Introducing Pinglin
Pinglin (Pínglín), which means ‘forest on level ground’, is famous nationwide for its locally grown bao chung tea. Only an hour from Taipei by bus (about 24km east of Xindian), it is also well loved by day-trippers for its emerald mountain landscape, picture-perfect tea fields, scenic bike paths and clear, swimmable (and kayakable) rivers teeming with fish. The town also features the world’s largest tea museum, where you can learn not only how tea is grown and processed, but also how to drink it.
