Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time for tea picking?

Pre-Qingming (early April) is the most prized harvest. Late April-May is also good. Longjing tea picked in summer/autumn is lower grade.

Is there an entrance fee to Lingyin Temple?

Yes. Feilaifeng park ticket is ¥45, plus Lingyin Temple ticket ¥30. Total ¥75 (~$10) per person, paid on-site.

Can we buy tea directly from the village?

Yes, you can buy fresh Longjing tea directly from farmers. Prices range ¥200-2000/jin depending on grade. Our driver can help you identify quality.

Can we combine with West Lake?

Yes! We recommend: Morning Lingyin + Longjing, then late afternoon West Lake boat cruise. It makes a full day.

Is this suitable for seniors?

Yes. Lingyin Temple has relatively flat paths. Longjing Village has gentle hills. Cable car available for North Peak if desired.
