Song of Mt. Jingmai released for UNESCO title

“Oh, that fabled place”, a song that describes the Jingmai Mountain natural beauty, was released days for the site’s ongoing application for the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status of 2022.

The song was written by Xu Rongkai and composed by Wan Li. Sun Nan, a most famed Chinese pop singer, performed it in his clear voice, rendering in the audience a unique sense of the beauty.  

Located in the southwest Yunnan’s Pu’er city, the Jingmai Mountain is famous for its natural and cultural landscapes in China, and it has the world’s best ancient tea plantation. Hailed as the "museum of ancient tea trees”, the mountain features about 1.13 million tea trees, the oldest of which is 1,400 years old. 

Jingmai was also listed as a “top 25 places for journey in 2022” by National Geographic (Nat Geo), an authorized American monthly magazine circulated worldwide.
