Time-Honored BrandShanzhuang · Hebei · Founded
A time-honored liquor brand from Chengde, Hebei, rooted in the royal culture of the Mountain Resort. Shanzhuang preserves ancient brewing techniques, producing mellow baijiu with a lingering finish, embodying the heritage and local pride of the region.
Brand Story
Shanzhuang originates from Chengde, Hebei, famed for the Qing Dynasty imperial summer resort. In 1703, the construction of the resort spurred local liquor production to meet royal demands. The brand's predecessor dates back to Qing-era folk distilleries, blending typical northern baijiu characteristics. During the Republic era, workshops like Qingyuanheng gained renown. After 1949, these were consolidated into a state-owned distillery. Shanzhuang's identity is steeped in royal culture, with names and packaging inspired by the resort's scenery. Master distillers uphold the traditional 'Lao Wu Zeng' technique, using sorghum and wheat, solid-state fermentation, and slow distillation to craft a full-bodied, aromatic spirit. More than a drink, Shanzhuang carries the collective memory and cultural essence of Chengde.
