Toufen Back Garden Introduction
In the northeast corner of Toufen City, on the Laoqi Red Soil Hill Terrace, there lies a pure land that has not been overly developed. Here, you can find tea plantations, sycamore groves, whispering pines, and acacia-lined paths, as well as rest trails that connect various beautiful natural sceneries. Along the way, the sounds of cicadas and birds create a symphony of nature's music. In summer, the oil tree blossoms romantically blanket the ground like white snow, while in different seasons, the acacia yellow flowers, pomelo flowers, and pear flowers take their turn to accompany visitors along the trails, with their colorful beauty and delightful fragrance always astonishing tourists. This independent paradise is known as the “Toufen Back Garden.” When visiting the Toufen Back Garden, the first stop is the "Laoqi Resting Trail." This trail has been renovated and showcases a new look, with all construction maintaining the original terrain and natural ecological methods, making it both beautiful and rustic. The trail stretches about four kilometers and has parking lots at various entrances, including Xuanhua Hall, Jinchun Farm, Yiming Tea Garden, and Rixin Tea Garden. Visitors can choose a short round trip or O-shaped hike based on their time and energy level, with different paths showcasing the beauty of pine forests, stone steps, red soil trails, and more. Toufen is famous for producing "Pongfeng tea," so tea gardens can be found everywhere in the Back Garden. In front of every tea house stands a stone tablet proclaiming "Toufen Back Garden," letting you know that you are in this charming land full of pastoral beauty. "Pongfeng tea," also known as "Oriental Beauty tea," is loved by tea drinkers for its unique flavor. After hiking or strolling through the forest, take a leisurely moment to enjoy a cup of fine tea. The traditional Hakka Sanheyuan of Xu family, the red-brick tea house of Yiming Tea Garden, the tranquil Tang-style garden tea house, and Jinchun Farm all exude a rich cultural atmosphere, perfectly reflecting the serene sentiment one should have while savoring Chinese tea.
