A new means of traveling featuring wine culture has drawn more than 50,000 tourists and created 1,500 jobs in Changli County, north China's Hebei Province since early this year.

The fifth international wine festival took place in Changli County, known as the Bordeaux of China because of the fine wines it produces.

During the festival, people can visit beautiful vineyards, wine cellars and even learn to brew wine themselves.

Since the first wine culture festival began, more than 100,000 tourists from home and abroad visit annually, statistics show.
