These are the colors of the Cherry Blossoms. The blooming cherry blossoms are interwoven on the green tea hills. The highlight of this large tea hill is the burgundy plum tree with newly sprouted leaves. It looks like a smoldering torch.

This hill looks beautiful from any angle, but perhaps the ideal distance to admire the fanciful beauty of this tea hill is from afar or looking down from above. From above, the tea trees are neatly trimmed and meticulously cared for by the hands of tea pickers.

At the end of winter and early spring, the tea hill takes on a beautiful "new coat," the tea leaves are greener and fresher. Specifically, the best time to make a journey to explore this beautiful land is around December to January. In the winter, O Long Tea Hill is as beautiful as a painting. Fresh tea buds form a layer like a smooth carpet spreading across the mountains. When spring comes, the cherry blossoms bloom with a warm pink color.
