Covering a total area of approximately 6,000 square meters, the rooftop tea gardens feature West Lake’s famous Longjing tea, a variety of green tea grown in Hangzhou. Hangzhou’s high-rise tea gardens give visitors the joy of viewing the breathtaking city skyline while experiencing tea harvesting.
In addition to creating a picturesque urban scenery, the rooftop tea gardens also offer practical benefits such as providing shade during the hot summer months, which helps reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the buildings below.
This particular complex has become a model project for other rooftop greening initiatives in Hangzhou, blending urban tourism with traditional tea culture.
