About Yiwu Ancient Town
According to the Mengla county civilization office, Yiwu town has a deep tea-culture heritage; local authorities have built a heritage complex centred on the Puer Tea Culture Museum, integrating a cultural plaza, the old tea-horse-road route, historic tea firms and surrounding villages. The complex includes a workshop for tribute-tea-making techniques and historic tea firms such as Tongxinghao, where recognised intangible-heritage inheritors and veteran tea makers teach the process of sun-drying, rolling, pressing into cakes and drying tea leaves.
