The mountain features overlapping peaks with summits piercing the clouds, often shrouded in light mist and fog. The soil is sandy yellow loam, loose in structure, well-aerated and drained, and rich in available phosphates, which are especially conducive to the growth of tea trees. In Puchuan Township, there still remains a large ancient tea tree verified to be over 300 years old, confirming the long history of tea cultivation in the area. In the 1930s, Mr. Li Genyuan (former member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference) invited tea experts from Jiangsu Province to establish a tea school and train tea technicians in an effort to develop the local tea industry.
