Zhangjiajie is a special existence in Hunan. For a long time, Zhangjiajie was more prosperous than Changsha. I just remember that in the early years, if the national meeting of the original company was held in Hunan, everyone's first reaction was

What local specialties are there in Zhangjiajie, which is famous for its tourism? The author will give you a brief introduction below.
1. Maoyanberry tea Maoyanberry tea is a wild plant that grows in the primeval forests of Zhangjiajie. The Maoyanberry tea refined from it has the freshness and simplicity unique to this soil and water.
Maoyanberry, also known as Tujia nectar tea, Tujia divine tea, also commonly known as longevity vine, Ganoderma lucidum grass, eyebrow tea, vine tea, bitter nectar, Wuyuan snow chrysanthemum, Maoyanberry tea Guanyin grass, mountain sweet tea, dragon whisker tea, etc.
.
The wild Maoyanberry cannot be artificially transplanted at present. According to scientific research, this plant only grows in the red sandstone of the Zhangjiajie primeval forest at an altitude of 800 to 1,300 meters above sea level after being wiped out by glaciers in the fourth century.
A rare species whose environment is free from any pollution.
Most of them only survive in Zhangjiajie, my country, at an altitude of 800 to 1,300 meters. Maoyanberry has both medicinal efficacy and food nutrition. It is currently the wild plant with the highest flavonoid content and the most nutritious ingredients in the world.
Because it is widely believed that its plant is the sacred willow that Guanyin Bodhisattva can tap to cure diseases and eliminate disasters, and sweep it away to prolong life, the local Tujia people are also called Tujia nectar tea.
