South of Peng Garden stands a three-story tall imitation ancient building, constructed even more majestically than Peng Garden, exuding an air of classical elegance.
This is Qingzhou's largest tea market.
On the plaque under the third eave of the Drum Tower, two characters are inscribed: Tea Garden.
The Tea Garden is divided into three sections: the front is a tea trading market, the middle houses a tea culture exhibition hall, and deep within the Tea Garden lies the tea room.
The tea room is elegantly decorated, with sprawling bamboo groves visible through the windows and winding paths leading to tranquility.
Outside the bamboo curtains, musicians perform—sometimes on the erhu, sometimes on the guzheng—playing based on the guest's preferences.
The gentle murmuring of water and the timeless melody of the instruments weave together a scene of serene nights and distant elegance.
