In November 2021, a conservation project led by the Shuangliu district's culture, sports and tourism bureau was officially launched to address the safety hazards of the teahouse's structure while retaining its original building materials and construction techniques and to discover, protect and promote local tea culture through the project.

　　The project, a joint endeavor involving enterprises, universities, research institutions, and the local government, strove to preserve the original charm of the teahouse in multiple dimensions, from its exterior design to cultural ambiance. It was completed in April 2023.

　　Li Qiang, keeper of the teahouse, couldn't help but applaud as he witnessed the teahouse win the award through an online live broadcast, saying, “This makes my life worthwhile.“

　　Having grown up in the teahouse, Li took it over from his mother in 1995. He considers the old patrons as treasures, believing that both the teahouse itself and its long-time customers are the soul of this century-old establishment.

　　To pass down the traditional Sichuan tea culture in the tea house, Li said he has been training his son to be his successor.
