Shuijingfang Museum

Not far from the Dongmen Bridge is the Shuijingfang ruins, which is now also the production site of Shuijingfang. There you can learn about the history of Quanxing and Shuijingfang.

The architect Liu Jiakun's masterpiece, the light shows the interior space of the building vividly, accompanied by the aroma of wine lees, it is worth a visit~ When I went there, the young lady who explained the work was also very active. Although it costs 50 yuan to visit, it is also worth it~

This is a "factory" that was produced according to the original process at the site of the Shuijing Street Winery 600 years ago. On one side are the ruins of the ancient wine cellar, and on the other side are the wine cellars that have resumed production. Modern and ancient civilizations have completely overlapped! What a wonderful and romantic feeling!

What’s more interesting is that through the study of stratigraphic relationships and unearthed cultural relics, it is proved that the layout characteristics of the site belong to the typical “liquor workshop” in ancient China, with the nature of “shop in front and workshop in the back”, which is clearly the origin of modern “experiential marketing”! The liquor workshop exudes bursts of liquor aroma, and the diners of the hotel are completely immersed in the rich taste. How can they resist this temptation? Maybe every day the workshop will take out a few spoonfuls of freshly brewed puree for a few lucky drinkers to taste for free, so that everyone can comment and give opinions and suggestions...

Although I don't drink much, the wine culture of Greater China has a long history, so I should still learn about it. The ticket seems a bit expensive, but I also got a free tasting of the original wine. The guide can be said to be very professional, and he answered all the questions fluently. The miniature model in the museum can show the restoration map of the ancient Chengdu East Gate area, as well as the 3D image, which is very intuitive.

There were masters operating on site. After watching the entire wine-making process in the museum, I gained a new understanding of the history and development of Shuijingfang. I feel that the price of the ticket is worth it.

I have always heard of Shuijingfang Museum. Thanks to China-TravelNote for giving me the opportunity to visit it. I will definitely record it well.



Location: I always thought the museum was near Jiuyan Bridge, but it is actually near Shuijin Bridge on Zhuobao Street. You can see it after crossing the bridge.



The price is 50 yuan for tickets, and 39 yuan for purchase on Dianping.com. However, you must make an appointment by phone in advance. I didn’t make an appointment for the first time, so I could only look around in the lobby. Once you have an appointment, you can go down to the wine cellar to visit.



Opening hours: 9 am, 7 pm is the latest entry time, and 8 pm is closed



After entering the museum and completing registration, the staff will introduce the historical background of Shuijingfang, the ancient street 600 years ago, the origin of Shuijing Street and other historical stories in the lobby.



Then I followed the staff to the ruins hall, where there are 600-year-old wine distillation sites and wine cellars. The staff said that live bacteria were first discovered in the wine cellar from the lees 600 years ago. These live bacteria are also used in the current wine vats, so drinking Shuijingfang now is like drinking 600 years of history.



Then came the wine technology hall, which is where the wine is steamed and taken. Due to technical reasons, photography is not allowed in this area. After listening carefully to the staff's explanation, the masters who were just taking the wine handed us a cup of freshly brewed wine, which had a very strong taste. The staff introduced that the raw wine needs to be mixed with wines of different years in order to truly feel the mellow aroma of the wine.



I learned a lot about the wine-making process and wine culture. It was a very good experience.

It's my first time here. I like the detailed explanation of the tour guide. I drank Shuijingfang's original liquor, which was a bit heartburning, but it was really mellow. Next time, I plan to bring my father, who has a good drinking experience, to experience it.

From Quanxing to Shuijingfang, I always knew it was there. But as the saying goes, the darkest place is under the lamp. I have passed by it countless times but never went in. Thanks to China-TravelNote for giving me the opportunity to experience it.



A living museum, a museum with the aroma of wine.



The winemaking process that has been passed down for hundreds of years can still be presented to visitors today. If you want to taste the freshly brewed liquor, that's fine! ---Autumn Winemaking Experience Week

I was very happy to have the opportunity to visit the Shuijingfang Museum nearby, especially my little friend who went with me and gained a lot. 600 years of continuous inheritance has made Shuijingfang what it is today, and has also added to the richness of Chengdu, a famous historical and cultural city. The only thing that made my little friend unhappy was that he was not eligible to participate in the wine tasting, and he was still pouting when he went out.

