The Keyan Scenic Area, with its profound cultural heritage of ancient Yue, is a renowned place of interest

The birthplace of the black-awning boat and the black felt hat: The Keyan Scenic Area in Shaoxing dates back to the Han Dynasty, with a history of over 1,800 years. Covering an area of 6.87 square kilometers, it embodies the ancient Yue culture and is characterized by the remnants of ancient quarrying. Integrating the charm of Shaoxing's water towns, the legacy of ancient quarrying, and the ecology of forests, it includes four major scenic spots: Keyan, Jianhu, Luzhen, and Xianglin. The area boasts beautiful natural scenery and a rich cultural landscape, encompassing Shaoxing's water culture, stone culture, bridge culture, wine culture, as well as the culture of notable figures, folk culture, and opera culture, all in one place. Its peculiar rock formation 'Yun Gu' has stood tall for thousands of years. From a distance, it looks like a wisp of smoke rising into the air, earning it the name 'Furnace Pillar in Clear Smoke,' a unique marvel through the ages.
