Lutaichun Liquor brewed in the city's Ninghe county was recently awarded national geographic indication status, bringing the total number of products enjoying the status in the city to 10.

The move is expected to sharpen the product's competitive edge both at home and abroad, local authorities said.

The liquor, first brewed in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), has a history of more than 300 years.
