Shanlan Wine

The Li ethnic people in Hainan and other areas are good-natured and hospitable. When there are guests coming to visit, the Li people will greet them with home-brewed Shanlan rice wine. Drinking the wine is in three stages: the first is called "Qiang Fu Ang", meaning having a chat over a drink; the second is called "Bi Ao", meaning getting drunk. This is a custom observed by the Li people—you can't stop drinking till you are drunk; and the third and final stage is called "Tun Zhuo Qiu", which means the hosts and the guests singing local ballads in antiphonal style.
