Shaoxing Keyan Hot Spring is a thermal spa in Shaoxing, one of China's most historically and culturally celebrated cities in Zhejiang Province, birthplace of the great 20th-century writer Lu Xun, home to a famous tradition of Yue Opera (Shaoxing opera), and renowned for producing China's most prized aged rice wine — Shaoxing huangjiu — for over 2,500 years. The naturally bicarbonate-rich spring waters are valued in Chinese wellness practice for their alkaline, digestive-supportive, and skin-softening properties, harmonizing beautifully with the scholarly and refined cultural atmosphere of this ancient city of waterways and wine culture. Bathing in Shaoxing's thermal springs while surrounded by the canal landscapes, ancient academies, and wine cellars of this 2,500-year-old city offers a profound immersion in Chinese history alongside the timeless pleasure of mineral spring wellness.
Insider tip — Shaoxing Keyan Hot Spring rises near the famous Keyan Stone Buddha scenic area, where millennia of quarrying have left dramatic rock pillars and ancient inscriptions along the spring's edges. The bicarbonate water at 40°C is soft and skin-conditioning, complementing the city's literary heritage as birthplace of writer Lu Xun and the historical capital of the ancient Yue kingdom. Evening soaks after a day exploring Shaoxing's canal waterways and rice wine distilleries are a regional highlight.
