Four wonderful and different types of intangible cultural heritages and handicrafts from Kaihua county – ranging from dance to beer – were recently recognized, according to local officials.

The county is located in Quzhou city in East China's Zhejiang province and officials said on Dec 18 that these fine examples of regional creativity were listed in the seventh batch of the Quzhou representative intangible cultural heritage items list.

Tangping bottle boiled chicken is a mouthwatering delicacy. It is smoked for three days and three nights, using pine branches and leaves as fuel. After one bite, the chicken literally melts away in the mouth.
