In everyone's eyes, Ningbo is a place to eat seafood. My mother's ancestral home is Ningbo. Every time we come back, we do eat seafood and talk about stinky wax gourd. This time, by chance, Xi'an transferred flight to Ningbo, I stopped by for 3 days and flipped through Ctrip's strategy-attractions. There was actually such a good place to combine petty bourgeoisie and history.

[Trip]

D1: Drum Tower--Ninghai Restaurant--Nantang Old Street--Old Bund at night

[Gulou Pedestrian Street]

Located in the range of Ningbo's sub-city in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Drum Tower was originally the south gate of the sub-city in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It has always been a lively market integrating commerce and culture. It is a hot spot with prosperous commerce and profound cultural atmosphere.

[Futaroshi]

Located at No. 91 Xiaowen Street, Haishu District, Ningbo City, it is a Qing Dynasty building and was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province in 2005. The main building faces west and east. This house is the library building of Feng Zhenqun, a famous book collector and bibliographer in eastern Zhejiang, and is the front part of Zhao Shuru's house. The house was donated to the government by Feng Mengzhuan after his death, and now houses the Feng Mengzhuan Memorial Hall.

[Ninghai Restaurant]

Ninghai Restaurant is a seafood restaurant with a good reputation in Ningbo. It focuses on small local seafood in Ningbo. The environment in the store is not luxurious but very clean and tidy. The seafood has always been fresh and is a choice for many people for dinner and daily life.

[Nantang Old Street]

Located outside the south gate of the ancient city of Ningbo, the "South Gate Three Cities", which were once the gathering place of old Ningbo's commerce and culture, are among the eight historical districts of Ningbo. Descendants of the famous Song Dynasty scholar Yuan Xie lived here for all time. The existing Yuan family residence in the area is the largest.


The first phase of the plan focuses on catering and delicious food. At the same time, it rejuvenates and inherits some Ningbo time-honored merchants, introducing traditional catering brands such as Ningbo Yifu, Zhao Dayou, Jiqiazhai, Caohu Food and a number of gourmet snacks with local characteristics, such as Ninghai Wufengtang, Yuyao Yellow Fish Noodles, and Cicheng Four Seasons Fragrant Rice Cake.

The second phase of the building is mainly based on the Jiangnan residential style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, interspersed with the Republic of China style buildings, and has traditional architectural sketches such as stage, octagonal pavilion, and wind and rain corridor.

"The past and present life of an old street", the comparison between the two alleys arouses our desire to understand the old street.

The clean and tidy old street is a little deserted, but this loneliness gives me more peace in my heart.

The simple and lively architectural style exudes the charm of Jiangnan characteristics.



Various specialty shops are inlaid in the buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a unique flavor.



There is one cultural protection unit and 6 cultural protection points in Nantang Old Street


The brand "Just to recall the taste of childhood" arouses tourists 'desire to buy. Even if they don't buy it, they have to stop and see what childhood tastes like.



The former residence of my country's famous director Yuan Muzhi (March 3, 1909-June 30, 1978), formerly known as Yuan Jialai, was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang. One of the earliest organizers and leaders of the Chinese people's film industry. In 1946, Yuan Muzhi was appointed as the first director of the Northeast Film Studio and the first director of the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture. He was elected as a representative of the First National People's Congress, a member of the First and Second China Literary and Art Circles, and the First China Film Workers Association Vice Chairman, resigned due to illness in 1952. The Road Angel movie is his masterpiece.

◆ The tour promotion is also very good. Many machines can get a free picture book map by paying attention to the public account. (Later, I found that there are many scenic spots, and I feel that Shanghai can learn from Ningbo.)

[The Old Bund at Night]

Ningbo's Old Bund, opened in 1844, is located in the center of Ningbo City, at the confluence of the three rivers of the Yongjiang River, Fenghua River and Yuyao River.Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been one of the most prosperous ports, and was once the earliest port area opened to the outside world among the "Five Ports Trade". Twenty years older than the Shanghai Bund, it is one of the few remaining Bund with a century history in China.


