Ningbo Travel Notes | 2 swimming crabs for 300 yuan, I felt lonely~

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
