Langjiu Manor, where fine wines are hidden in Tianbao Cave!

Tianbao Cave, a scenic spot within the territory of Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, is located on the cliffs of Centipede Rock in Erlang Town. The powerful and vigorous characters for 'Tianbao Cave' are carved on the cliff at the entrance. Once inside the cave, the fragrance of wine is pervasive, and the mellow aroma is overwhelming. Rows of large sealed wine jars extend neatly into the cave. Under the dim light, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years... The old wine jars and the cave walls are covered with a thick layer of wine moss. The wine jars stand quietly there, like the Terracotta Warriors unearthed, hence the nickname 'China's Terracotta Warriors of Wine Jars'. 'Guests come to the treasure cave and the wind carries them home drunk; raise a toast, and even when people leave, the road retains the fragrance.' Tianbao Cave was created for the storage and aging of Langjiu. What kind of mystery does it contain? The Central Television's 'Talking about the Yangtze River' series, in its eleventh episode 'Born of Chishui', introduces the mystery of storing wine in Tianbao Cave as follows: 'The natural cave, a gift from nature, contains endless mysteries. The wine molecules interact with the microorganisms in the air year-round, forming wine mud on the cave walls. These vibrant life forms bring new magic to the sauce-flavor components of Langjiu.'
