Introduction

Longjing Village is located in the southwest of the West Lake Scenic Area, surrounded by mountains on all sides. It has a population of about 800 residents and nearly 800 acres of high mountain tea gardens. The natural barrier formed by the Beigao Peak, Shizifeng Peak, and Tianzhu Peak in the northwest of the village blocks the invasion of northwest cold wind. To the south is Jiuxi, a deep and wide valley that leads directly to the Qiantang River. The favorable geographic conditions with southeast winds in spring and summer provide unique advantages for the growth of Longjing tea. The Longjing tea produced here ranks first among "the lion, dragon, cloud, and tiger". According to legend, Emperor Qianlong tasted West Lake Longjing tea at Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing Village during his visit to the southern region. He praised it highly and designated the eighteen tea trees in front of the temple as "Imperial Tea". Longjing Village, known for its production of top-quality West Lake Longjing tea, is hailed as the "number one tea village". It is surrounded by the West Lake on the east, Wuyun Mountain on the west, the flowing Qiantang River on the south, and the towering peaks on the north as if it were a jade gem embedded on the bank of the West Lake, surrounded by lush mountains and enveloped in mist and clouds.
