TOUR OVERVIEW
A route that works on the ground
Over 6 days, 6-Day Jingmai Tea Forest & Tropical Garden links Arrival on Jingmai Mountain with Menglun to Jinghong Departure, taking in Old Tea Forest Walk, Wengji Blang Village, Jinghong and Dai Culture, Tropical Botanical Garden along the way. Travel from Pu’er or Jinghong, settle into a village guesthouse and take a gentle orientation walk. Jingmai’s old tea forest sits around 1,300–1,700 metres; a 2–4 kilometre shaded walk passes ancient tea trees, spirit pillars and Blang or Dai homes rather than a landscaped plantation. Return from the botanical-garden area to Jinghong for an afternoon airport or railway-station transfer; add a final night for an early departure. Taste tea beside the hearth, compare hand-rolled and sun-dried leaves, and leave time for a simple rice-and-herb meal prepared by the village host. The route is best suited to curious travelers who want local context alongside the main sights, with the daily emphasis on tea landscapes, village life and small-scale cultural encounters. Opening hours, traffic and local access are checked during the trip, allowing the guide to reorder visits when needed.

Two nights on the mountain allows villages, tea forest and changing light; add Pu’er or Xishuangbanna for a five-to-seven-day tea route. Final train or flight times should be confirmed before fixing the last day; when timings change, sightseeing is shortened instead of adding an unrealistic transfer.
