Toufen Back Garden Introduction
In the northeastern corner of Toufen City, on the old hillock of Laozi, lies a pristine land that has not been overdeveloped; here, tea plantations stretch in rows, fragrant maple trees provide shade, whispers of pines sing softly, and acacia trees line the paths. There are also restful trails connecting the diverse natural beauty, accompanied by the sounds of cicadas and birds, harmonizing with nature's symphony. In summer, the tung flowers romantically blanket the ground like white snow, while the changing seasons bring the yellow flowers of acacia, pomelo blossoms, and pear flowers, accompanying visitors along the trails with their vibrant beauty and enchanting fragrances, always leaving tourists amazed. This secluded paradise is known as the "Toufen Back Garden." Upon arriving at the Toufen Back Garden, the first stop should be the "Laozi Resting Trail." This is the newly renovated section of the Laozi Trail, with all related engineering preserving the original terrain and natural landscape, resulting in a beautiful yet rustic appearance. The trail is approximately four kilometers long, with parking lots at the entrances of Xuanhua Hall, Jinchun Farm, Yiming Tea Garden, and Rixin Tea Garden, allowing visitors to choose between a short round trip or a circular hike based on their time and stamina. Along the way, the pine forest stone steps, maple red earth paths, wooden block bougainvillea paths, and acacia red earth paths all showcase their unique charm. Toufen is famous for producing "Pongfeng Tea," so tea gardens are everywhere within the Back Garden, with each tea shop erecting a stone tablet identifying it as part of the "Toufen Back Garden," informing you that you have entered this charming agricultural paradise. "Pongfeng Tea," also known as "Oriental Beauty Tea," is beloved for its unique flavor among tea drinkers. After hiking or walking through the woods, why not sit down and enjoy a nice cup of tea? The Hakka Sanhe Courtyard at Xu family traditional house, the red brick tea house at Yiming Tea Garden, the tranquil Tang-style courtyard tea house, and Jinchun Farm all brim with rich cultural atmosphere, perfectly aligning with the serene sentiment that tea drinking in China embodies.
