 I've been wanting to visit this tea garden for a long time, but it's a bit far away. 
Finally, I took the opportunity to visit Yingde and came to see it ✌️ 
Is it worth coming to the tea garden to watch the sunset 🌅? 
There are two routes to go up the mountain to watch the sunset: 
The two routes are not connected. One goes halfway up the mountain and the other goes to the top of the mountain. But if you have good physical strength, it is recommended to take both routes! After walking route 1️⃣, return to the foot of the mountain and then walk route 2️⃣ 
1️⃣ Wanfengling Route 
This route only takes 20 minutes to walk to the Wanfengling sunset viewing platform halfway up the mountain. The whole route is a sloping road that is not exposed to the sun and is easy to walk! You can rest at the tea pavilion on the way and enjoy the tea garden scenery 🍃 up close. There is also a viewing platform here, which is relatively less crowded and is surrounded by railings. 
2️⃣ Xingyuanling Route 
Most people choose this route, which is a relatively steep slope and takes about 30 minutes to walk (the sightseeing car queues for more than an hour on holidays 😭, the electric car takes 6 minutes to reach the top of the mountain, it's better to walk). There is a camping site on the mountain, and you need to book a set meal to have a tent. The top of the mountain has a wide view with no obstructions, but there are so many people! You can also buy tea-flavored ice cream here 🍦 
The weather is good! It's really beautiful to climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset. 
In the distance is the Yingxi Fenglin, which looks like the landscape of Guilin 🌳 
If you think Guilin is far away, it's not bad to come here first. 
I would like to call it the Guilin substitute! Haha~ 
You can also try the famous Yingde black tea ☕️ 
🔍 Qingyuan T San Fenglin Tea Valley 
🎫 The ticket is 40 per person 💰 The sightseeing car is 25 for a round trip 💰, it is recommended to buy separately 
🅿️ Parking is free but there are very few spaces! It is recommended to go early! Otherwise, if you park on the far side of the road and walk in, it will be too tiring 😭
