Hunan’s 3 culture and tourism brands win honors
2023-10-25
At the conference, 27 tea road culture and tourism brands of tourist attractions, cultural blocks and intangible cultural heritage were released.
Hunan Anhua Tea-horse Ancient Road Scenic Area, Anhua Huangshaping Dark Tea Town, and Anhua Dark Tea Production Technique were on the list.
This promotion event aims to jointly create and promote the tea road culture and tourism brands and showcase the new image of the integration of tea culture and tourism.
The tea-horse ancient road is hidden among lofty mountains and flowing streams. Here, you can explore the history of the ancient tea-horse trade routes on foot and even ride a horse along the ancient road.
Not far from the tea-horse tribe is the Guanshan Gorge, which stretches about 3 kilometers. In the gorge, ancient trees tower, and crystal-clear streams flow, with fish swimming and green mountains reflected in the water.
It is an essential mountain pass along the tea-horse ancient road. This place is not only an ancient road but also a great destination for outdoor exploration and rock climbing.
Anhua Dark Tea Town consists of four areas, namely the pleasant and livable southern riverside area of the county, the Huangshaping and Youzhou area that inherit and cultivate the dark tea culture, the Chaxi area for leisure and health preservation, and the Wanlong area that studies and innovates the dark tea.
The construction of the town highlights the theme of “Anhua Dark Tea” and strives to create a first-class characteristic town with the integration of tea and tourism, as well as the integration of industry and city.
Anhua Dark Tea Production Technique (Qianliang Tea Production Technique) includes processes such as basket making, sieving, blending, softening, basket loading, lever pressing, cooling, locking, and sun drying.
In 2008, Anhua Dark Tea Production Technique was listed as a representative project of national intangible cultural heritage.
