Longtan San Shui Li Tea Garden Introduction
Unlock the filming locations of the "Tea King" advertisement, take photos at the endless fields of Bluebell flowers, savor the rich aroma of Oriental Beauty tea, and leisurely stroll through the century-old ancient houses while savoring the passage of time... Longtan offers more than just Shimen Reservoir and the Scenic Dazhi Pond; in the far west lies a tranquil secret spot - Sanshui Village. With its simple natural landscape and cultural charm, along with a pace that differs from metropolitan cities, it allows travelers to write a unique travelogue of Longtan. The mountain views and lush trees create a vibrant green landscape, as the cool breeze stirs waves of green. Entering the pavilion in the filming scene of the "Tea King" advertisement, one feels the rare ease in the century-old tea plantation - Sanshui Tea Garden. If visiting during tea season, why not personally experience tea picking and the well-known Longquan Pouchong tea with its smooth and mellow taste? Understanding the tea-making culture from tea garden to table adds joy to the journey. Each March, when the tea garden rests, farmers plant the "Hakka Mother Flower," commonly known as the Bluebell. After the flowers wither, they become fertilizer for the tea trees. The sea of yellow, purple, and white flowers spread across the tea mountains is stunning, bringing to life the "Bluebell" from Hakka literary giant Zhong Zhao Zheng's writings. In early summer, the appearances of fireflies and the rare Bugatti also make it suitable for a family ecological trip. Sanshui Village is not only about natural scenery; it is also a recommended destination for discovering Hakka traditional culture. The Seasonal Peace Wall that conveys the beliefs in Bogu, the century-old Bogu Fude Temple, Hakka-themed brick carvings, and the century-old Hakka Sanhe Courtyard - Jiang's Ancient House, hosted the first "Love Bluebell" event in 2018, featuring experiences with Hakka rice dishes, pestle tea, Beauty tea sessions, and local guided tours. Listening to stories, walking through Hakka culture, and tasting local farmhouse cuisine are all unique experiences.
