For the moment, however, Western travelers remain a rare sight in the ethnic villages and cloud-shrouded valleys of Jingmai. - National Geographic In recent years, semi-wild ancient tea trees older than 1000 years have been discovered in Jing Mai Mountain area, making it one of the earliest tea cultivation regions in the world. The Tea Tree Forest: JingMai Mountain's tea trees grow extensively in secondary growth tropical monsoon evergreen broad-leafed forests. Such forests have the arbor layer at the top, the shrub layer in the middle, and the vegetation layer at the bottom. Tall arbors such as Toona Ciliata and Ficus Microcarpa grow in the upper layer; the middle layer is dominated by ancient tea trees and decorated with plants such as Lauraceae, Ericaceae. The lower layer is covered by Gramineae and Herbs. Compared with common terraced tea plantations, this special multi-layered ecosystem plantation gives ancient Pu’er tea trees well-preserved soil fertility and effectively reduces disease and pest. In addition, JingMai Mountain's local people not only believe in Buddhism but also believe in the "tea ancestor." They host a grand ceremony to worship their ancestors who discovered tea. They call the most exuberant tea tree the "Tree of Tea Spirit." For over one thousand years, local people have built a friendly relationship with ancient tea trees and nature with respect. Jingmai Mountain is also part of the Ancient Tea Horse Route. Through the Ancient Tea Horse Route, tea culture was spreading all over the world.