Hangzhou has the New West Lake, Shanghai has the Xintiandi, and Ningbo has the Old Bund. The old Bund, with a construction area of 80,000 square meters, includes all functions of personalized consumption.

After a century of loneliness, on January 1, 2005, Ningbo's Old Bund, which invested 600 million yuan, reopened, forming a corner with Ningbo Tianyi Square.

Along the riverside, foreign consulates, Catholic churches, banks, and ship terminals are lined up, recording almost the entire history of Ningbo's opening as a port. These buildings are at least more than 100 years old.

The preserved cultural relics and buildings include: the British Consulate, Patrol House, Water Command of the Japanese Invaders, Zhejiang Customs, Catholic Church, Jiangbei Jesus Holy Church, Ningbo Post Office, Tongshang Bank, etc., as well as some private houses, such as the old "Hongchangyuan", merchants 'private residences "Yan's Villa","Zhu Residence" and other buildings. These buildings have a strong European style and represent the architectural styles of many countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and Netherlands. It is in sharp contrast to traditional Chinese houses.

[Former site of patrol house]

This three-story building with a Chinese-style three-bay brick and wood structure located at No. 59 Zhongma Road is the former site of Ningbo's earliest patrol house.

[Li Residence]

Li Zhai is the old house of Li Yunshu, a famous businessman in the late Qing Dynasty. It is located at No. 6, Lane 76, Erheng Street, Lao Bund. It is a typical Jiangnan courtyard building. It completely retains the style of Jiangnan traditional dwellings. The building layout adopts a three-in-one H-shaped structure, and a triple horse-head wall can be seen in front of the door. The horse-head wall is also called the wind and fire wall. It can block the fire source and is also a symbol of identity. The owner of the house, Li Yunshu, was awarded a fourth-grade official title, and the triple horse-head wall showed his extraordinary identity. Li Yunshu's ancestral home was Xiaogang, Zhenhai. He was born in the Xiaogang Li family, an important family in the Ningbo Gang. Mr. Li is a leader in the business world. He is not only a famous investment king, but also a patriotic Confucian businessman. Zeng and Yu Qiaqing and others established Siming Bank to provide a large amount of funds for Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Revolution of 1911. The Ningshao Shipping Company they established rescued a route under the monopoly of foreign powers, and also forced the then British merchant Swire Foreign Shipping Company to reduce the price of ticket tickets. A hundred years later, we can still see the prosperity of the Li family through the Li residence.

[Hongchangyuan]

The history of Ningbo Hongchangyuan is said to be traced back to the pastry workshop founded by Cixi merchants in the late Guangxu years. It is said that merchants from the north and south who pass through the port by ship all want to taste the Hongchangyuan cake! Although its Longfeng Golden Troupe, Yuanyang Wedding Cake, Shanbei Tea Food, Madou Crispy Candy, steamed buns and water made by Ningbo have experienced more than 80 years, they are still familiar to and relishing by the elderly in Ningbo.

In the 1930s, Hongchangyuan was a typical pastry shop with a "shop in front of the shop and a workshop behind the back". On the lintel of Hongchangyuan's current site in Ningbo's Old Bund, the words "Dragon and Phoenix Golden Tuan Yuanyang Wedding Cake Shanbei Tea Food, Madou Crispy Candy, Steamed Bun Water" can be clearly seen.

The building has three floors along the road, the rest are two-story wooden structures, and the front and facade are three-story. It uses concrete finishes and is symmetrical in three bays. There is no window on the second floor in the middle. It is decorated with vertical embossed. The top is protruding and is a fold-line mountain flower extending to both sides with a spiral vortex. The parapet on both sides are of a pillar transparent type. The contrast between primary and secondary is very strong, and the lines are simple, which is a typical Art Deco style. The entire building slopes from front to back with a single slope top, highlighting the height, style and attraction of the facade.

