China Wine Capital Sauce-Flavor Liquor Culture Memorial Hall

China Wine Capital Sauce-Flavor Liquor Culture Memorial Hall is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Maotai Town has long been a famous town in northern Guizhou. Historically, it was described as "Sichuan salt travels to Guizhou, and merchants from Shaanxi gather in Maotai." It is a sacred place of Chinese sauce-flavor liquor, with a thriving liquor industry in the region. In 1915, Maotai liquor won a gold medal at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition, and in 1935, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army crossed the Chishui River four times during the Long March in Maotai. The town combines ancient salt culture, the Long March culture, and liquor culture, and is hailed as the "No. 1 Liquor Town in China," the "World's Primary Sauce-Flavor Liquor Production Area," and the "Core Area of China's Wine Capital."

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Renhuai in Guizhou has thrived on salt trade and excelled in liquor production. The memorial hall was established in this small Guizhou town rich in historical and cultural heritage and traditional economic characteristics. The China Maotai Town Sauce-Flavor Liquor Culture Memorial Hall uses time as the central theme throughout the entire exhibition, aiming to promote and develop the historical culture of the "China Maotai Town Sauce-Flavor Liquor Culture Memorial Hall." The name of the "China Maotai Town Sauce-Flavor Liquor Culture Memorial Hall" was inscribed by the renowned writer He Jingzhi (author of The White-Haired Girl).

The designed area of the hall is 1,350 square meters. Dao Yang Design tailored the project based on the region’s unique brewing heritage, crafting an exquisite design primarily decorated with solid wood to showcase the rich characteristics of sauce-flavor liquor culture, earning high praise from clients.
