The Gaogou Liquor Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Area is located in the central area of the famous liquor town of Gaogou , and the core area of the tourist attraction of the Jinshiyuan Group.The overall improvement of the intangible cultural heritage protection zone is a gift from the Jinshiyuan Group to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the party membership fee factory.
By combing through the millennium long history of Gaogou liquor, we plan the Gaogou brand history line and the brewing intangible cultural heritage skill line, and perceive the life tension of Gaogou wine culture in multiple dimensions; Exploring the operation mode of the flow era, we plan the immersive cultural theme block of the antique city to create a model of industrial tourism integrating business, culture and tourism.
Based on a deep reflection on the integration of baijiu and tourism, we integrate immersive experiences, scenario-based exploration, themed commercial activities, and participatory performances to promote the dissemination of baijiu fate culture, attract traffic and expand customer base; build a cultural and tourism ecosystem centered on the intangible heritage of Gaohe liquor to enhance the sustainable development of Jinshiyuan Scenic Area and achieve the integration of industry and town to drive revitalization.