It was beyond your expectation. Through the wonderful explanation of the tour guide, you will appreciate the origin, history, and inheritance of Sichuan distilled liquor, as well as our splendid wine culture. Watch the autumn brewing process up close and taste the unblended distilled liquor. If Mr. Taibai was here, he would definitely write immortal poems. This visit, like traveling through time, made me appreciate a different world.

Who says that the aroma of wine is afraid of being hidden in a remote alley? As soon as I walked into Shuijing Street, a faint aroma of wine hit me in the face. The closer I got to the museum, the stronger the smell of wine became. After entering the museum, I not only learned a lot of wine knowledge under the guidance of the tour guide, but also visited the autumn brewing process of Shuijingfang and tasted the raw wine just distilled by the brewing master. The most important thing is that I personally mixed a bottle of white wine according to my own taste and took it home. Friends who like white wine culture can come and experience it~

Come to make up the record.

I visited it on Saturday and I still have a lot of feelings about it. I am determined to visit all the museums around Chengdu in the future.

This time, I won the chance to experience their autumn brewing ceremony. I am also a baijiu lover, so I reserved Saturday for it. It was totally worth the trip!

What kind of experience is it? It is a place that friends who like wine or want to know about Chengdu’s history or customs must come to check in! You can clearly experience the epitome of life in old Chengdu hundreds of years ago, and you can also deeply feel the 600-year-old sense of Shuijingfang. The liquor culture of our great Sichuan and the comfort and ease of Chengdu can all be tasted from this special cup of Shuijingfang.

In addition, there are also foreign liquors on display in the exhibition hall, so this can be considered a journey to get a lot of useful information about wine.

The most rewarding thing was of course the VIP experience of the Autumn Brewing Ceremony. I was so busy admiring and participating in the Autumn Brewing that I forgot to take photos during that period. I can only rely on words to recall it. I wonder if the Autumn Brewing Ceremony will be open to the public next year. If so, it is definitely worth coming again.

Shuijingfang's autumn brewing ceremony is an intangible cultural heritage. The Shuijingfang intangible cultural heritage team took everyone to experience the brewing process. Each process was extremely intoxicating and full of ritual. This is what great country craftsmanship is. And the small bottle of original puree special blended by hand should be the only one in the world, hahahahaha!

Moreover, not far from the museum is Lan Kwai Fong and the bar street.

So do you want to immerse yourself in Chengdu? Come to Shuijingfang Museum + Bar Street and you will feel it, hahahahaha!

In the past, when I passed Jiuyan Bridge, I would be attracted by the strong aroma of wine. This time, I was fortunate to come to the source of the wine aroma - Shuijingfang, and got a glimpse of the production techniques of Shuijingfang liquor, and gained a lot.

This visit not only allowed me to learn about the brand history of Shuijingfang, but also about the vicissitudes of the history of Chinese liquor. For someone like me who loves alcohol, the existence of the Shuijingfang Museum is a treasure. Just approaching the museum, I was captivated by the strong aroma of the wine. The closer I got, the stronger it became. Only then did I understand the meaning of the word "intoxicated". The most special part of the whole visit was that I could prepare a small bottle of Shuijingfang liquor by myself. As a person who loves alcohol so much, of course I didn't save money for the boss. Hahahaha, I'm happy and recommend it to everyone. It's worth a visit!

ps: The puppet sand table in the hall is quite interesting, I took a few photos

A city with a story The story of old Chengdu

It should be the pot of wine that grandpa drank

Enter Shuijingfang Museum

In addition to being shocked by traditional culture

What touched me most was the aroma of wine.

It reminds me of my childhood, about my grandfather and about wine.

very nice.

I have lived in Chengdu for so many years, but I have never found such a good museum nearby. Maybe it is because "good wine needs no bush"? There is such a secluded alley in the downtown area. Outside is the traffic-congested city center, and inside is the "600-year living history" with the aroma of wine, which is very interesting.

It is a place worth visiting. Not only can you learn about Shuijingfang and Sichuan liquor, but also learn about China's intangible cultural heritage and historical heritage.

