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.

History

The restaurant is known for maintaining the classic shaoxing wine tradition that has been around since the dynastic times. Though it should not be confused as a possible birthplace of the wine since it has been around many dynasties before the birth of the restaurant.

It has also been mentioned by writer Lu Xun in his work (孔乙己) with the restaurant situated in his hometown.[1]

The restaurant was created in 1884 during the reign of Qing dynasty Guangxu Emperor (光緒), but was closed in a few years.[2]

It was reopened to the public on September 18, 1981 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lu Xun's birthday.[1]
