"In the past, villagers raised chickens and ducks in front of their houses, and the streets of the ancient town were dirty and messy. Now it has changed a lot." Wei Zhiyou, who has lived in the ancient town for most of his life, said. Wei Zhiyou inherited his father-in-law's Huangjing wine brewing skills and opened a winery in the ancient town with his wife in 2005. Over the years, Huangjing wine has become popular with the development of the ancient town, and even Hong Kong merchants have found Wei Zhiyou to buy in bulk for a long time. Today, Wei Zhiyou has three wineries under his name.
