Natural Advantages

Beneath the Helan Mountains, the Xixia Imperial Tombs bear witness to the civilization of Western Xia and the legacy of Li Yuanhao. Nearby, Fei Tswei adds a new chapter to the landscape.
In 2012, Ms. Lily returned to the foot of the Helan Mountains, inspired by a desire to put down roots and contribute to her home region. She set out to build a winery here—one that would live in harmony with nature and honor time, land and heritage.
