Qihe Liquor

Qihe Liquor

　　Qihe is the only unpolluted river in northern China to date. The Book of Songs records: “Gaze upon that Qi riverbank, where lush green bamboo sways” and “The Qi River flows gently, with cypress oars and pine boats; set forth on a journey to ease my woes.” The Qihe River earned its name for its crystal-clear, pure waters rich in minerals. Qihe Liquor is crafted by the people of Qihe, who inherit the legacy of their ancestors and unearth ancient brewing secrets, using pristine water sources and high-quality ingredients such as sorghum, wheat, and barley. Combining these with modern brewing techniques, the liquor is meticulously produced. It boasts a full-bodied texture, is crystal clear, and has been praised by experts as having a rich cellar aroma, mellow and clean taste, sweet smoothness, and a long-lasting finish. In 2003, it was designated by the municipal government as the official reception liquor for welcoming guests.
