Ganchou Street - Tea Leaf Street Introduction
Ganzhou Street, commonly known as Tea Street, has played a significant role in the history of tea in Dadaocheng. During its peak, there were more than a dozen tea houses gathered along Ganzhou Street and the nearby Guizui Street. Additionally, the "Jin Ji Tea House" on Guidé Street, "Xin Fang Chun Tea House" on Minsheng West Road, "Nan Xing Tea House" which is now the Quan Xiang Tea Factory on Xining North Road, and "You Ji Ming Tea" on Chongqing North Road were also pivotal contributors to the development of the tea industry. Although Ganzhou Street has declined over the years, there are still around five or six tea houses that maintain traditional tea-making techniques and offer authentic tea culture. Every cup of tea reflects the complex process of tea production, enhancing its fragrance and flavor. Furthermore, the tea here is guaranteed to be of high quality, embodying the spirit of honesty passed down from the older generation. Additionally, Chaoyang Park on Chongqing North Road is now a tea-themed park that documents the past contributions of the tea industry and aims to revitalize business opportunities in the old community through the integration of tea with culture, leisure, and tourism.
