Nestled in the lush mountains of Xiamen, Longquan is a serene escape where the air is filled with the delicate aroma of tea. The highlight here is the Longquan Tea Plantation, where you can try your hand at picking and processing tea leaves, and savor authentic Tieguanyin tea. A hike up the winding mountain trails leads you to the crystal-clear Longquan Waterfall, a perfect summer retreat. Don’t miss the charming Tea Culture Museum nearby, which offers a deep dive into the art of Chinese tea ceremonies.
