Following a comprehensive upgrading of its facilities earlier this year, the Shaoxing Huangjiu Town in Dongpu sub-district, Yuecheng district, saw over 100,000 tourist visits between the National Day holiday beginning on Oct 1 and mid-Nov.

The town was on Nov 7 designated the permanent host venue for the China International Huangjiu Industry Expo at this year's event which it hosted.

Christine said that she would return with friends who are also interested in wine brewing and explore the other beautiful sites in Shaoxing.

Enthralled by the local landscapes and the brewing techniques which she had never heard of before, Greta Bianchi, an Italian who works as the operation manager of VFS Global in Shanghai, expressed her strong desire to visit again.

"I will definitely be back. There's so much more about this place that I want to explore," she said.
