    Changyu Wine Culture Museum

    张裕酒文化博物馆

    Traces the history of the winery from 18th century up to 21st century. Changyu was founded in 1892 as the first Western-style winery in China by Zhang Bishi (also known as Cheong Fatt Tze, known for his eponymous mansion in George Town, Malaysia). It has developed into a brand including brandy, red wine, vermouth and riesling white wine. A display area showcases the development through pictures and videos. An underground cellar covers an area of over 2,600 m², and contains eight interlocked arches. It was the first underground wine cellar in Asia when it was completed in 1903. There are over 600 barrels in the cellar. Three King-Barrels, each with the capacity of housing 15 tones of wine, are the largest wine barrels in Asia, which have a history of over 100 years. There is a bar inside the cellar, where travelers can taste a variety of wine. While opening to tourists, the cellar is still in use for wine storage.
