers of camellia bushes form a giant maze, reminiscent of the world of The Wizard of Oz. Walking among the tea bushes is a delight. The sea of green, the blue brick paths and stairs, it's like walking through a maze. While you're taking detours, it's a delight to immerse yourself in it.

Five points! Highly recommended! You can see the tea mountains and drink tea

The meaning is more important than the scenery. It is better to go in spring, to pick tea leaves yourself, watch the tea frying, and buy some fresh Longjing tea in season.

The air here is particularly good. Coming down from the mountain to the village, tasting the local delicacies and drinking a cup of authentic Longjing tea, I feel that life is particularly comfortable and slow-paced! If you are in Hangzhou, I recommend visiting Longjing Village!

We went to Longjing Village for dinner at a roadside restaurant. The food was very authentic. On the other side was a tea plantation, which was very beautiful and spacious. I envied the people in Hangzhou who could go to the mountains on weekends and live a very comfortable life.

At the end of Jiuxi Shibajian is Longjing Village.

Longjing Village is a well-known small village in Hangzhou. It is rich in tourism resources, with scenic spots such as the Imperial Tea Garden, Hu Gong Temple, Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams, Ten Miles of Langyao, and Old Longjing. It has a beautiful environment, many scenic spots, complete service facilities, and convenient transportation. It is worth a visit.

I've always wanted to visit a tea plantation, so I came here specifically to buy some tea. Oh, so sad! There were grapefruit and kumquat trees growing outside the houses there. There was an elderly woman there, and I thought she was very kind, but the prices were ridiculously high. Seeing that I was from out of town, she charged me twice as much as they did! Maybe even more than that! I won't reveal their names here; if you're interested, you can chat privately. I hope everyone here will ask for good prices and not get scammed! It's normal to get scammed when you're away from home, but it's still very sad! I was originally very happy, but now my trip has been ruined...

Walking from south to north along the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams, you'll reach Longjing Village. Nearly every household here sells and tastes tea, and the elderly women you meet on the street often invite customers to their homes. The size of each business is a good indicator of its size. It's customary to randomly choose a tea shop that's currently preparing tea and stop in for a cup.

To me, Longjing Village seems like a paradise, with rolling tea hills. Climbing high, you can see rows of lush green tea plantations in the distance. For those arriving in Hangzhou, West Lake and Leifeng Pagoda are must-see attractions. However, if you're looking for a natural, refreshing experience and the chance to experience some home-style cuisine, a visit to Longjing Village is the only way to truly appreciate its beauty. This is a lesser-known attraction, and hiking Longjing Village requires some leg strength, so those in poor health shouldn't hike.

It was early summer when I went there, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the tea garden was quiet and beautiful.

Recommended in spring, walk directly from Shili Langyao and see the tea plantations along the way, it is very enjoyable.

I went to Longjing Village to drink and buy tea. The people I went to were very good and the tea was fragrant.

Highly recommended! This is a great hiking spot. Starting from Longjing Village, you'll pass through the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gorges. It's very quiet and has very few tourists, and the air is incredibly fresh after the rain. We walked slowly and it took us about three hours to complete the hike. It's important to note that there are no shops and vehicles are not allowed inside, so bring your own food and water. It can get cold after the rain, so bring your own jacket.

Longjing Village is very famous. I read in travel guides before that it said that there are many scammers who will take you to the place at Hangzhou bus stations. It feels very mysterious, haha. Every household in the village sells tea. Remember, don’t go to their homes to check the tea, otherwise you will have to shake your wallet.

A village famous for its Longjing tea, where farmers produce and sell their own tea

The winding mountain road leading to Longjing Village by bus is lined with tea plantations.

I heard from an aunt in Hangzhou that the Shifeng Longjing here is good.

It is a good place to relax, drink tea, eat, breathe oxygen, and play cards.

The tea fields are very beautiful. You have to pay for tea before you can eat at the farm restaurant. The food tastes pretty good!

Live in "Xiangge", drink Longjing tea, and relax

It's good to come and have a look at the culture and taste tea, but you should be cautious when buying tea.

West Lake Longjing, one of China's top ten green teas, is produced here. Tea plantations abound in the mountains, and there's even a tea museum to visit. Emperor Qianlong, during his visit to Hangzhou, even made a special trip to Longjing Village for inspection. The tea he brought back to the palace was so well-received by the Empress Dowager that he designated the eighteen tea trees grown in Longjing Village at the foot of Shifeng Mountain as "Imperial Tea," a practice that still exists today.

Beautiful, clean, fresh and quiet, a great place to drink tea and relax, it is definitely worth a visit

I can't quite remember if it was Longjing Village, but I passed by a large tea plantation on the way to Jiuxi Yanshu. The air was amazing, not as exaggerated as smelling the tea in the air, but walking through it was really pleasant. Especially when I saw the tender tea buds.

