Yangjiatang Guide

Yangjiatang sits 200 m above Songyang city in the hills of Zhejiang, China. Lush green tea plantations, mountain creeks and ancient forests surround the village. You come to Yangjiatang for the landscape.

The view is the main event. People have compared it to the Potala Palace complex in Lhasa, and centuries-old camphor trees frame it. Yangjiatang is famed for its 500-year-old camphor trees, which line a short trail winding through the houses and the tea fields.

From Yangjiatang, that short trail also leads on to Xitian (酉田), Houwan (后湾), Songzhuang (松庄) and other mountain villages. Little else is known about the sights, so treat the walk itself as your plan.