[Broken Wall Ruins]

Leaving the noisy Bar Street, 50 meters ahead there is a 1000-year-old broken wall ruins.


One of the physical symbols of the remaining foreign religions is the French Gothic building built in 1872-the Catholic Church, with a construction area of 4380 square meters.

D2: Dongqian Lake--Ningbo Museum--Old Ningbo Nongtang Restaurant--Old Bund Bar

[Dongqian Lake]

Dongqian Lake, also known as Qian Lake and Wanjin Lake, is the largest (natural) freshwater lake in Zhejiang Province, with an area three times the size of Hangzhou West Lake. It is praised by Mr. Guo Moruo as "the scenery of West Lake and the spirit of Taihu Lake."
Dongqian Lake has a history of more than 1200 years since its excavation, and it has become even more elegant after generations of dredging.

There are ten most famous scenic spots in Dongqian Lake. What we visited today was just one of them--[Xiao Putuo]

Xiaoputuo Scenic Area is the first newly built scenic area after the establishment of Dongqian Lake Tourist Resort. It consists of the lake center embankment and Xiaoputuo.

The lake center embankment, also known as Qian embankment, was first built in 1976. It divides Dongqian Lake into South Lake and North Lake. Xiaoputuo, also known as Xiayu, had built Xiayu Zen Temple, Guanyin Cave (Butuo Cave), Wanghu Pavilion and other scenic spots during the Southern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 800 years.

[Xiayu Temple]

It is an ancient temple with a history of more than 800 years. It is located on a small island called "Xiayu" in the heart of Dongqian Lake. It surrounds Dongqian Lake on the west, south and east sides, and Erling Mountain on the north side. It is adjacent to the "Butuo Cave". It is said that Shi Hao, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, built a "Butuo Cave" on Xinxiayu Island in Dongqian Lake in order to deny his mother's wish to go to Putuo, and relied on "Little Putuo" to build Xiayu Temple to recite scriptures and Buddhist scriptures for his mother.

In front of Xiayu Temple is a stone road running east-west. There is a stone turtle and a stone rabbit on the south side of the road, and two stone horses on the north side. It was built in 2002.

Also known as Guanyin Cave, it is a grotto of the Southern Song Dynasty with a history of more than 800 years. The hole is more than 40 meters long and about 3 meters high and wide. The carved stone statue of Guanyin and the Buddhist niche are carved in the cave. They are round and plump and have smooth lines, showing the superb craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen.

The Yuantong Hall is grand and has flying eaves and upturned walls. In the center of the hall is a lifelike "Thousand-handed Guanyin" facing south. Before the "Thousand Hand Guanyin", there was a Maitreya Buddha, with two children on both sides, with "Auspicious" in the east and "Ruyi" in the west. There are 32 portraits of Guanyin in front of the east and west walls of the hall, and many Buddha statues in front of the north wall

[Western Ship]

It is one of the two remaining Western ships in my country. The ship was built in the year of Gengchen and is made of two-layer reinforced concrete. It runs east-west. The three characters "Western Ship" are written on the north side of the hull. There is a Buddha statue on the second deck, facing west.

In the old days, it was the ancient ferry of Xiayu. Every time a monk went out, he called for a boat here, hence the name "Mountain Monk Hubu"

[Qian Di Smoke Wave]

The long embankment on the lake is surrounded by mist and mist, like smoke and fog. It is located at the entrance of the scenic area. It faces Taogong Island across the river in the west and is integrated with the embankment in the center of the lake in the east.

