Xinyang
A tea-growing region in southern Henan with Jigongshan as a summer retreat, where the green mountains and waters of the Dabie Mountains offer cool leisure.
Xinyang lies at the southernmost tip of Henan, on the northern slopes of the Dabie Mountains and the upper Huai River, combining northern and southern climate traits, and is the home of Xinyang Maojian tea. Jigongshan is a traditional summer retreat, with many modern villas left on the mountain; Nanwan Lake, Lingshan and the Dabie Mountain scenery in Xin County and Shangcheng are beautiful, Huangbaishan National Forest Park in Shangcheng is known for its forests and Zen temples, Haotang Village is a model of rural development, and there are many red-tourism sites. Spring tea-picking, summer cooling off and autumn foliage are all great reasons to visit.
