Jingting Mountain, celebrated by Li Bai, a legendary Chinese poet of Tang Dynasty (618-907), has long been renowned for its poetic charm. As a core production area of green tea, the mountain is surrounded by more than 10,000 mu (about 666.67 hectares) of tea gardens. In recent years, local authorities have leveraged Jingting Mountain's unique natural resources and cultural heritage to deeply integrate tea cultivation with tourism. Now, many tourists come to experience the delightful blend of tea aroma and poetic landscapes as the tea-harvesting season here has begun. (Xinhua/Zhang Duan)