[Wangong sedan chair]

It takes a craftsman 10,000 working days to make this sedan chair, so it is called the "Wangong sedan chair". The sedan chair is 3 meters high, 1.5 meters long, 0.95 meters wide, and weighs about 200 kilograms. It takes eight big men to lift it. The roof of the sedan chair consists of five archways of varying sizes, called "Five Mountains Facing the Sky", symbolizing sublimity. On the top of the central pavilion stood a ferocious "Kuixing Dian No. 1 Champion" with a brush in hand, symbolizing the prosperity of literature. The corner of the pavilion is the dance head of a group of dragons, and the corner of the eaves is the spread of phoenixes. A total of more than 300 characters with different postures are displayed in the entire sedan chair, which are finely carved and lifelike.

[Bamboo Carving Art-Exhibition of Mingqing Bamboo Carving Treasures Donated by Qin Yinnian]

Most of the items displayed in the Ningbo Museum are the old collections of Mr. Qin Kangxiang, a famous bamboo carving collector and seal carving artist. In 2001, the bamboo carving art-the exhibition of bamboo carving treasures donated by Mr. Qin Bingnian was donated to the country free of charge. It collects a large number of representative works of famous bamboo carving artists such as Zhu Songlin, founder of Jiading School in the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Hao, a leading bamboo carving figure in Jiading during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and royal craftsmen of the Kangxi Dynasty, as well as many bamboo carving works with absolute chronological knowledge, including calligraphy slips, pen containers, incense cans, armrests, landscapes, figures, etc., and makes full use of deep embossed, open carving, shallow carving, green carving, round carving, etc. in the production techniques.

The exhibition hall is superimposed on it with a mountain typology. The public space is always multi-path. It starts from the ground and branches upwards to form a root-like labyrinth structure. The maze includes walking routes and two types of routes consisting of elevators and escalators, which can adapt to almost all pending museum visit streamlined patterns.

[Children's Area]

[Exterior wall characteristics]

The building of the Ningbo Museum is the work of the famous architect Mr. Wang Shu. The building itself is an "exhibit", and many people even come here to see the building. A large number of old bricks and tiles removed from old buildings in Ningbo are used on the exterior walls of the museum. If you look carefully, you can also find the symbols left on the bricks and tiles when they were fired back then.


The inside and outside of the building are wrapped in bamboo strip formwork concrete and a wall made of more than 20 types of recycled old bricks and tiles.

Using the design of visual illusion, when viewed from one side, the two walls intersect obliquely. Looking from one side, it was quite strange to see that it was parallel and nothing happened.

I heard from the volunteers next to me explain that there are still many stairs and platforms photographed by many TV dramas. Most of us didn't see them due to time constraints. I'll leave a regret and take other friends to visit them carefully next time.

[Old Ningbo Nongtang Restaurant]

If you want to eat authentic Ningbo food, come to this restaurant. The restaurant is located in a residential area and is all visited by locals.


[Old Bund Bar]

Bar Street is bustling after 8 p.m. It feels like all the play-loving friends are flocking here.

There are quiet bars and bars with strong music;

There are bars with hair blowing across the river and bars with stages;

There are folk bars and foreign rappers... There is always one for you.

This time with the children, I just sit down on the street, so that I can enjoy the river breeze and feel the atmosphere of different bars.

[Zhu Residence]

Zhu Zhai was a mansion built in 1935 by Zhu Xuchang, an early well-known businessman of the Ningbo Gang. Zhu Xuchang is a Shanghai tycoon born in Ningbo. He invested and founded Ningbo Jinhua Xing in his early years. It operates Asia Petroleum and has set up branches in Ningbo, Shaoxing, Taizhou and other places. It has served as a member of the Ningbo City Government Construction Committee and a director of the National Banking Industry Association Association. It played an important role among the merchants of the early Ningbo Gang. This kind of experience also made his old house a combination of Chinese and Western, becoming the peak of Western architecture in China in the 1920s, and leading the fashion trend of the upper class at that time. A closer look at the building shows that it has a strong Western charm. The total area is approximately 276 square meters. The gate faces southeast and is built along the street. The street face is arc-shaped and the exterior facade is modeled on an ancient Greek temple. Ancient Roman Corinthian columns are decorated between the doors and windows. There are also exquisite rolled grass and flower baskets on the pillars. Many world-class buildings, including the Temple of Zeus, have adopted this column shape. In addition to its Western-style appearance, Zhu Zhai also has a Chinese heart. The internal structure still has a strong traditional charm. Its doors, windows and corridor layout are all in traditional Chinese style. This combination of Chinese and Western countries has also led to a new revolution in China's upper-class housing at the beginning of this century.

