Wengjiashan Village

Hangzhou


In the hills near Dragon Well Village, Wengjiashan Village is an alternative place in which to enjoy lóngjǐng tea at one of the village's many teahouses. Wengjiashan has a permanent population of around 900 people, most of whom traditionally had the surname Wēng. There are many trails radiating from the village, including a beautiful route that starts at Yanxia Cave before winding its way up through tea plantations and forests to Santai Pavilion and beyond.
