- Passport and campus name
The museum’s campuses provide the clearest structured introduction to Chinese tea, but travelers often navigate to the wrong location.
For foreign visitors, the useful plan is not only what to see but which entrance, identity document, transport connection and exit make the visit work. Save “中国茶叶博物馆” in Chinese before leaving your hotel.
Quick answer
Confirm whether you want the Shuangfeng or Longjing campus, check the current reservation route and save the exact Chinese campus name before taking a taxi.
