Xuan'en Wujiatai Rural Leisure Resort

The Xuan'en Wujiatai Rural Leisure Resort is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

The Wujiatai Rural Leisure Resort is situated in the northeastern part of Xuan'en County. It is composed of six scenic zones: Camellia Valley, Tribute Tea Square, Tribute Tea Mountain, Longdong Bay, Changchen's Hometown, and Romantic Tea Sea. The area boasts ten key scenic spots: Changchen Lake, Sanpao Spring, Tea God Platform, Qiankun Pot, Divine Turtle Mountain, Lion Mountain, Tiger Spring, Rare Tree Observation, and Fragrant Springs. The resort includes colorful tea trails such as the Colorful Tea Trail, Long'en Tea Trail, Cloud Tea Trail, and Fragrant Sky Plank Walk. The area is home to distinctive tea-themed homestays, offering visitors an open rural eco-cultural experience.

The Wujiatai Tribute Tea Cultural Tourism Area is located at the intersection of National Highway 209 and Provincial Highway 232. It is 18 kilometers from the county seat, 12 kilometers from the entrances of the Enlai and Enqian expressways, and 40 kilometers from Enshi Railway Station and Enshi Airport, falling within the half-hour tourism economic circle of Enshi Prefecture. Since 2008, Xuan'en has focused on developing Wujiatai Village as the core area, extending its influence to seven surrounding villages, with the aim of establishing a 10,000-mu ecological tea plantation industry belt. The region has been actively promoting integrated development models combining agriculture and tourism, tea and tourism, as well as culture and tourism, achieving remarkable results. The “Wujiatai Tribute Tea Garden” has been listed as a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit, while the “Wujiatai Tribute Tea Production Technique” has been included in the provincial intangible cultural heritage protection list. Wujiatai Village has earned honors such as “Hubei Province Leisure Agriculture Demonstration Site” and “Best Scenic Award of Jingchu.” After several years of dedicated development, a national all-for-one tourism demonstration site and a fully open ecological and cultural tourism area are gradually taking shape. It has become a new highlight for the county’s export earnings, increased efficiency for tea enterprises, and higher incomes for local farmers.
