Longtan San Shui Li Tea Plantation Introduction
The filming location of the "Tea King" advertisement, the endless Luggage Flower sea for photos, savoring the rich aroma of Oriental Beauty tea, and strolling through century-old houses to appreciate the passage of time... Longtan offers more than just Shimen Reservoir and scenic Dachi. In the far west lies a tranquil hidden gem - Sanshui Village, where the simple natural scenery and cultural charm, combined with the slower pace of life different from metropolitan cities, invite travelers to write unique travel stories about Longtan. The mountain scenery and green trees create a lush landscape, and the cool breeze stirs up waves of green; stepping into the pavilion depicted in the Tea King advertisement, one can experience the rare leisure and comfort of the hundred-year-old tea plantation - Sanshui Tea Garden. If visiting during tea season, one might as well personally experience tea picking and savor the well-known Longquan Pungfeng tea with its warm, sweet aftertaste. From the tea garden to the table, a deeper understanding of tea-making culture adds delight to the journey. Every March, when the tea garden rests, tea farmers plant the Luggage Flower, known as the "Hakka Mother Flower," and after the flowers wilt, they become fertilizer for the tea trees. The ten-plus hectares of yellow, purple, and white flower fields adorn the tea mountains, leaving a remarkable impression, and the "Luggage Flower" depicted by Hakka literary giant Zhong Zhao-zhen comes vividly to life. In early summer, the appearances of fireflies and the rare Dujiaxian make it a perfect time for a family ecological trip. Sanshui Village is not only notable for its natural landscape but also recommended for discovering traditional Hakka culture; it features the Four Seasons Safety Wall that conveys the Baogong faith, the hundred-year-old Baogong Fude Temple, Hakka-style brick carvings, and the century-old Hakka Sanhe courtyard - Jiang Family Old House. The first "Loving Luggage Flower" event in 2018 held activities such as Hakka rice food experiences, Lei Cha, a beauty tea ceremony, and local guided tours. Listening to stories, exploring Hakka culture, and tasting local farm cuisine are all quite meaningful experiences.
