Xitang Huangjiu (Yellow Wine) Exhibition Hall

Xitang Huangjiu Exhibition Hall

The Huangjiu Exhibition Hall is located in the middle section of Chunjizhi Street, between Wan’an Bridge and Wolong Bridge in Xitang. It was renovated from a group of traditional buildings. As the largest huangjiu production site in China, it offers a glimpse into the brewing history of Xitang.

Huangjiu is one of the oldest beverages in China, with a history spanning thousands of years. Its brewing method is distinctly different from that of distilled spirits; it uses rice or millet as raw materials, which are steamed, saccharified, fermented, and then pressed to produce a low-alcohol brewed wine.
