Huxinting Teahouse

Built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Huxinting Teahouse is located in the middle of a small goldfish filled lake. The teahouse was originally part of the Yu Garden, which is now located across from it. The teahouse was a pavilion named Fuyiting (Joyful Mallard Pavilion). In 1784, during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), several merchants restored the pavilion to use for business talks. In 1855, the pavilion was turned into a teahouse which was renamed Huxinting (Mid-lake Pavilion). It is the oldest continually operating teahouse in Shanghai.

The teahouse is a wonderful example of traditional Chinese architecture and is a fantastic place to stop and drink some Chinese tea. The teahouse is located between the Yu Garden and the Yuyuan Market making it a fantastic place to people-watch and is a meeting place for many people. The teahouse offers a large selection of Chinese teas and is brewed with pure mineral water. Traditional local tea snacks are included with the tea.

The Huxinting Teahouse is beautiful during the day, but at night it really shines. It is lit up with beautiful lighting and its reflection in the calm water is a fantastic experience. The teahouse is very quiet at night and it is a great place to relax after a full day of touring.
