Nannuoshan Ancient Tea Gardens
南糯山
A famous ancient Pu'er tea mountain in Menghai, with centuries-old tea trees growing among Hani villages. Visit the tea king tree at Banpo Old Village and try picking and processing tea yourself.
Nannuoshan lies in Gelang Township, Menghai County, about 25 km from Jinghong and close to National Highway 219. It is one of the oldest ancient tea mountains in Xishuangbanna. The Hani people have grown tea here for generations, and villages such as Banpo Old Village are surrounded by centuries-old tea trees, with tea gardens wrapped in mist beneath the forest. In the villages you can visit primary processing workshops and taste tea, and during the spring tea season you can try picking tea leaves yourself. The mountain roads are winding, so hiring a car is recommended. When buying tea, distinguish between ancient-tree tea and terrace-garden tea.
