The World No.1 China Tea Culture Expo Park in Zunyi
“The World’s No. 1 Teapot”(天下第一壶茶文化公园) is located atop Flame Mountain in Mitan Town, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. Construction began in 1999 and was completed in 2006. The tea culture park officially opened on October 20, 2010, and was honored with the title of “Top 10 Charming Scenic Spots in Guizhou.” It is a reinforced concrete structure covering an area of over 60,000 square meters, with a total building area of 5,000 square meters. “The World’s No. 1 Teapot” stands at 48.2 meters tall with a diameter of 24 meters, and holds the certification from the Shanghai World Guinness Headquarters as the “World Guinness Greatest.”
The giant teapot, standing atop Flame Mountain, offers comprehensive tourism features including tourism, leisure, and sightseeing within the teapot itself. Its laser lights on the teapot’s top can project various shapes into the night sky up to 20 kilometers away, making it a unique attraction in the park.

The park was developed with an investment of 80 million yuan by the Zunyi Elderly Village Group, adhering to the national AAAA-level tourist attraction standards. The completion of the park has created a new tourism landscape in Zunyi, known as the “Four Ones” tourist attractions: “One Floor (Zunyi Conference Site),” “One Bottle (Moutai Liquor),” “One Forest (Chishui Bamboo Sea),” and “One Teapot (The World’s No. 1 Teapot).” It embodies the concept of “Four Cleansing Experiences”: cleansing the mind at One Floor, cleansing the stomach with One Bottle, cleansing the lungs in One Forest, and cleansing the heart at One Teapot. It serves not only as a sanctuary for tourism, sightseeing, leisure, and vacationing but also shines as a dazzling gem on Zunyi’s boutique eco-tourism route.
