Spring tea leaves are ready for picking at the Yunhai Tea Garden, Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China's Guizhou Province.

Benefiting from a special climate and geographic conditions, tea-picking here begins earlier than in other areas in the province. Being one of the key counties for tea production, Pingtang County has a history that dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
