Enjoy the golden autumn with Zen tea

I once served in the army in this area, but I didn't know there was such a birthplace of tea. Following the golden rhythm of late autumn, I drove along the Taihu Lake, through the country roads, and gradually went deep into the dense forest. Among the lush mountains and swaying bamboos, I found a piece of pure land and experienced the historical origins of Zen tea. According to historical records: The Tang Dynasty Tribute Tea House is located at Hutouyan on the side of Guzhu Mountain in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province. It is the first tea processing factory in Chinese history that can be verified. After many changes, the current retro-replica of the Datang Tribute Tea Garden is composed of four parts: Lu Yu Pavilion, Auspicious Temple, East Corridor and West Corridor. It goes up the mountain all the way, and the whole is built along the corridors, pavilions and towers along the mountainside. In the late autumn, against the backdrop of the colorful forests and lush mountains, it is even more handsome and elegant. During the stroll, you can feel the rich ancient culture of Zen and tea, and have the elegant pleasure of "stealing half a day of leisure from life". It is best to drive to the Gongcha Garden by yourself. Public transportation is extremely inconvenient in the countryside, so a 2-3 hour stroll is enough. The town center at the foot of the mountain is connected to the scenic area. After half a day of wandering, you can drive or walk to the edge of the scenic area. Food and accommodation are more appropriate in the town center. You can also stop at an ancient temple along the way and burn incense there!
