Shanghai: Crouching Tiger Bamboo Forest & White Tea Trip

Escape to Anji's bamboo forests from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Walk endless bamboo groves, visit white tea gardens, and taste famous Anji Baicha.
Journey from Shanghai to Anji County in Zhejiang Province, home to China's most spectacular bamboo forests and the birthplace of premium white tea. This full-day private tour takes you into the heart of the Anji Bamboo Sea (安吉竹海), the filming location for the iconic bamboo forest scenes in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Walk through towering bamboo groves that seem to stretch endlessly, their green canopy creating a natural cathedral of light and shadow. Your English-speaking guide shares insights about bamboo cultivation, its importance in Chinese culture, and the ecological significance of these ancient forests.

After exploring the bamboo sea, visit an organic Anji White Tea plantation where the famous Anji Baicha (安吉白茶) is grown. Despite its name, this is actually a green tea known for its pale color and exceptionally smooth, umami-rich flavor. Tour the tea gardens, learn about the unique cultivation methods that make Anji white tea prized worldwide, and participate in a tea tasting session where you'll sample multiple grades of this liquid gold.

Your day includes a traditional local lunch featuring Anji specialties, comfortable private transportation from Shanghai, and the expertise of a knowledgeable guide who brings this tranquil countryside to life.
