Originally cultivated in the 21st year (1485) of Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it sits in Bingdao Village of Mengku Town, Shuangjiang County, Lincang City. There have been about 1,000 ancient tea plants with the diameter ranging from 0.3 to 0.6 meter. In 1761, the 11th Dai ethnic chieftain of Shuangjiang married his daughter to the local chieftain of Shunning, and what was included in the dowry was several hundreds of kilogrammes of tea seeds dedicated to Fengqing. And for more than 500 years, tea trees originating from Bingdao have been directly and indirectly spread to many tea-planting areas. Fengqing County alone, for example, has a planting scale of at least 600,000 mu (40,000 hectares).
