Toufen Backyard Garden Introduction
In the northeast corner of Toufen City, on the Laoqi red earth hilly terrace, there lies a piece of untouched land that has not been overdeveloped. Here, tea gardens line the hills, fragrant maple trees provide shade, pines whisper in the breeze, and acacias create a charming pathway. There is also a resting trail that connects various scenic spots, accompanied by the chorus of cicadas and birds, composing a symphony of nature. In summer, the oilsotong flowers blanket the ground like white snow, while throughout the different seasons, visitors are greeted by the blooming acacia flowers, pomelo flowers, and pear flowers that accompany them on their hiking journey, leaving them in awe with their vibrant beauty and intoxicating fragrance. This secluded paradise is referred to as the "Toufen Back Garden." Upon arriving at the Toufen Back Garden, the first stop must be the "Laoqi Resting Trail." This is the newly renovated version of the Lao Qi Trail, with all construction preserving the original topography and using ecological methods, making it both beautiful and rustic. The trail is approximately four kilometers long, with parking lots located at the entrances near Xuanhua Hall, Jinchun Farm, Yiming Tea Garden, and Rixin Tea Garden. Visitors can choose to hike a round trip based on their time and physical condition or opt for a circular O-shaped hike. Along the way, the pine forest stone steps, maple red earth paths, sleeper hibiscus paths, and acacia red earth paths each showcase their unique charm. Toufen is famous for producing "Pongfeng Tea," which is why tea gardens can be found throughout the Back Garden. Each tea house proudly displays a stone tablet marking "Toufen Back Garden," indicating that you are in this land full of pastoral charm. "Pongfeng Tea," also known as "Oriental Beauty Tea," is loved by tea enthusiasts for its unique flavor. After hiking or walking in the woods, one might leisurely sit down to enjoy a good cup of tea. The Hakka Sanhe Courtyard of the 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 embodying the tranquil spirit that one should experience while tasting Chinese tea.
