Royal Tea Garden
Surrounded by the five peaks which are in the shape of a lotus flower, the royal tea garden is just situated in the sunken spot, the heart of the "flower", which endowed the place with high geomantic quality. Wu Lizhen, the founder of Mengshan Tea in Han Dynasty planted seven seeds of "miraculous tea" in the garden. Since Tang Dynasty, the tea leaves in the garden were picked and paid as tribute to emperors. In the 13th year of Chunxi Period of Emperor Kaozong's reign in Southern Song Dynasty [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], the tea garden was officially named "Royal Tea Garden".
