Longjing Village, nestled in the hills west of West Lake, is the origin of China's famous Longjing (Dragon Well) tea. Visitors wander through terraced tea fields, watch farmers hand-pick leaves, and visit family-run tea houses for tastings. The village retains a traditional character with white-walled houses and stone lanes. The nearby Longjing Temple and the Eighteen Imperial Tea Trees add historical depth. It's an immersive experience into tea culture, from leaf to cup, with stunning views of the surrounding hills.
