The Pinglu Canal is soon to open, bringing a historic opportunity for intangible cultural heritage along the route to spread across regions and build stronger brands. The Lingshan Black Tea is an intangible cultural heritage product of Qinzhou that was primarily passed on to successive generations by women. However, in the conventional stories of tea culture created by men, these women inheritors have been ignored over the years. The paper examines the problem of gender bias and underestimation of the value of storytelling in modern tea brands based on intensive interviews and study of female lineages and expertise in crafting Lingshan black tea. It suggests a value reconstruction approach that focuses on female stories. Integrating tea culture, female heritage, as well as canal tourism will allow us to find new means of combining cultural heritage of the intangible type with cultural tourism, and use the connectivity of the Pinglu Canal with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The conversion of the heritage and experience of female artisans into brand storytelling products can aid in increasing the market recognition and cultural worth of Lingshan Black Tea. It also provides a working solution to the problem of gender in regard to intangible cultural heritage on the canal, allowing such treasures not only to be seen, but also re-valued.