[Yan's Villa]

When it comes to the surging economic history of China's modern times, there is a special group that must be mentioned. That is the Ningbo Gang, known as the number one gang in the world. The number one person in the Ningbo Gang is called Yan Xinhou. This Yan Family Villa was built by him for his family. Yan's Villa faces west and east, surrounded by three rivers. In the traditional architectural feng shui concept, this is a feng shui treasure place for wealth and gathering energy. It adopts an early steel concrete structure, and the overall style is very unique. The traditional herringbone slope tile roof is matched with the outline of a Western-style Baroque court. He is an outstanding representative of the combination of Chinese and Western countries. As legendary as his master.

Yan Xinhou started from scratch, relying on his ability and courage, he was recommended by Hu Guangyong and guaranteed by Li Hongzhang. He became an alternate road and was awarded the title of prefect. At the age of 57, he became the Henan Salt Administration Supervisor, and at the age of 58, he started his first industry, Tianjin Tongde Salt. This is the first bucket of gold in his life. In the decades that followed, his industry grew bigger and wider. For example, Tongjiuyuan Machine Ginning Factory, China's first machine ginning factory, Tongjiuyuan Yarn Factory, the first yarn mill in Zhejiang Province, Tongshang Bank, China's first bank, and Huaxing Insurance Company, China's first insurance company. In addition, she has invested and founded many industries in various fields. As the old saying goes,"If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are prosperous, you will benefit the world at the same time." Yan Xinhou is passionate about public welfare undertakings, building railways, schools, and setting up hospitals. It was also he who gained universal recognition and trust. At the age of 74, he served as Prime Minister of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and was re-elected for two terms. Under his leadership, the Ningbo Gang also developed from old-style business gangs to a modern entrepreneur group. Become a highlight in modern Chinese history

[Li Residence]

Li Zhai is the old house of Li Yunshu, a famous businessman in the late Qing Dynasty. It is located at No. 6, Lane 76, Erheng Street, Lao Bund. It is a typical Jiangnan courtyard building. It completely retains the style of Jiangnan traditional dwellings. The building layout adopts a three-in-one H-shaped structure, and a triple horse-head wall can be seen in front of the door. The horse-head wall is also called the wind and fire wall. It can block the fire source and is also a symbol of identity. The owner of the house, Li Yunshu, was awarded a fourth-grade official title, and the triple horse-head wall showed his extraordinary identity. Li Yunshu's ancestral home was Xiaogang, Zhenhai. He was born in the Xiaogang Li family, an important family in the Ningbo Gang. Mr. Li is a leader in the business world. He is not only a famous investment king, but also a patriotic Confucian businessman. Zeng and Yu Qiaqing and others established Siming Bank to provide a large amount of funds for Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Revolution of 1911. The Ningshao Shipping Company they established rescued a route under the monopoly of foreign powers, and also forced the then British merchant Swire Foreign Shipping Company to reduce the price of ticket tickets. A hundred years later, we can still see the prosperity of the Li family through the Li residence.

Yu Zhai]

Located at No. 72 Henghe Street, Haishu District, Ningbo, it is a Western-style brick-concrete structure building during the Republic of China. Henghe Street Yuzhai Henghe Street Yuzhai consists of two entrances. The main building faces west and east. The first entrance is a two-story building with six bays wide. The word "Zailu" was originally written on the lintel of the North Gate, and is now collected by the people. This house is large in scale and well-crafted. There are also five canals in the patio. The house is completely preserved and is a typical modern building. According to investigation, this house was built by Yu Qiaqing.

