The Macaque Domestication Garden is the place where macaques live. Living in the valleys or on the cliffs, they are good at climbing and can move swiftly. There are five groups of macaques with a total number of about 600. Sometimes they walk in groups in the mountains and forests. Though wild and raised freely, three groups of macaques can meet visitors after a period of domestication.

Lu Quan, assumedly named Yuchuanzi, was born in Sili Village of Jiyuan. As a poet and tea immortal in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Quan is famous for his ability of sampling and assessing tea. He spent his whole life studying tea and tea ceremony and worked out The Book of Tea which is preserved in Beijing Library.

Many teas of Jiyuan area were developed by Lu Quan, such as rabdosia tea, which can wet whistle, be antipyretic and treat cancers. Another stone tea, growing on the steep cliffs of Jiuligou, after being processed, can be antipyretic and diuretic. Legend has it that Lu Quan often made tea and composed poetry in Jiuligou. His tea songs developed into tea ceremonies or cha-no-yu in Japan. Thus, Lu Quan is acknowledged as the creator of tea ceremony and had been famed in Japan long time ago.

The buildings here are characterized by stone materials, such as stone walls, stone tiles, stone windows, stone thresholds, etc. The one-thousand-year stone door can still open and close freely. The style of the architecture mirrors the Taoist culture—to achieve harmony between human and nature by tiny structures and simple decorations.
