As is said in a poem, "The light of mist is reflected in deep clear water,/ Flowing out of the West Mountains up to now./ People talk about the historic site of golden oxen, /Enticing people to search the cave but in vain." With the Chaobai River to the east, Niulanshan is endowed with abundant high-quality groundwater, providing rich high-quality water resources for the making of Niulanshan Erguotou white spirits. Niulanshan Erguotou white spirits refer to those flowing out when cold water is put into the tin cauldron for the second time. It is clear, fragrant, pure, intense and natural, with a unique balanced style.
Niulanshan has a culture of over 3,000 years of spirits and a recorded history of more than 300 years in spirits distillation. During the Kangxi reign in the Qing Dynasty, with a series of policies favorable for economic growth, such as "making the ownerships of unclaimed land official" and "never increasing taxes", the people of Niulanshan became rich and trade prospered, creating a good environment for the development of spirits distillation. Meanwhile, spirits houses sprang up. The number of spirits consumers increased day by day. Carts transporting spirits travelled day and night on the way. Nowadays, Niulanshan Distillery Factory has not only kept the original traditions, but also made great headway in brand building. Niulanshan Distillery Factory has already grown up as an influential enterprise in erguotou spirits industry in China.
