Longjing asks for tea

Longjing asks for tea You are teaching yoga in Hangzhou, The green waves of West Lake reflect the sunset. The cool breeze gently announces the arrival of spring, Looking far into the dragon year, flowers are blooming. When I come to Hangzhou and have a little leisure, I always like to go to Longjing Village for a look and have a cup of Longjing tea. 'The world's famous tea is Longjing, and the top grade of Longjing is in Lion Peak.' When Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he tasted West Lake Longjing tea at Hu Gong Temple at the foot of Lion Peak Mountain in Longjing Village. After drinking, he praised it and sealed the eighteen tea trees in front of the temple as 'Imperial Tea'. Driving on Longjing Road, opening the car window, the refreshing wind is like the spring breeze coming slowly, and I have long forgotten the cold winter.
