Ningbo, a sub-provincial city in Zhejiang Province (Zhejiang B)
Located in the northeast of Zhejiang Province
Ningbo formerly known as Mingzhou
In 1381, Zhu Yuanzhang solicited the name change
Taking the meaning of "Hai Ding Ze Bo Ning", it was renamed Ningbo.
There are four high-speed trains from Beijing to Ningbo
I only got the last bus
Arrive in Ningbo at 11pm
Lasted more than 6 hours
Ningbo Station is a high-speed rail station
It’s difficult to call a taxi using Didi when leaving the station
It is customary not to get into a taxi parked in front of the station.
I don’t know if the meter is printed or if there is any problem with it.
The B&B is within 2km of the train station
Walking is not unbearable
Ningbo feels sparsely populated at 11 o’clock
On the one hand, many locals go out to play during the National Day
On the one hand, this place is also a bit desolate.
When I got to the B&B, I took a shower and went to bed.
Refresh yourself and prepare for the city tour the next day
day1 Tianyi Pavilion-Drum Tower-Zhongshan Square-Nantang Old Street-Ningbo Old Bund
Even though it's a holiday, my schedule is still the same as when I go to work. I wake up at around 8 o'clock.
Go straight to Tianyi Pavilion
Thinking that it was not far away, I walked over
Canals are everywhere
The fragrance of osmanthus in October
After passing the customs building, you will arrive at Tianyi Pavilion.
There are also pavilions and pavilions outside the scenic area.
Even if you don’t go in, you can still take a nap here.
Tickets are 30 yuan/person, and you can only feel the flow of people in the scenic area.
Tianyi Pavilion is famous for its large collection of books and has a history of more than 400 years.
The construction was presided over by Fan Qin, the right minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty who retired at that time.
Covering an area of 26,000 square meters
In addition to collecting books, Tianyi Pavilion also adopted typical Jiangnan gardens in its construction.
In addition to admiring the interior furnishings, the rockeries and rocks are also worth savoring.
After seeing many gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, I can’t help but marvel at the ingenuity of the ancients.
When you enter the door, you will see the statue of Fan Qin. Every brick and tile in the courtyard is carved with patterns.
The lion relief on the screen wall is lifelike
Shaded by green trees, there is a shallow pool of water at the bend with a few water lilies floating in it
The first room is the former residence of paradigm
Separated from the book collection area
There are 173 monuments in Mingzhou Stele Forest
Embedded in the wall, it’s easy to miss it if you don’t look carefully
Dongming Caotang is the earliest Fan Qin library
Named after Fan Qin’s nickname
Go further and you will reach Tianyi Pavilion
As the earliest existing private library in my country
When designing, Fan Qin took the meaning of heaven and water.
A pond was also dug in front of the building to store water in case of fire.
During the tour, I smelled a strong smell of antiseptic chemicals.
East Garden is a garden
Climb up the rockery and overlook the courtyard
The water is light and the sky is dim, and the rocks on the bank of the pool are exquisite.
The scenic area is so big that you will inevitably lose your direction
Walking through the corridors and alleys, breaking into unknown houses
The most interesting one is undoubtedly the Exhibition Hall of the Origin of Mahjong
Originally the ancestral hall of Mr. Chen Zhengyao’s family
Displays the history of Mahjong and the relationship with Ningbo
and showcased mahjong tiles from around the world
Look carefully, the ground is made of mahjong
Next to it is the sedan hall
There is a finely crafted Wan Gong sedan in the middle.
Wooden openwork, lacquered vermilion and gilded, extremely complex
Further to the edge is the Qin family branch temple.
The ancestral hall takes the screen wall, stage gate, stage and main hall as its central axis.
It integrates folk crafts such as wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, gilding, and copying.
It is a masterpiece of Ningbo residential architectural art.
It took more than an hour to visit Tianyi Pavilion
Ningbo’s scenic spots are not too far
Walk to Drum Tower
Gulou Pedestrian Street also integrates dining and entertainment
The streets are busy
Snack customs are a fusion of characteristics from all over the country
Across Gulou Street is Zhongshan Square
I originally wanted to go to "Ala Ming Zao" for lunch, a must-eat dish in Ningbo
As a result, we had to wait for more than 80 tables.
I chose Quzhou cuisine from the nearby restaurant "Deshu Queli"
Who would have thought that Quzhou food could be so spicy
Quzhou duck head, fried green tomatoes, thick soup snails, etc.
