Langyatai Liquor

　　Langyatai Liquor is a specialty of Huangdao District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province. Known as the "Qingdao Little Moutai," Langyatai has been rated among Qingdao’s Top Ten Tourist Souvenirs multiple times and is the only liquor designated by the Qingdao Municipal People’s Government for official banquet receptions. Among the many varieties of Langyatai Liquor, ultra-low-alcohol options such as 30-degree Changsheng and 29-degree Hongmei, as well as 70-degree original brew and 71-degree Xiaolangao, are especially popular with both domestic and international consumers.

　　Langyatai is located on the banks of the Yellow River, within Qingdao. It was originally built by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Surrounded by sea on three sides and boasting stunning scenery, it is known as a "fairyland on earth" due to the legend that mirages can be seen from its heights. Below Langyatai lies a spring whose water is used in brewing. Historically, this area was part of the Qi State territory. After unifying China, Emperor Qin Shi Huang established Langya Commandery here.

　　The brewing history of Langyatai Liquor dates back over two thousand years, originating during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, flourishing in the Qin and Han dynasties, and reaching its peak during the Tang and Song dynasties. The Qin and Han periods were a crucial phase in the development of Langyatai Liquor, laying the foundation for its future success.

　　The "Langyatai" brand liquor is produced using the traditional "Old Five-Grain Steamer" method, along with multi-round fermentation and vapor infusion techniques. These methods give the "Langyatai" brand its distinctive characteristics of strong cellar aroma, smooth sweetness, clean finish, and long-lasting aftertaste—hallmarks of strong-aroma Baijiu.

　　The product has won titles such as Qingdao Famous Brand and Shandong Famous Brand. It has been recognized as one of Shandong Province’s Top Ten Baijiu Industry Brand Products and a Recommended Chinese Famous Brand Product in the Shandong Baijiu industry. It has also been awarded the Shandong Food Industry Best Quality Prize and designated as a Shandong Provincial Inspection-Exempt Product. In 2006, the "Langyatai" trademark was recognized as a Well-Known Trademark of China.

　　The "Langyatai" brand liquor includes the following series: products such as "29° Hongmei" and "38° Zhonghua Gong"; the "He" series such as "He Yun" and "He Ya"; the "Yunlang" series such as "Qingyunlang" and "Hongyunlang"; high-alcohol products such as "70° Original Brew" and "71° Xiaolangao." The 70° Original Brew is a differentiated product first introduced nationwide by Qingdao Langyatai Group, mainly comprising two major series: 70° Langyatai Original Brew and 71° Langyatai Xiaolangao.
