## About Keyan Scenic Area

Keyan dates back to the Han dynasty and has more than 1,800 years of history. Rooted in ancient Yue culture, it blends the water-town charm of Shaoxing. Keyan's 'cloud bone' rock formations are the most extraordinary; known as the 'first stone under heaven', they are a marvel of quarrying carried out since the Sui and Tang dynasties. Don't forget to use your wine voucher to sample a small cup of Shaoxing Huadiao and old rice wine on Hulu Island (Calabash Island).
