Xinyang

In regional terms, the clearest first clue to Xinyang is “Xinyang Maojian tea, the summer retreat of Jigong Mountain and Nanwan Lake give Xinyang its character on the northern slopes of the Dabie Mountains.” Together, environmental, historical, and cultural elements give Xinyang a profile that can be distinguished from nearby places. Continuing local life gave inherited spaces new uses and memories, allowing historical layers and contemporary activity to coexist. Today, the interaction between environment and society remains visible in landscape, urban texture, daily activity, and local memory.
