Chengdu people love tea. You can see tea houses everywhere. If you really want to travel like a local, sit down at a teahouse with a cup of tea and have some leisure talk with the natives. But if you come here in spring, there is something better. With about 2.5 hours’ drive, you can go to the tea plant on Mengding Mountain or Mount Emei to pick tea-leaves by yourself when they are at the most tender and fresh state. You can also learn the whole process of making tea with the local farmer. It must be a very different feeling to drink tea again after this experience.
