Pinglin District

Pinglin District is an administrative area in the mountains of southeastern New Taipei, stretching across green hills. The landscape consists of tea plantations, forested slopes, and small villages nestled into the terrain.

The region developed from general agriculture into a center for quality tea production, particularly pouchong tea. Farmers achieved this shift through decades of experimentation and technical improvements.

Tea farming shapes daily life throughout the district, passed down through family traditions. You see tea fields everywhere and locals speak proudly about their craft.

Visitors can arrive via Highway No. 5 or regular bus services 923 and Green 12. There are straightforward routes to the tea fields and museums, though paths on the slopes can be steep.

The Pinglin Tea Museum holds one of the world's largest collections of tea processing equipment and crafted items. The exhibits display historical machinery and tools that bring the production process to life for visitors.
