Dongting lake Tea

This lake is situated in the Hunan Province in China. I always visit the city of Yueyang when I go to China to enjoy the food, the pavilion and most importantly my in laws.
The tea is produced on a small island that you can reach by boat during the raining season or by road during the rest of the year.
It is an expensive tea. If you have the occasion to buy it is worth trying this tea.
If you are having a walk on this island, you can discover a lot of temples dedicated to the local gods.
 Some locals still made some offering to them.
The tea fields are all over the island, and it is a pleasant to walk through these tea fields. It will take you around one hour to go around the island.

But you can also walk around the small lake inside this island populated with some hungry fish. When you feed the fishes, with seeds bought to the local salesman, you can see all these fishes very colorful jumping everywhere and fighting to get the food. Usually kids enjoy the show but the adults as well...
There are also some monkeys inside the the island. If you walk a bit late in the evening and the guard is not there anymore you can pass and see the monkeys for free.
