Xian Heng Inn,Xian Heng Tavern or Xian Heng Hotel is a historic Chinese cuisine restaurant located in Shaoxing,Zhejiang province,People's Republic of China.
The original restaurant was founded in 1884,during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor of the Qing dynasty,but closed after a few years. [1]
It was mentioned by writer Lu Xun in his work "Kong Yiji",with the restaurant situated in a fictionalised version of Shaoxing. [2]
The modern inn opened to the public on September 18,1981,to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lu Xun's birthday. [2]
The restaurant is known for maintaining the classic Shaoxing wine tradition that has been around since the dynastic times. It should not be confused as a possible birthplace of the wine since that had been around for many dynasties before the restaurant.
