Yada Agricultural Park with lush plants, creeks, and rich ecology integrates modern agriculture, ecological agriculture, and sightseeing agriculture organically, hoping to realize people’s idyllic life ideals.


In light and windy days, we come to green tea garden, soft soil under feet, grass whispering by ears, and birds chirping. We breath the fragrance of air, body is relaxed and heart feels satisfied.


Tea picking and tea drying keep us busy. The frying through both hands makes tea smell overflowing. Our body and mind are intoxicated.


In this immersive cultural experience, people share their experiences, exchange tea ceremony, and find the intimate relationship which has long been remembered.



In the afternoon, the residents move to Yada Life Bookstore to appreciate tea art and taste Yangxian tea.

Life aesthetics Course - Fragrant Wax Making


Oriental life aesthetics advocating elegance and demureness. Early in the morning, you wake up when hearing a birdsong. At night, you sleep in the moonlight. A little bit of refinement could make life different.


On the afternoon of April 6th, in the hand-crafted classroom of Yada Academy, the first course of life aesthetics series-"Fragrant Wax Making" started as scheduled.


Everyone's perception of smell is unique, so aromatic essential oils can best reflect personal taste: lemon, refined; bergamot, delicate; lavender, sweet; woody, elegant.


Natural gifts not only give us an enjoyable cultural experience, but also awaken our longing for elegant lifestyle.


From fragrances selecting, waxes melting to flower graphics designing, forming and solidifying, each step has been done by residents themselves and carefully carved.


When the exquisite and small fragrant wax has been finally presented, it is so unique.


That ray of aroma that seems absent and refreshing, blends into our emotions and thoughts, and is inscribed as the best memory in the bottom of our heart.



The residents have learnt from and enjoyed the fragrant wax making course, as well as harvested an exquisite portable object, which enriched the internal cultivation.


What is even more rare is that in such courses, everyone can make more like-minded friends, so that the dream of studying at a young age can be re-emerged, grown and continued in Yada Academy.
