In August 2003, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ “Protection and Development and Utilization of the Thousand-acre Jingmai Ancient Tea Garden in Lancang” project research proposed that the Jingmai Thousand-acre Ancient Tea Garden is a biological treasure house, a cultural treasure house, a gold mine and a silver mine. It is a treasure house, a treasure house of ecological and cultural tourism and a treasure house of art. It has great scientific value, landscape value, cultural value and production and application value. It will become the birthplace of the world's tea, an important natural and cultural heritage, and the best preserved tea in the world. The most complete, oldest and largest artificially cultivated ancient tea garden is the root and source of world tea culture and a historical witness to the development of Chinese tea culture.

In 2007, Jingmai’s thousands-acre ancient tea garden was named one of the first batch of “Chinese Folk Cultural Heritage Tourism Demonstration Areas” for its unique natural resource advantages and remarkable effectiveness in protecting and utilizing folk cultural heritage.

Japanese tea experts Tomohiro Matsushita and Hiroyuki Yagi called Mount Jingmai "a miracle in the history of human tea culture" and "the World Museum of Tea Culture, History and Nature".

Jingmai Mountain is one of the six major tea mountains in China, and its thousand-year-old tea area is the largest tea mountain.