I forgot when I started to have the impression of the Shuijingfang brand in my mind, but I never had a deep understanding of it. This time, after participating in the autumn brewing experience at the Shuijingfang Museum, I felt that I had a new understanding of Shuijingfang, and also learned more about the production and culture of liquor.



You usually need to make an appointment by phone in advance to see the autumn brewing at Shuijingfang Museum. I made an appointment one day in advance at 10:50 am on Saturday. When I arrived at the museum the next day, it was past the appointment time. The lady at the front desk was very nice. There was also a lady who specialized in explaining the autumn brewing experience. She was very professional and detailed.



From the historical origins of Shuijingfang, to the visit to the wine-making site that proves Shuijingfang has a 600-year history, to the production process of Shuijingfang wine, and actually witnessing the Shuijingfang winemakers at work in the museum, I remembered Shuijingfang's slogan at the time: Every cup in 600 years is a living heritage. Isn't it a living heritage? In the city center where every inch of land is valuable, the heritage site that witnesses Shuijingfang's 600 years of wine-making is preserved.



Finally, we took all the visitors to learn about many other distilled spirits, such as whiskey and gin, and tasted the original liquor and new liquor brewed by Shuijingfang. Finally, we could mix a bottle of unique Shuijingfang liquor as a small gift to take away, and brew our own exclusive one~



If you like liquor culture or are interested in Shuijingfang liquor, it is worth a visit.

As a native of Chengdu, I know Quanxing and Shuijingfang, but I have never been to the Shuijingfang Museum. As soon as I entered, the aroma of the liquor was really mellow. I liked the part about tasting, mixing and smelling various distilled liquors around the world the most. I feel that the aroma of liquor is really quite profound. In the end, I actually found a message from Comrade Chen Duxiu, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The autumn brewing experience week was really super cool. I was drunk when I walked to the entrance of the museum. What amazed me most was that there was an original and simple wine-making workshop in the center of Chengdu. It was quite interesting.

I have to give Shuijingfang a thumbs up. I am honored to participate in this autumn brewing experience. Due to my reasons, the time for the tour was changed again and again, but the Shuijingfang staff was super nice and patient. Parking was also super convenient. The staff who gave the explanations were very professional and could answer any questions at any time. I only knew the history of Chengdu brewing after I went there. There is actually a very historical museum near my home. VIPs can also go down to the brewing place and drink a sip of the raw liquor that has just been produced. (I drove and didn't drink it). I also made the only bottle of Shuijingfang in the world that belongs to me 😋. I hope that some peripherals can be produced in the future for us to keep as souvenirs. (Tape, notebooks, refrigerator magnets, shopping bags...) I hope that more people in Chengdu can understand it.

Thanks to China-TravelNote~~ I have lived in Chengdu for more than 20 years and this is the first time I have entered the Shuijingfang Museum. I have more or less learned about the story of this long-standing brand. After seeing the manufacturing process where not a drop of water is wasted, I feel that the wine is more fragrant and every drop of raw juice is worth cherishing. I have never drunk white wine, but I couldn't help but take a sip, and the aroma exploded in my mouth instantly. I took a small bottle of special blended by myself home and it was immediately finished by my dad, hahaha.

As a person who grew up in Chengdu, I always had a certain "smell" when I passed by Shuinian River when I was a child. I didn't know it was close to Shuijingfang until I grew up. Later, the Shuijingfang Museum was renovated. Since I was working away from home, I never had the chance to go there. It was not until the Spring Festival holiday this year that I passed by with friends and went in to have a look. I learned about the history of winemaking. This time I was honored to win the autumn brewing experience activity in China-TravelNote. The professional tour guide told us about the history of Shuijingfang and took us to visit the winemaking process that is still in use. I was moved to see the masters passing on their skills in the historical wine cellar. In the rare autumn brewing experience, I had the opportunity to taste the freshly brewed raw wine. Under the explanation of the bartender, I adjusted my own Shuijingfang wine. The whole experience was very good. It is entertaining and educational. Inheriting craftsmanship is the real Chinese wine culture.

I first got to know Shuijingfang from their CCTV advertisements, but to really know the story behind the brand, you have to start from this museum. The space you just entered is free to visit, and the story behind the brand and the development of old Chengdu seem to reveal a hint of fragrance in every detail.

