In order to make consumers feel the geographical attribute of the product in the first time, the design redesigned and improved the culture of liquor, we made the bottle cap part into the shape of apricot flower. Bottle unique and personality, packaging traditional culture and modern pay equal attention to make this product stand out in the same type of products.

Combined with the Chinese idiom "famous all over the world", the pattern on the top of the bottle is as four layers, just like the waves, to symbolize its perfection and uniqueness. The bottle using bronzing technology, the outer packing using black special paper bronzing technology. We look at products in three dimensions and make "tradition" the new attraction.

The integration of tradition and fashion highlights the different cultural characteristics of China, so as to spread Chinese culture.
