The photo, taken on April 27, shows farmers picking tea leaves at a "vine tea for longevity" plantation in Luotaping Township, Yongding District, Zhangjiajie. As a tourism agricultural specialty in Zhangjiajie, such vine tea has multiple effects such as resisting oxidation, reducing inflammatory, and wetting throat. In recent years, the local government has leveraged the advantages in natural and tourism resources to develop vine tea planting and processing which helped increase local farmers' income.
