A narrow 2 km valley in the scenic core, one of the 'three pits'; home of Shui Jin Gui and of 'Niu Rou' Rougui, the most hyped and most faked shanchang tea.

The core Niulankeng garden is reported at about 20–30 mu, with estimates of annual output ranging widely. Chinese investigations describe far more 'Niulankeng' tea for sale than could exist, including outright repackaging of ordinary Rougui. See Wuyi Rougui.
The peak under which the Shui Jin Gui mother bush grows is printed 社葛寨 on zh Wikipedia; most trade texts write 杜葛寨. Likely a typo on one side; unverified.
An investigation by The Paper (澎湃新闻) reported the core garden area as only twenty to thirty mu, producing roughly 500 kg, while "Niulankeng Rougui" was sold in far greater quantity, with sub-areas rebranded ("牛首", "牛肚", "牛尾") to extend the name. Any listing claiming Niulankeng origin should be treated as an unverified claim.
