The Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape includes 5 ancient tea forests, 9 traditional villages and 3 separate shelter forests. The ancient Chinese people elucidated their understanding of "tea" when creating words. The top layer of the tea forest is made of tall trees, the middle is a layer of small trees and shrubs dominated by tea trees. Insects and birds that live in the forest help protect tea plants from pests. Fourteen species of wild plants under key protection in China, such as long-tailed single-chamber dogwood, grate-toothad and cylderwood, grow on the same land as tea plants.
