The ancients said: "no one is noble or humble, no family is rich or poor, eating utensils are necessary."

Tour experience

The China Tea Museum is built on the mountain, with its back on Jiqing mountain. Facing Wulao peak and the East on Xinxi lake, it is surrounded by tea gardens. When you look around, you can see that the pink walls, Daiwa, green trees and the continuous green tea gardens are in contrast. The main body of the museum is composed of several groups of well arranged buildings, which are connected by flower corridors, winding paths, rockeries, ponds, waterside pavilions, etc., creating a unique charm of Jiangnan gardens and a simple, fresh and natural pastoral scenery.

museum without walls

Walking into the museum, one of the first things that people feel shocked is that it has no walls. The general museum gives people the feeling of solemnity and solemnity, with a kind of shelf of grand classic culture. However, the Tea Museum has opened up fences and walls. Only in the areas that need to be blocked, plants with thorns are densely planted, which is transparent and effective. It creates an ecological museum without walls that "the museum is in the tea room and the tea is in the museum". It seems to tell people that we have no doorsill, and we welcome every guest.

The museum without walls is a leisure scenic spot with a strong atmosphere of tea culture, showing the humanistic theme and charm of tea culture everywhere. It attracts tea culture lovers and tourists from home and abroad with its unique garden art and profound tea culture exhibition.

At the foot of the road, suddenly took away all the sight. The road paved with natural stones is unexpectedly inlaid with 100 "tea" characters or nicknames (such as "tea", "surprise", "tea", "tea") from ancient steles, rubbings, famous calligraphy, paintings, ceramic inscriptions and cliff stone carvings. People can't help but revel in the charm of calligraphy and seal cutting In the art paradise, there is not only the charm of calligraphy and ink, but also the strong fragrance of tea.

After walking through the tea ceremony called "shuangxiangjing" unconsciously, I came to the northwest corner of the Tea Expo. A water system with tea charm, which runs across the Tea Expo, has become the landscape axis of the Tea Expo. It just shows the theme of "water is the mother of tea" and shows the blending relationship between "tea" and "water". The water system uses the mountains to introduce the living water of Qiantang River, which runs from the northwest corner of Chabo to the southeast corner. It joins with the mountain streams outside the museum. It uses the natural big rock revetment which has been washed by the natural waterfall for many years, and paves a layer of pebbles at the bottom of the stream. The water is stored in deep pools, dammed in layers, gushing springs, mountain streams, and shoals. The water flows down step by step, just like Jiuxi and eighteen streams The effect of water accumulation.

Museum features

Down the river, there are characteristic teahouses and outdoor tea tasting area on both sides of the water system. Out of the southeast, you come to the exhibition building, the essence of Tea Expo culture. There is a long history of Chinese tea culture, and the water scenery is coming to an end. The whole tour line is not only smooth and continuous, but also profound.

Walking into the preface hall of the exhibition building, I was immediately attracted by the sound of water. I saw a water curtain slowly descending from a height of 10 meters. A tide of spring water was infiltrated with such a big green word "tea", which was very clear and eye-catching. It was really "the essence of tea is fragrant, it can't be discussed without water". Under the water curtain, the rockery bonsai is lush. This dynamic and static design symbolizes the long history of Chinese tea culture and interprets tea