It tastes pretty good, but it hurts my tongue.
Friends who can eat spicy food can give it a try
Serving speed is also very fast
Visit Nantang Old Street near dusk
Built along the river, most of them are antique buildings
More than 300 meters in total length
Shops line up on both sides
Whichever restaurant has the best taste?
"Youzanzi" has the longest queue It looks like a twist and is said to be the favorite among Ningbo people
"Internet celebrity rice cake" is also available
The pan-fried rice cakes are crispy and the sweet noodle sauce makes them glutinous and sticky
"Sixteen-frame Wonton" specializes in wontons and can also be paired with pan-fried and magnolia jelly
There are just too many people and the dining environment is average.
It is said that the glutinous rice balls at "Cang Ya Dog" are good
If you don’t eat glutinous rice balls in Ningbo, your visit is in vain
After sweeping Nantang Old Street back and forth
Just take a taxi to Laowaitan
The Old Bund was one of the four major ports in China during the Tang Dynasty
And became the starting point for Jianzhen’s eastward journey
In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was one of the three major ports in China.
Now it has been transformed into a representative scenic spot in Ningbo.
Foreign consulates, Catholic churches, banks, and ship terminals are lined up
Recording the history of Ningbo’s opening of the port
Private houses and European-style buildings are in sharp contrast
Various bars are opened
Accompanied by neon lights
Performing feasting and feasting
Take a taxi from Laowaitan and press Jio
It’s a reward for a hard day’s work~
day2 One-day trip to Xiangshan: Chinese Fishing Village-Xiangshan Film and Television City
Ningbo has jurisdiction over 6 districts, 2 counties, and 2 county-level cities.
You can walk around the city in one day
And the urban area is not close to the sea
When planning the itinerary, I took a fancy to Xiangshan
But if you travel freely in Xiangshan,
Traffic will be very inconvenient
Most people will choose to travel by car
After all, there is no such condition
I found a one-day tour group to Xiangshan on Mafengwo.com
190 yuan/person including round-trip transportation + tickets to Xiangshan Film and Television City/China Fishing Village
In addition, accommodation in Xiangshan is expensive and the conditions are average.
So I chose to go and return on the same day
Of course, if you want to stay at the beach for a while, you can stay for 1 night.
Gather at the designated place at 7:30 the next day
I didn’t expect that a 55-seater bus was full.
On the third day of National Day, the roads are no longer so congested.
The tour guide introduced us to the history of Ningbo and Xiangshan along the way
You will also pass by the Xiangshan Port Bridge in the middle.
The scenery is pretty good
It took more than 2 hours to drive to the Chinese Fishing Village
Chinese Fishing Village is located in Shipu, Xiangshan
It is the largest original ecological seaside leisure tourism resort on the east coast of China.
In fact, this place is more like an enclosed beach.
Several restaurants and entertainment facilities were built
The whole scenic spot is not big
The main thing is to go to the beach and tread water.
There are not as many tourists as I expected on National Day
The entire scenic spot is also slightly desolate
Most restaurants and souvenir shops are closed
Maximum 1 hour of shopping
You need to prepare lunch by yourself at noon
Check the nearby Dianping reviews
Mostly seafood
But the scenic spot is expensive and has a bad reputation
You can only walk more than one kilometer to eat at Kaiyuan Hotel
(Ranked first by local Dianping)
After all, it’s close to the sea
If you don’t eat seafood, you’ll feel like you’re here for nothing.
No menu
Go directly to order seafood
Kill now and cook now
Jiangsu and Zhejiang have delicious rice cakes
The swimming crab fried rice cake is a must
Then there are common seafood such as oysters and scallops
But there’s no menu and I’m still confused
The prices are all the weighing price of seafood
I really have a headache when I order food.
It tastes just average
Sorry for the rating
At checkout, two swimming crabs cost more than 300.
I feel so lonely
It’s not easy to take a taxi in Xiangshan
After dinner, we went to Xiangshan Film and Television City
In fact, what I look forward to most when visiting Xiangshan is the film and television city
(Popular Science Time: The top ten film and television bases in China are Hengdian Film and Television City, Shanghai Film and Television Park, Zhongshan Film and Television City, Changying Century City, Beiputuo Film and Television City, Tongli Film and Television Base, Xiangshan Film and Television City, Zhenbeibao Western Cinema, and Jiaozuo Film and Television City, Zhuozhou Film and Television City)
Although I have already been to Hengdian and Zhenbeibao
Movie and TV cities are basically the same.
