Laohekou was built on water and is famous for its rice wine brewing. Lilou Town has a long history of winemaking. During its heyday, there were more than 10 wine shops, and the ancient brewing techniques are still being passed down today. In recent years, Lilou Town has actively explored the rice wine culture and fully supported the development of rice wine enterprises, thus blazing a new path for rural revitalization.

Steaming, mixing, brewing, fermentation... In Lilou Town, the ancient brewing techniques have been well inherited, and almost every household has the tradition of brewing. According to Ba Honglin, the person in charge of the Yellow Wine Town, brewing and drinking yellow wine has become a local food culture.

Today, based on the ancient brewing method, Lilou Town's young and fashionable rice wine products are leading local rice wine companies to a new path. Ba Honglin said that "Returning Geese" has injected young elements into the rice wine culture, and product innovation, process innovation, and cultural excavation are the future development directions of the local rice wine industry.