You can first take a bus to Longjing Temple, get off to Longjing tea, and then walk along the winding mountain road to Longjing Village. There are tea gardens built along the mountain, which are quite beautiful. There are many farmers selling Longjing tea. Friends who know the business can go and have a look and buy some to take home.

Longjing Village is almost entirely made up of tea plantations, and every household produces tea. The scenery is very beautiful.

Longjing Village and Jiuxi Shibajian are right next to each other, a very good hiking route

Longjing Village is a great place for a relaxing vacation. In the morning, when no one is around, strolling around the village, breathing in the fresh air and seeing the lush green Longjing tea plantations, is truly relaxing. It's a great place to slow down and relax. If possible, stay in Longjing Village to enjoy the idyllic scenery. Transportation is also very convenient.

We were originally planning to go to Hupao, but on the way, a man suddenly recommended Jiuxi. He seemed quite enthusiastic. Later in the trip, another woman invited us to her house for tea. But then I realized I'd been ripped off by a local. They told me the place was fun, the tea was authentic, and cheap, but it was still 800 yuan per jin. My boyfriend was so stupid he actually wanted half a jin. Later, I looked it up online and realized they were tea holders.

Longjing Village is the village where I walked to the end of Jiuxi River. It is a place where I drink tea, sell tea and eat.

After the rain in the empty mountains, the aroma of Longjing tea fills the air in Longjing Village.

It feels like a paradise, with tea gardens in every household.

Here we saw a large area of tea fields. The kids were very happy to finally see how tea grows. The tea mountains and tea fields were really comfortable. In Longjing Village, there are all kinds of tea shops, as well as places to eat and drink tea. Many shops here have freshly roasted tea for sale. It is really comfortable to take a break here.

Longjing Village, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, lies southwest of the West Lake Scenic Area. Surrounded by mountains, the terrain rises in the north and slopes down in the south. The village has a permanent population of approximately 800 and boasts nearly 800 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of high-altitude tea plantations. To the northwest, the Beigaofeng, Shizifeng, and Tianzhufeng peaks form a natural barrier, shielding against the cold northwest winds. To the south, Jiuxi River flows directly into the Qiantang River, allowing the southeast winds to easily penetrate the valley during spring and summer. These well-ventilated conditions provide a unique advantage for the growth of Longjing tea.

There are small villas scattered around, where you can stay.

This is my favorite place in Hangzhou. I really want to move my family here. There are few tourists and tea plantations all over the mountains. I also ate delicious braised fish in a farmhouse without a sign. The owner recommended it to me. It looks unremarkable but tastes really good.

West Lake is not only home to the lingering love story of the White Snake and Xu Xian, but also to the unforgettable taste of Longjing tea. Longjing Village, the renowned hometown of Longjing tea, is located south of the West Lake Scenic Area.

Longjing Village is located southwest of the West Lake Scenic Area, surrounded by mountains that rise in the north and slope down in the south. The village has a permanent population of approximately 800 and boasts nearly 800 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of alpine tea plantations. To the northwest, the Beigao, Shizi, and Tianzhu peaks form a natural barrier, shielding the village from the cold northwest winds. To the south, the Jiuxi River flows directly into the Qiantang River, creating a deep and wide valley. Southeast winds easily enter the valley during spring and summer, creating a breathable and well-ventilated environment that is ideal for the growth of Longjing tea. The Longjing tea produced here ranks first among the "Lion, Dragon, Cloud, and Tiger" teas. Legend has it that during his trip south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Qianlong visited the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shizi Peak in Longjing Village to taste West Lake Longjing tea. He was so impressed that he named the eighteen tea trees in front of the temple "Imperial Tea."

Longjing Village, known as the "First Village in Tea Country," is renowned for its production of premium West Lake Longjing tea. Bordered by West Lake to the east, Wuyun Mountain to the west, the surging Qiantang River to the south, and the towering peaks of the North and South Peaks to the north, it is surrounded by lush green mountains and mist, like an emerald gem inlaid on the shores of West Lake.

The village boasts abundant tourism resources, including the Imperial Tea Garden, Hugong Temple, Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams, Shili Langyao, and Old Longjing Tea, adding to the rich cultural atmosphere of the tea-growing region. The renovation project has reshaped the mountain stream landscape of Longjing Village, recreating the mountainous landscape of tea-growing villages, where farmers live upstream and near water. This has essentially restored the natural village style characteristic of the West Lake Longjing tea region.

Coming out of Jiuxi Shibajian is Longjing Village, which is the perfect place to rest and adjust. Since we wanted to go to Yunqi Bamboo Path in the afternoon, we took a taxi directly to Yunqi Bamboo Path.

If you happen to be in Hangzhou in March, you must go to Longjing Village to experience the spring scenery in the tea garden under the magnolia flowers.
