On August 8th, the members of the new generation of Ruian merchants abroad gathered at the Loulan Winery. General Manager Tang Qing led them to visit. They deeply explored the mystery of wine brewing. The ancient tools witnessed the inheritance of craftsmanship. The film viewing led everyone to travel through history and appreciate the profoundness of wine culture. The winery was fragrant, and the wine cellar was quiet. Every drop of fine wine contained a story. This trip not only enhanced the understanding of wine but also brought a spiritual touch and cultural exchange.
This activity not only deepened the members’ understanding of the economy and culture of Xinjiang but also promoted in-depth exchanges and cooperation with Xinjiang youth entrepreneurs. The visit to the winery allowed the members to feel the charm of wine culture up close, further broadened their horizons, and inspired innovative thinking. The successful holding of this series of activities not only enhanced the cohesion among the members but also built an important bridge for economic, trade, and cultural exchanges between Ruian City and Xinjiang.
