Yuntaishan Tea Garden

云台山茶园

A high-mountain tea garden at about 1,000 metres in Malu town, with tea rows stretching along the ridgeline wrapped in clouds. Anhua's most famous tea landscape.

Yuntaishan is located in Malu town, Anhua County. Its broad mountaintop plateau is covered with large high-mountain tea gardens that climb the slopes in terraces. Clouds wrap the hill most of the year, and it is often called one of China's most beautiful tea gardens. This is the origin of the Yuntai Large-Leaf tea plant. In spring you can join tea farmers to pick leaves and visit the tea factories. The mountain has viewing platforms, the former site of Guanyin Temple, and guesthouses, and sea-of-clouds views are common at dawn. The scenic roads are now paved, so you can drive straight to the summit. From Dongping, the county seat, the drive takes about 1 hour. In summer it is more than 5 ℃ cooler than the county seat, making it a good escape from the heat. In winter, roads are occasionally closed by ice. The map point is set at the summit of Yuntaishan.
