WUYISHAN, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Wuyishan, a major tea production base in China, is home to the well-known Wuyi rock tea, a type of oolong tea. Its tea making technique was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006, and was part of the "traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China" enlisted in 2022 as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.
