<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > overview of liquor in Heilongjiang Province:</h1>
"The Great Northern Wilderness, the Northern Wilderness, is a rabbit and a wolf, and the light opens the weeds without grain." In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to solve the national grain problem, General Wang Zhen organized 100,000 officers and soldiers to advance into Heilongjiang Province, which was known as the "Northern Wilderness." Later, 50,000 students, 200,000 border youths, and 540,000 Zhiqing successively entered Heilongjiang, and these people came here to fight the cold, fight the ice and frost, diligently and earnestly open up the wasteland and garrison the frontier, and they dedicated their youth and sweat and even their lives here, which turned the Northern Wilderness into the Northern Cang.

Fertile black soil, high-quality raw grain production, these all create a unique Northeast liquor flavor. Heilongjiang is the first place in China to implement branqu liquor, and it is also the birthplace of kanka wine, thanks to the guidance and innovation of Zhou Henggang and Mr. Gao Yueming. Heilongjiang has four national excellent wines, two of which are bran qu liquor, one is concurrently fragrant.

In 2020, the output of liquor in Heilongjiang Province was about 114722 kiloliters, ranking thirteenth in China, and the output was lower than before. The names of Heilongjiang liquor are very grounded, but most of them are well-known local liquor brands, let's take a look at these good liquors in Heilongjiang.
