Located in Wujia Tai Village, Wanzhai Township, Xuan'en County. During the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, tea from Wujia Tai gained recognition as an imperial tribute due to its unique quality. The site retains tea plantations, residential buildings, and the burial grounds of the Wu family. There are two residential buildings, with a total floor area of approximately 600 square meters. Both are stilted structures facing south, featuring five pillars and four spans, with post-and-lintel construction and gable-and-hip tiled roofs. Nearby the houses lie an ancient cluster of Wu family tombs, consisting of ten earthen burial mounds, each marked with a tombstone. This tea garden is the best-preserved and longest continuously used imperial tea garden in Hubei. (Fifth Batch)
