Pinglin Tea Museum, New Taipei City, Tea museum in New Taipei City, Taiwan
Pinglin Tea Museum is a museum in Shuide Village in New Taipei City dedicated to tea culture and local traditions. Three exhibition halls display traditional cultivation methods, processing techniques, and various tea leaf varieties grown in the region.
The museum was founded in 1997 in a Fujianese-style building featuring circular courtyards and round doors. This architectural style reflects centuries-old construction traditions from the region.
The name Pinglin comes from the local term for the flat tea gardens that define this area. Visitors walking through notice how this landscape shapes the way people interact with the space and what they see around them.
The museum is accessible from outside, with clear paths leading to the exhibition halls inside. Visitors should allow time to explore both the indoor exhibitions and the ecological grounds at the back.
Behind the museum lies an ecological park with a tea flower forest and a carp pool. The park is home to rare insect species native to the region, offering visitors a natural retreat.