Of course, I personally feel that the best thing is to feel the aroma of wine here.

Walking from the street, the aroma of wine seems far away and near, intermittent. The feeling of invading your taste buds without being greasy, entering your body and mind and becoming more fragrant is more prominent in the second half of the experience.

When visiting the museum, you can not only learn about the production process of Baijiu, but in the last part you can also experience the story of blending your own Baijiu and other international distilled spirits.

It is a very informative museum. Of course, I think the most valuable thing is to taste the wine yourself during the autumn brewing period. This is a very good experience. The comparison between different adjustments allows you to find your own taste.

As a Chengdu native, I often pass by there. As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush, and I have always been attracted by the aroma. This time I had the opportunity to come here and happened to encounter the autumn brewing event. Friends who are interested can also come and try it. The whole visit took about an hour, and there were beautiful women explaining and leading the whole process. You can also taste the wine, which is very good! Recommended!

I had the opportunity to go to the Shuijingfang Liquor Culture Museum to experience the winemaking process firsthand, taste the freshly produced raw liquor, and blend the first bottle of my own liquor in my life. The beautiful lady explained in detail and patiently that the liquor culture and brewing techniques are much more complex and profound than I thought. This is a museum that is still in the process of winemaking. The experience is interesting and informative, and it is worth a visit.

Particularly worth mentioning is the model of the Shuijingfang area of ​​old Chengdu in the museum hall. It is exquisitely made and highly restores the lazy, leisurely, optimistic, urban and colorful prosperity of old Chengdu. The characters in it are lifelike and very vivid. You can feel the soul of Chengdu people. It is the Chengdu version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

As a non-drinker, there was no difference between Erguotou and Feitian Moutai in my world before. After this trip to the museum, I believe you will never see my ignorance of liquor again.

The ancient winemaking method is highly restored. The wisdom of the ancients is beyond our imagination. I happened to catch up with the autumn winemaking event and experienced the process of making cocktails by myself. This experience was really great. I named the wine I made "mouth bom", which really feels like a mouth explosion!

It's really worth a visit!

The young lady who gave the explanation showed us the century-old history and production process of Sichuan Shuijingfang liquor culture. We tasted the rich and fragrant 60-degree+ raw liquor for the first time. We also tried to mix it ourselves and took away a small bottle of Shuijingfang liquor. It was a great experience!

The first sip of liquor in life/Shuijingfang



Autumn is the best season for brewing wine. The taste of the original pulp after 20 minutes of distillation is 70-80% alcohol. The distillation pools of Ming Dynasty/Qing Dynasty/modern distillation pools have witnessed the rising water levels of Chengdu. The microbial flora has been domesticated for a hundred years, and it is more stable and mature. I finally understand the fragrance and thickness of liquor. I tasted the finished products after 2 hours/10 days/1800 days, and the taste was wonderful. I drank 8 drops in total, and I felt dizzy for the whole afternoon. I will go to the museum again.



There are many scenes that cannot be photographed ~ but they are all very great!

Thanks to China-TravelNote for letting me participate in the autumn brewing experience! I made an appointment one day in advance to visit at 1 pm. There were not many people during the week. The guide was very professional and friendly. From the origin of the entire history to the visit to the production room to the tasting of liquor, I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge. It is still very good to expand my knowledge. The development of 600 years of history, including the origin of Wuliangye (I just know which five grains it is), has given me a better understanding of wine culture. Later, I couldn't stand the taste of liquor when I made my own drinks, so I didn't dare to taste it, but it still felt very interesting.

Shuijingfang Museum is still worth visiting. We made an appointment for the autumn brewing experience at 3 pm one day in advance. When we arrived, it was only a little after 2 pm. The staff took the initiative to help us change it to the 2:20 one. It was very humane. Since we went on Tuesday, there were few people. Basically, the one who explained it was called Sister, which was exclusive to us. The explanation was also very detailed. From the founder to the changes of Shuijingfang through the ages, a detailed introduction was made. There was a very strong smell of lees when entering the ruins museum. I personally quite like this smell. It may be because my mother worked in the winery when I was a child, so I can watch the masters work up close. You can also taste the ten-year original puree in person. Compared with the one-year one, it does taste richer and mellower. In the last gulp, I drank a whole cup of 68-degree original puree and was praised for my good alcohol tolerance, hahaha! It was really an interesting experience: listening to the explanation, viewing the ruins, tasting the original puree... a deeper understanding of the traditional liquor culture and the traditional brewing process. Originally, the autumn brewing experience in these few days could also be hand-blended under the guidance of the liquor taster to create a bottle of exclusive liquor wine. But goose... I got the time wrong. Be sure to remember to make an appointment at 10:50 am or 1:00 pm 😂😂

