Longjing Tea is one of the ten new West Lake scenic spots. Longjing Spring is one of the three famous springs in West Lake, and Longjing tea brewed with Longjing Spring water is a must-try. Every year around the Qingming Festival, there are always many tourists who come here to visit, drink and ask about tea, which is the most enjoyable thing in spring outings.

There are two places in Longjing, one is Lao Longjing and the other is Xia Longjing. Lao Longjing has Longjing Spring and the abandoned Longjing Temple, as well as the 18 tea trees that Emperor Qianlong is said to have picked when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, the "18 imperial tea trees". After the renovation, the residential houses in Xia Longjing have become a unified farmhouse, with many farmhouses opened, making it a place for vacation and leisure.
