Located in Bomi county, Nyingchi prefecture, at an average altitude of more than 2,000 m, the Yigong Tea Plantation was the first large-scale tea farm in Tibet Autonomous Region. Currently developing its Snow Plateau Tea and Red Yigong brands as part of efforts to expand eco-cultural tourism in the area, the plantation also hopes to harness the combination of tourism and tea production to promote the development of new tea farms.