Finally, there is an appreciation hall for strong liquors from various countries, and then you will find that Shuijing is actually a brand of Diageo, high-end!

Participated in the Shuijingfang Museum Autumn Brewing Experience Week. The museum is also a winery, which has been in operation since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and has never stopped production for 600 years. Unlike other processes, winemaking cannot be completely replaced by machines at present, and is now a "national intangible cultural heritage". In addition to appreciating cultural relics, you can also have various experiences, taste raw wine, and experience autumn brewing, making a bottle of your own wine, which can't be praised more👍

I was very lucky to win the free tour of the ancient workshop. I went to visit it on Saturday. The order in the museum was very good, and the visitors kept quiet. Maybe because the event was too popular, all visits needed to be booked in advance. Because I didn't have an appointment, I waited for a while on site before I started to verify the information.



During this visit, the museum thoughtfully assigned a beautiful young lady as a tour guide and explainer. She gave detailed and professional explanations throughout the whole process, and patiently answered all my questions. This helped me, a white wine novice, learn a lot.



This museum is of great significance to the history of liquor. The museum was originally a winery that had been making liquor for hundreds of years. It changed its name several times. In modern times (I don’t remember which period it was), during the laying of natural gas pipelines (I think), a distiller’s base dating back more than 600 years was discovered, which directly pushed the history of Chinese distilled liquor back hundreds of years! In addition, many “airing halls” and “fermentation pools” used in ancient winemaking were also discovered.



All visitors also have the opportunity to taste the original sauce wine and compare the difference between the 68-degree wine stored for 10 years and the new wine. You can also learn about the various links of modern winemaking from raw materials to products, and witness the winemakers still brewing in the museum. It can be said to be a real "living heritage" because this is still a Shuijingfang factory. There are many exquisite scene restoration models in the museum, especially the first one you see when you enter the museum. It is about 10 square meters in length and in all directions. It is very interesting and has countless details!



It is said that if you make a VIP reservation, you can experience the wine-making ceremony in person, and finally take away your own work, which can be said to be very meaningful.



It’s a bit long-winded, but overall, it’s worth the experience!

First of all, this museum is small, with few people and explanations. It is a good place to visit on a weekend when you have nothing to do. Secondly, the museum is rich in content and is a living exhibition hall. You can also taste wine, which is a very interesting experience. Thirdly, the lady who explains is very beautiful. I like her very much even though I am a girl. Finally, the wine in this museum is really diverse, and there are various collector's edition packaging. If you like it, it is worth buying.

China's wine culture has a long history. I decided to visit Shuijingfang Museum on the afternoon of September 8. Since the workers were off work, I couldn't see the winemaking process, but there was a guide explaining, so I could understand and experience the wine culture very well. There are several exhibition halls throughout the whole process. The first two exhibition halls are open to the public, and the subsequent ones are charged separately, 50 yuan tickets. You can learn a lot about wine in the exhibition halls inside. You can also taste white wine after visiting. Friends who are interested in wine culture can go and learn about it.

#Autumn Brewing Week visited Shuijingfang Museum, thanks to China-TravelNote for the arrangement#

The architectural design of a wine cellar that includes the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. You can watch the master making wine on the spot, taste the freshly distilled raw juice on the spot, mix a bottle of fine wine to take away, and recall your childhood memories of the Quanxing Football Team. The tour guide patiently explains the whole process. This is the best museum experience.

I didn't expect it to be so good! It was autumn brewing when I came here. The tour guide explained the origin of Shuijingfang and the process of making liquor, and then mixed the liquor by myself. It was really worth it.

