Anhua County
The home of Anhua dark tea, with the Tea-Horse Road and covered bridges winding through the Xuefeng Mountains, ideal for tea tasting, tea-farm visits and mountain village exploring.
Anhua County lies in central-western Hunan, in the west of Yiyang, in the northern Xuefeng Mountains, with the Zi River running through it. It is the main production area of Anhua dark tea, and tea gardens, tea factories and tea culture experiences are everywhere. The Tea-Horse Road scenic area preserves old roads and wind-and-rain bridges, and the area around Zhexi Reservoir has broad lake-and-mountain views. The tea-picking season in spring and autumn are the best times to visit. You can travel by expressway from Yiyang or Changsha.
