Description

Huashan Teahouse A sacred mountaintop temple offers a damn fine cup of tea to visitors who can survive the journey. The teahouse is one of the many Taoist temples to be found on each of the five peaks that make up Mt. Huashan. As the original inhabitants practiced asceticism, and didn't make a habit of traveling, they daily meditation was heavily accented by drinking tea. For this reason, over the years, this temple has turned into a teahouse. When seen on a map, the mountain range forms a sort of flower shape. The temple was built here because each of the five peaks needed to be populated in order to complete the flower. Mt. Huashan is located in Huayin, a city 120km east of Xi'an in the Shaanxi Province of China.