I have never drunk white wine, but be warned, it smells really good. I took a small sip and felt the legendary aroma of the wine for the first time. The taste of the white wine is very good!

It's a very nice place with a great experience. It is highly recommended in this season. When I visited it yesterday, I encountered the first day of Qiu Niang. I called in advance to make an appointment for the VIP experience of Qiu Niang!

The transportation is very convenient. Take Metro Line 2, Exit B of Dongmen Bridge, turn right, and walk down the road and you will see the Shuijingfang sign!

The experience was very good, from historical development to modern inheritance, I listened to the explanations and watched the workers at work. And because of the VIP experience, I could go directly to the production workshop and tasted the fresh original wine. That feeling was spicy from head to stomach!

Afterwards, we also participated in the wine tasting and cocktail making sessions, which also made people feel very comfortable! In the end, each person could make a bottle of wine to take away.

It was an unforgettable experience. Although it is a museum, it is actually a place for making wine. Especially in the autumn brewing season, it was very meaningful to experience the whole process of brewing and taste the raw puree just distilled. The mysterious box part later was very interesting. I privately prepared a small bottle of Shuijingfang wine named by myself. You can choose between strong aroma and sauce aroma. What are you waiting for?

I participated in the event and got a chance to visit for free, and experienced the liquor culture with my friends.



You need to make an appointment one day in advance. Today is the first day of autumn brewing. I wanted to see how the masters make wine, but when I arrived, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening and the masters had all gone off work.



In the lobby, I looked at the model of the entire Jiuyanqiao area, which restored the past urban life. The building and character models were quite realistic and lifelike, which was really good.



The tour guide took us to experience about five units and explained the origin of Shuijingfang very thoroughly. From the second unit when we entered the winery, the whole space was filled with the strong aroma of wine.



The lady also took us to taste the half-year new wine and the 10-year old wine, both of which were high-proof and unblended. I don't know how to drink liquor at all, but I feel that the new wine smells more fragrant and tastes very spicy, while the old wine smells strong and a little choking and spicy. The taste is very rich and the aftertaste is endless.



I have always thought that Shuijingfang's wine bottles are very beautiful. Sure enough, their designs have won many international awards. It is said that they also have many patents, which is amazing.



I learned a lot and the trip was worthwhile.

The dew starts to turn white tonight, and poetry and wine come into my dreams.

About winemaking: Today is the fifteenth solar term, Bailu. This is the first day of Shuijingfang autumn brewing. It turns out that Shuijingfang Brewery will stop brewing throughout the summer. Brewing a good bottle of wine is far less simple than we think. A good bottle of wine requires "time", suitable weather, to give the best fermentation temperature, and each cellar needs to "breathe", so the entire winery cannot use air conditioning. A good bottle of wine requires "geographical advantage". Shuijingfang is located next to Jinquan Street. If you look closely at the scenic spots of Dongmen, it is not difficult to find that each household originally had a well. It can be seen that the water quality here is good, which creates good conditions for winemaking. A good bottle of wine requires "harmony among people". Only an experienced winemaker can make full use of each layer of brewing bran, let every drop of wine fit in the right place, blend with the wine of the same grade, and collide with the most beautiful sparks.

Geographical location: Located between Jiuyan Bridge and Taikoo Li in Chengdu, hidden away in the city.

About the building: The second unit retains the original appearance of the winery. The lion mouth is a window on the roof for lighting and ventilation. The number and size of the opening are very sophisticated. The thousand-year-old cellar in the second unit is still in use today. The cellar mud will be preserved for the next fermentation. Therefore, the longer the cellar is, the more fragrant the wine will be. The museum evolved from the old winery and blends old and new buildings. It was designed by Liu Jiakun, a local architect in Chengdu. The style of the entire museum, the plants and the concrete treatment of the third unit are very much in his style.

Autumn Brewing Experience: Watching the winemaker steaming the wine in the factory from a close distance, it turns out that this work must be done manually. Too tight or too loose bran will affect the distillation effect, which is very particular. You can try the freshly distilled puree in the winery, which is a bit exciting. The bartender is the key to a good bottle of wine. The process of mixing the wine yourself is very interesting. Everyone can leave with their own wine as a souvenir, and everyone's wine is unique.

