The Ancient Tea Tribute Path boasts convenient transportation, with some sections well-preserved. It starts from Jinshan Village in Shuikou and ends at Beichuan Village in Jiapu, spanning approximately 13.89 kilometers. Along the way, the path is accompanied by babbling brooks and lush green bamboo, with the mottled stone paths telling the stories of generations who transported the prized Zisun tea tribute from here. The forest coverage of the Ancient Tea Tribute Path is 93%, with the primary vegetation being Moso bamboo. To the southwest of the path lies the Xiang Yu Pond scenic area, and to the northeast is the Xiangshan scenic area. Standing atop Mount Yao, one can gaze eastward towards Taihu Lake. Points of interest include the ruins of Shimen Temple, the Song and Yuan dynasties’ ancient path at Shimen Mountain, Monkey Stone, and Qin’s Residence.
