Kunlushan Royal Tea Garden
困鹿山皇家古茶园
A Qing-dynasty imperial tribute tea garden where centuries-old tea trees grow alongside village life, a pilgrimage site for Pu'er tea lovers.
Kunlushan is in Kuanhong Village, Ninger Town, Ninger County, about 30-odd km from the county seat, roughly a one-hour drive. The ancient tea tree groves cover more than 10,000 mu. The core ancient tea garden holds many large-leaf and small-leaf ancient tea trees several hundred years old, and legend says it was designated an imperial tribute tea garden during the Yongzheng reign of the Qing dynasty. The ancient trees grow around village houses, so you can taste tea in farmers' homes and learn how ancient-tree tea is processed. Mountain roads are narrow and muddy in the rainy season, so hire a vehicle and go in the dry season. Please do not climb or pick from the ancient trees.