But the obsession of girls who follow dramas should not be underestimated
The origin of Xiangshan Film and Television City was in 2003 when Zhang Jizhong filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
It was built in the style of the Song Dynasty
The more famous one is Xiangyang City
Later, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States cities were built one after another (filmed in Mi Yue Zhuan).
Journey to the West Paradise (New Journey to the West filming)
Republic of China City and Tang City (shooting at the twelve o'clock in Chang'an)
In addition, there are also "Nirvana in Fire", "Prince Concubine's Promotion" and "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom"
Most popular IPs are shot here.
Come in and catch the scheduled performances in the scenic area
Scenic area staff wear heavy costumes on a hot day
Play characters from popular TV series that were filmed here
Although the makeup is rough and it is performed repeatedly every day, rain or shine
But as a job, you can only stick to it
When I was watching the show, I felt that it was so hard to make money.
I digress...
The scenic spot is super big
Divided into several scenic spots
The tour guide took us on a counterclockwise tour
We went to "Qingqiu Peach Grove" first
although it was gorgeous and spectacular on TV
But you can’t help but be disappointed if you are there
It’s not the flower season, so the bare tree trunks inevitably lose their appearance.
Other flower plantations have also been transformed into film and television bases
Going further is Xiangyang City
In addition to the buildings, the scenic spot will also arrange some scheduled performances.
Entering the sideshow by mistake
Watched an uncomfortable acrobatics (swallowing swords, swallowing iron balls...)
Then I got separated from the tour guide
You can only wander around the park as you like
Qingqiu Fox Cave where Bai Qian lives in the Huaguoshan Waterfall
I can’t help but admire the ingenuity of the set designer
The adjacent Tangcheng is not allowed to visit for the time being.
I don’t know if it’s filming
Transfer from Huaguoshan to the market
Completely another style
Street decorated with lanterns, streamers and oil-paper umbrellas
In order to prevent everyone from acting
The small vendors along the street are also dressed in the same ancient costumes
Of course, there is also a service for renting costumes and taking photos
In addition to checking in famous scenes from the TV series
It’s really boring and tight
You don’t need to walk through the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period by yourself
You can take a free train
I finished it in 5 minutes after waiting for more than half an hour
Because I can't take a closer look
Tasted it cursorily
The architecture is a bit rough
Minguo Street, which is closest to the exit, has become my favorite
It has a retro feel from the beginning of the last century
The architecture and decoration are more modern
Wearing a cheongsam looks absolutely stunning with this scene
She seems to be the wife of a certain warlord
Walking in the bustling streets
Shopping for almost 3 hours
My legs are broken
It took almost two hours to get back to the city.
After disbanding at the designated place
We took a taxi to Tianyi Square
I thought there were few people in Ningbo two days ago (I thought everyone was out during the National Day
As a result, we were almost squeezed to death in the square.
Not only does every restaurant with high ratings require a wait for a table
The festive atmosphere in the business district is also pushing this crowding and noise to a climax
In the end, I could only find it while walking.
We didn’t eat at Yongshang Grandma Bridge until after eight o’clock
I personally thought it was a similar chain brand to Grandma’s
They all specialize in Jiangsu and Zhejiang home-cooked dishes.
The taste is acceptable
By the way, I unlocked Zhejiang’s local milk tea brand “Gu Ming”
Amway gives the whole world grape pops, frozen and ignorant of spring.
It’s the equivalent of Heytea (20 a cup~)
day3 Good Brothers Seafood-Hangzhou
Ningbo Day 2.5
Sleep until you wake up naturally and go directly to have lunch
Because I had a seafood meal in Xiangshan that was not very cost-effective
So I went to Ningbo to find out if there was any cost-effective seafood.
I found a restaurant with good ratings and no need to wait for a table
Also a chain restaurant
You also need to go to the kitchen and look at the raw materials to order.
Ordered a fried glutinous rice ball (fried glutinous rice balls and then stir-fried)
I thought I would add some prunes and stir-fry them together
In the end, there were only glutinous rice balls
Not too crispy and tastes average
The swimming crab fried rice cake is okay (but the swimming crab cost 100+
This is the end of your leisure trip in Ningbo
Ningbo is not big but prosperous enough
Plus having natural resources
It can be regarded as a weekend trip destination in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
