Kang Rice Wine - famous in Qing Dynasty

 

Just like the modern days, Kang is the powerful family that controls sale of salt, wine and sugar. It plays a major role in SilkRoad trade too. His family home is bigger than the size of forbidden city. The whole city like mansion is preserved till this day.

The sign says "Kang Hudred Million Wine" 

The words on sides of the door reads "There are all sorts of wine in the world" "Nothing beats the wine from Kang"

Sky gate ornament for Tom's Sign2 Event

 

The sign says, "Southeast Number 1". It refers to the sky gate tourist attraction that is very hard to climb up to in a mountain where a lot of daredevils come here for wind surfing along the cliffs of the mountains.
