Ming Dynasty-era winery preserves ancient taste

For anyone who loves to be near the water, Wuzhen in Zhejiang province is a heaven on Earth.

The small county, known as the Venice of the East, is built along ancient canals and can be explored on foot in just two days. Among its abundant history museums and local delicacies, sipping San Bai Rice Wine while watching wooden boats float by is one of the most authentic Wuzhen experiences that can't be missed.

Known for its brewing business in ancient times, Wuzhen had more than 20 wineries during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), but Gaogongsheng is the only one that has survived.
