s said that Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty once made alchemy here. The tea produced near Longjing village is called Longjing tea, which is famous at home and abroad, according to the origin of lion, dragon, cloud, tiger, plum; namely, Lion peak, Longjing, Yunqi, Hurun and Meijiawu.
Dragon Well is a round spring pool, the drought does not dry, the ancients people thought that this spring connected with the sea, among them there was a dragon, so it was called Drgon Well, in Chinese Longjing. About 500 meters away from Longjing, there is Longjing Temple, commonly known as the old Longjing. Now the temple has been abandoned, and was secluded for a tea house.
The water of Longjing Spring consists of two parts: groundwater and surface water. The proportion of groundwater is large, so the groundwater is under, and the surface water is on the top. If the spring, water in the well is stirred with a rod, so the spring water below will turn to the surface of the water to form a circle of water line. When the local spring water sinks again, the water line gradually shrinks and eventually disappears, which is very interesting.