In general, visiting the Shuijingfang Museum is not only about understanding the development of the Shuijingfang (Quanxing) brand, but also an intuitive experience of understanding Chinese wine culture. It is definitely worth a visit.

This is truly a "living" museum, and the wine cellar is still in use today.

Here we introduce the types of Chinese liquor, which is a distilled liquor, also known as Shaojiu, and its craftsmanship dates back to the Yuan Dynasty. Shuijingfang is a strong-flavor liquor.

The cellar mud feels like it's been piled with concrete.

The raw materials for brewing wine can be taken out of the cellar and distilled into wine after 3 months of fermentation. The distilled wine is not simply mixed together, but is layered and classified by sommeliers to determine the quality of the wine. A good bottle of wine depends not only on the experience of the winemaker but also on the brewing time and the condition of the cellar. It can be said that good wine can only be produced under the right time, place and people.

The most critical part of wine quality is good water. Basically, every famous winery has a good well. It is said that Shuijingfang's wine was originally made with water from Xue Tao Well.

There is a well inside the factory site which is said to be from the Song Dynasty.

After the explanation, there is a wine tasting session (good news for liquor lovers). The museum will prepare two glasses of 68-degree original liquor for each visitor, one is a many-year-old liquor and the other is a three-month-old liquor. I don't know much about liquor, and I feel that the new liquor tastes milder, while the old liquor has a stronger taste.

At that time, this winery also brewed various kinds of wine, which makes me feel very drinkable just thinking about it.

According to the tour guide, students from the architecture department often come here to visit. This is one of the few places with old buildings in Chengdu city.

Shuijingfang's current distillery is located in Tuqiao, which borders Pi County. Every time you pass by there by car, you can smell a strong smell of distiller's grains.

Quanxing wanted to rely on the history of the ruins to create a high-end brand to enhance its influence in the industry. However, the reality went against its will. The main consumer group of high-end liquor, the government officials, had begun to shrink since a certain period, and ordinary consumers also gradually became more rational in their consumption of alcohol. Quanxing, which had no popularity in the first place, was completely ruined by this incident.

Shuijingfang's wine bottles are quite nice.

The museum ends with an introduction to other internationally renowned distilled spirits.

To be honest, the Shuijingfang ruins are so popular that few people know about them, just like the Shuijingfang brand.

Tickets are 50, including guide explanation

It is an unpopular tourist spot with few people. It houses an old cellar from the Ming Dynasty, which is known as the best cellar.

It is still one of Shuijingfang’s factories.

The oldest wine-making workshop in the world near Jiuyan Bridge

Shuijingfang is located outside the Old East Gate Bridge in Chengdu. It is the site of an old Sichuan liquor distillery from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The site was discovered in 1998. In August of that year, Sichuan Quanxing Co., Ltd. discovered the remains of ancient winemaking buried underground when it was renovating its liquor production workshop. In 1999, several archaeological and research institutions excavated the site and found "wine cellars, drying halls, stove pits, distiller bases, ash pits, ash ditches, roadbeds (sprinkling water), wooden pillars and column bases, wall foundations and other remains from different eras, as well as a large number of porcelain and pottery fragments, animal bones and other relics."

It's really worth the trip! 50 tickets + explanation fee

The origin of Shuijingfang! Mainly, this is a museum built on the site! It's really amazing! If you are interested in wine, you can come and have a look! There is also a tasting at the end! It is especially delicious!

Chinese liquor culture has a long history, and Shuijingfang is known as the "No. 1 liquor house in China". The Shuijingfang Museum should have some real things. Shuijingfang's characteristic invention is mud kiln brewing, and the museum has an introduction to the whole process of brewing. In addition, there are also introductions such as "Wenjun in charge of the stove, Xiangru washing the utensils" and Liu Bei's prohibition of drinking. Friends who are interested in liquor culture may wish to take a look.

There is a problem with this museum. Only 3 exhibition halls are free. The others charge 50 yuan. Actually, the purpose of this museum is to spread the culture of the city, but the fees are so high, which is contrary to the original intention.

The tickets were expensive, so I didn't go in. There was an exhibition hall and a wine shop just after entering the museum that were free to visit. If you want to go in and see the winemaking process, you have to buy a ticket. The air was filled with the aroma of wine.
