LongJing is a
small village in the city of HangZhou. It is the producing place of
the LongJing tea. LongJing is named after the famous LongJing Spring
in the same area. The meaning of LongJing in English is “the Well of
Dragon”. It is a spring exposed on the rocks in the ground. It is
said that there is a dragon living in the water. That is why it is
called the well of dragon. It is even full of water in the drought
years. Many
 people
call it the third best spring. There is also a LongJing Temple built
by its side.
However, the
LongJing village is more well known for its LongJing Tea production.
The LongJing Spring is not as famous as another so-called “the third
best spring” HuPao Spring just a few miles from LongJing. The HuPao
water is also considered as the perfect match to the LongJing tea
instead of the LongJing water.
