Qishe Tea Plantations
七舍茶海
High-altitude tea gardens at about 2,000 m southwest of Xingyi, with tea rows spreading across the slopes. Summers are cool, and the nearby Fangmaping grassland offers sunrise and cloud-sea views.
Qishe Town lies on a plateau at about 2,000 meters above sea level, southwest of Xingyi, and is a well-known high-altitude tea region of Qianxinan. Large tea gardens spread in tiers across the slopes, known as the 'Qishe Tea Sea.' In spring you can try tea picking and tea processing. Summer is cool, and it is a popular retreat for local residents. Nearby, the Fangmaping alpine grassland, with its windmills and viewing platforms, is good for watching sunrise, cloud seas and starry skies, and it occasionally has hoarfrost in winter. It is about 40 km from Xingyi city, along mountain roads, so driving is recommended. The tea gardens are free to visit, but camping on the grassland requires attention to the weather.
