National Tea Museum

Reviewed By BillPNo1 - Friendswood, United States

While in Hangzhou, we were treated to a very informative and interesting visit to the Tea Plantation at the National Tea Museum. We were able to view every stage off the tea growing and processing, preparing and consuming process. We saw the tea bushes growing in their orderly rows, covering the hillsides and mountains; and then up close where we were able to pick our own little tealet sprigs after our guide explained what we were looking for while picking the tiny new shoots. Inside, we were able to view the processing operation and then at large table around the demo room, we were instructed in the proper way to prepare and consume green tea.For someone, who had previously only dunked a tea bag (floor sweepings!) into boiling water, it was very informative and interesting. Leave some time in your visit to see the tea plantation.

Ningbo Museum

Reviewed By Synthomer - Shanghai, China

An eye catching and unusual - and successful - building set in a small park. The exhibits largely centre on local history (there was also a good one on Xinjiang) but there is plenty of it in Ningbo which has always been an important port and played an important role for most of Chinese history. The exhibits are beautifully and clearly displayed. There is quite a lot of English but not everything is translated but, unless you are a devotee, this doen't really matter. About 6km from the city centre, a RMB 20 taxi ride but definitely worth the detour, if you are in Ningbo. There is a small cafe on the roof

Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Hu Qing Yu Tang)

Reviewed By 70ava - Beijing, China

There are a few of those active pharmacies of traditional Chinese medicine, each interesting and different in its own way, That one is special because of the very informative museum it has (with lots of English explanations and a few English tours a day) and also because of the amazing 19th century Qing dynasty immense building that houses the place. You can talk to the doctors/pharmacists, and watch them preparing the various medicines. It is an informative and special museum we have not seen anywhere else in Asia. The presentation of the various herbs, flowers, minerals and animals used in TCM is well presented and fascinating. Worth at least 2 hours of your time.
