Located behind Hugong Temple in Longjing Village, this West Lake Scenic Area marks where Emperor Qianlong personally picked tea during his southern tours in the 18th century. Impressed by the quality, he decreed these 18 bushes as imperial tribute.
Today, the historic garden offers tea tastings, ancient stone wells and terraced hillsides, a serene journey for tea lovers and history seekers alike.
