Guyu also produces a world-renowned type of drink: Yu Qian Cha, or in English, the "tea before the Grain Rain". Tea leaves pickled before the Grain Rain is among the best-quality tea leaves. 

Meanwhile, in some areas, people believed that the tea leaves picked on the day of Grain Rain will brighten the eyes and drive away bad luck. Therefore, the habit of drinking tea at this time of year has gradually evolved into a tradition.

Despite a tradition of feeling sorry for the fading of spring in Chinese culture, it is not too late to take a walk before the coming of hot summer days. After all, Guyu is expected to bring a different view of spring's final phase.
