Zhabei Park & Tea Wholesale Market
OUR GUIDE, Janny Chyn, will start our walk at the entrance of Zhabei Park (built in 1914). It is the only tea theme park in Shanghai. It is also a historical site with the tomb of Song Jiaoren, a Chinese republican revolutionary, political leader and a founder of the Kuomintang party.
In the park we will be among people participating in Tai Chi, ballroom dancing, calisthenics, and music performances. After our walk in the park, we will go to Daning International Tea City. This four-storey wholesale tea market targets area resellers. Here, the store manager will tell us about the products and provide tips in finding the best tea and tea wares. We will have plenty of time to wander through the many tea shops and sample teas (this is a cash only market). Sampling is the best way to learn about the tea, so sit, ask questions and sip away...
