Where 888 Lucky Beer was born

Help represent China →China is home to one of the oldest continuous cultures on Earth, with a musical heritage stretching back thousands of years — from court and folk traditions to today's booming pop scene.
For TimTim.Live, China is personal: a 2015 month in Chongqing, and its warm toast culture, sparked the idea that became 888 Lucky Beer.
