Tea on the hills
In Jiangbang Village (江塝村), Xiakou Town (峡口镇), rows of tea bushes spread across the slopes. Jiangbang Tea Garden (江塝茗园) combines tea cultivation and processing with rural tourism. Tea-themed accommodation, lakeside outings and farm-life experiences are part of its visitor offering. A Jiangbang farming household runs a restaurant serving farm-style dishes and sells tea alongside the meals.
A river-and-tea circuit
The Muma River (牧马河) through the urban area anchors a visitor circuit connecting Cherry Valley (樱桃沟), Luojiaba Ancient Town (骆家坝古镇) and Luozhen Tea Garden (罗镇茗园). In 2026, the county linked riverside recreation with tea-garden visits along two touring routes. Bamboo rafting and paddleboarding add water-based activities to an area otherwise strongly associated with tea plantations.
