About Longjing Village and Meijiawu Tea Hills

Longjing Village and Meijiawu are separate tea-growing areas in the hills around Hangzhou's West Lake. Both are associated with West Lake Longjing, the green tea also known as Dragon Well. Their appeal comes from cultivated slopes, village settings and opportunities to learn how a recognisable local product relates to its landscape.

Longjing Village includes the Lion Peak setting and an imperial tea garden with traditions associated with the Qianlong emperor. Meijiawu has its own tea-farming community and developed visitor services. The imperial-tree story belongs to local historical tradition; it should not be used to authenticate tea sold by an unrelated business.

Choose one village for a shorter outing, then add a public hillside walk or an agreed tea experience. Tea fields are working agricultural land, so ask before entering rows or picking leaves. For any tasting, meal or purchase, confirm the terms first. A pleasant view of a tea garden alone does not establish the origin, harvest date or grade of a packaged tea.

What to look for

  • Cultivated tea slopes and village surroundings in two distinct Longjing-producing areas.
  • The Lion Peak and imperial-tea traditions associated with Longjing Village.
  • Meijiawu’s tea-farming landscape and locally operated visitor experiences.
