[2025 Ziyang ] Travel Guide for Half Acre Tea Garden (Updated Apr)

| Fengyan Terraces and Ziyang. DAY1 Xi'an - Shuanghekou Ancient Town, Hanyin - Fengyan Ancient Terraces - Fenghuang Mountain Viewing Platform - Fengjiang Terraces Viewing Point - Fengjia Fort - Tiandi Tonghui Viewing Platform - Wujia Flower House - Ziyang - Ziyang Square DAY2 Ziyang - Half Acre Tea Garden - Five Province Guild Hall - Liushui Ancient Town - Zhashui Karst Cave - Xi'an The canola flowers have recently bloomed, but Hanzhong is sure to be crowded. That's why I chose to go to Ankang to see the canola flowers. On the expressway, I could see that everyone was going to Hanzhong to see the canola flowers. Every service area was packed. After leaving the Jingkun Expressway, there was no one there. Shuanghekou Ancient Town is a newly developed ancient town. There weren't many cars on the road, and the road was easy to drive on, but almost all the shops were closed, so there wasn't much to see. There are many viewing platforms at Fengyan Ancient Terraces, but many of them can't be found on the navigation. If you see a parking area by the road, stop and take a look. The Fengjiang Terraces Viewing Point is relatively far away. Not many canola flowers were planted this year, and the weather wasn't good, so the colors weren't very bright. The Tiandi Tonghui Viewing Platform has the best view, but you need to climb hundreds of steps. Fengjia Fort is larger in scale and more distinctive. The scenery on the way to Wujia Flower House is especially beautiful. Ziyang is not a big city, and it's not easy to park. It's all uphill and downhill, so it's a bit tiring to walk. Half Acre Tea Garden is still very beautiful for taking pictures. There are many teahouses around. If you have enough time, be sure to experience it. I tasted Ziyang Maojian tea, which was 68 yuan, cheaper than in Xi'an. The Five Province Guild Hall is just a place to feel the traces of history and learn about the Ancient Tea Horse Road. At Liushui Ancient Town, you can see the Han River. You need to take a boat to see several attractions.

Take a break from the fast-paced city life and drive to the Banyu Tea Garden in the Ziyang Tea Horse Road Scenic Area. The Muyu Tea Inn, which is in its trial operation phase, is located in the tea garden on the mountain top. As a tea culture-themed homestay created by Hanjiang Suji, Muyu Tea Inn boasts top-notch natural scenery and cultural conditions. With abundant sunshine all year round and morning mists, it defies the stereotype of Shaanxi and resembles the famous tea mountains in Yunnan. Follow the winding path in the park down the slope, with pine forests on the left and tea fields on the right, and you'll reach the treehouse area where you'll stay.

📍Detailed address: Search for 'Half-acre Tea Garden' in the navigation to find it 📝Note tips: Actually, the Half-acre Tea Garden is a tourist spot created by a company, occupying only a part of the land. The rest is still a large private tea garden, mixed together. The Half-acre Tea Garden charges 38 yuan per person and provides clothing to wear, which are relatively new. The private one charges 20 yuan per person and also provides clothing, but not as many ❤Recommended reason: It's great for taking photos when the weather is good, but you must use a reflector or flash because with the sun hat on, your face will be completely dark under the strong sunlight. Post-editing can only recover a little, but it still looks unnatural 🌟Highlights: After picking, the tea leaves can be stir-fried for you to take home, with a service fee of 200 yuan. One pot can fry up to two jins. We didn't pick much because it was too hot, but you can also stir-fry them with eggs when you get back.
