Hangzhou-Tea Museum

Unfortunately, clouds are now covering the skies of Hangzhou and it's been raing so we canceled the plans to move to a nearby city and we decided to visit some museums and do some shopping.
We are leaving tonight at 23:00 for Wuhan, so we still have a day in Hangzhou.
Yesterday, we have visited the Chinese National Tea Museum, the only chinese museum dedicated to tea.
It's located a little outside of the city, in the middle of the surrounding hills, circled by tea fields.
A really beautiful area. The Museum was nearly desert and that's a shame because that really was a pretty museum. It shows the history of Tea and many ustensils and tea wares from different periods.
