One of its major attractions is the 18 imperial trees beside the Hugong temple which Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) ordered the planting of. It is said that during a visit to Longji he heard his mother was ill and brought her back some tea which cured her and this gave rise to even more fame for the village's tea.
