Overview

This journey offers a carefully curated immersion where the aroma of ancient tea blends with the architectural legacy of international concessions—a multi-sensory exploration of how Hankou’s tea trade shaped global history.

Begin your journey where Hankou’s tea legacy touched the world. This experience symbolises the convergence of Chinese tea culture and European demand.

Muse Art Gallery, Yunlee Banking Corporation (Built 1946). Step into a repurposed bank vault that once secured fortunes from the tea trade. Located in the former British Concession, this space embodies the financial power that supported Hankou’s global commerce. Today, it fuses historical finance with contemporary art.

Explore Hankou’s earliest luxury apartments. This mansion—nestled near the old Russian Concession—stands as a monument to the wealth and cultural exchange generated by the tea trade. Its architecture reflects the opulence and foreign influence that once dominated Hankou’s landscape.
