[4k,60fps] Visit Anxi County, capital of Oolong Tea, and origin of Qingshui master 安溪：乌龙茶之都，千年清水祖师之源

Anxi County 安溪县 is a county of the prefecture-level city of Quanzhou, in southern Fujian province, People's Republic of China. It lies adjacent to and directly north of Xiamen city.
Anxi is well known for a number of varieties of Oolong tea, the best-known of which is Tieguanyin (铁观音, "Iron Boddhisatva of Mercy"). Anxi Tieguanyin (安溪铁观音) is classified as one of the Top 10 Chinese Tea.
Qingshui 清水 (1047-1101), also known as Chó͘-su-kong 祖師公, born Chen Zhaoying 陳昭應 was a Chan Buddhist monk during the Northern Song from Anxi County, Quanzhou. He was said to have gained supernatural powers through his skill in learning and preaching the Dharma and meditation. Through this, he is said to have saved the town of Anxi during a period of drought, bringing rain as he went from place to place. In reverence, the villagers built shrines to him and hence became a Deity in Chinese folk religion.
Worship of Qingshui Zushi (清水祖师) is especially popular in Taiwan, where he is worshiped by local villagers for protection and in overseas Hokkien-speaking communities. His birthday is celebrated on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
