The "Taipei City Tieguanyin and Baozhong Tea Research and Promotion Center" is located in Maokong and was completed in 1985. It features a tea exhibition area that introduces tea knowledge, such as the tea making process and methods for tasting tea. A tea art instruction area offers pre-booked interpretive and teaching services on weekdays, while volunteers provide free guided tours on weekends and holidays. The outdoor education area, located on the hill behind the center, cultivates various plants including osmanthus, camellias, cherry blossoms, and green maples. It also features a parent-child recreation area, a tea plantation, an ecological pond, a weather observation deck, and an artificial rainfall erosion trough, all designed to introduce knowledge about soil and water conservation and help the public understand its importance. The center combines agriculture, life, culture, and leisure, providing citizens with an excellent venue for recreational activities and guiding them to gain a deeper understanding of the tea industry and culture in the Muzha area. The Tea Promotion Center organizes 20 tea experience activities annually, including tea picking, tea art instruction, and tea snack making. On Saturdays and Sundays, volunteers are scheduled to provide free guided tours and explanations on-site. On weekdays (Tuesday to Friday), only group reservations are accepted.