[Patrol Room]

This three-story building with a Chinese-style three-bay brick and wood structure located at No. 59 Zhongma Road is the former site of Ningbo's earliest patrol house.

The mention of the patrol house reminds me of those lives who disappeared under the British patrol guns during the May 30th tragedy. However, the patrol house in front of us is very different from the public rental patrol house we are familiar with. Although the Old Bund became a residence for Britain, France and the United States in 1862. However, its management model is a rare exception in modern Chinese history. The Ningbo Jiangbei Patrol House was not established by foreign powers, but was approved by Ningshao Daotai in 1864. The purpose was to safeguard the interests of the Chinese people and prevent foreigners. Later, he was taken power by foreigners, and foreigners who committed all kinds of evil acted as police officers. People who understand modern history should be able to feel the bloody temperament of Ningbo people under the outside. On the issue of sovereignty, Ningbo people are always surprisingly united, or have ruined their lives or sacrificed their lives. Facing the patrol houses controlled by foreigners, the people of Ningbo were furious. Chen Qianfu, supervisor of Ningbo Yizhi School, joined forces with Xu Youcheng of Yucai School and Yuan Lvdeng of Ningbo Fuzhong School to sign a letter to the authorities. After many negotiations and under pressure from the people, the Qing government finally made Ningshao Tai Road regain police power in 1909 and abolished the patrol house. 100 years have passed since the old Bund has changed several times. However, the patrol house was retained and listed as a municipal cultural relic protection unit. In order to witness the history of this struggle, but also for the spirit of Ningbo people's endless self-improvement.

[Hongchangyuan]

The history of Ningbo Hongchangyuan is said to be traced back to the pastry workshop founded by Cixi merchants in the late Guangxu years. It is said that merchants from the north and south who pass through the port by ship all want to taste the Hongchangyuan cake! Although its Longfeng Golden Troupe, Yuanyang Wedding Cake, Shanbei Tea Food, Madou Crispy Candy, steamed buns and water made by Ningbo have experienced more than 80 years, they are still familiar to and relishing by the elderly in Ningbo.

In the 1930s, Hongchangyuan was a typical pastry shop with a "shop in front of the shop and a workshop behind the back". On the lintel of Hongchangyuan's current site in Ningbo's Old Bund, the words "Dragon and Phoenix Golden Tuan Yuanyang Wedding Cake Shanbei Tea Food, Madou Crispy Candy, Steamed Bun Water" can be clearly seen.

The building has three floors along the road, the rest are two-story wooden structures, and the front and facade are three-story. It uses concrete finishes and is symmetrical in three bays. There is no window on the second floor in the middle. It is decorated with vertical embossed. The top is protruding and is a fold-line mountain flower extending to both sides with a spiral vortex. The parapet on both sides are of a pillar transparent type. The contrast between primary and secondary is very strong, and the lines are simple, which is a typical Art Deco style. The entire building slopes from front to back with a single slope top, highlighting the height, style and attraction of the facade.


[Hedefang]

Hedefang is located in the southwest of the core circle of the old Bund, also known as Hetaifang, and is relatively well preserved. Originally a traditional shop in old Ningbo. Mainly engaged in old-style department stores. The name Hede and Tai is the meaning of taking righteousness and harmony to generate wealth and convincing others to act calmly with virtue. The success of Hedefang is probably inseparable from this business philosophy. The biggest attraction of the Hedefang building visible now is the combination of Chinese and Western. Overall, it is a two-story wooden building. The front is the traditional three-pronged shape of Jiangnan houses. The black oil and vermilion grille doors, exquisite column arches and wood carvings are all traditional Chinese characteristics. However, he used improved Western-style designs such as Shikumen and graceful Baroque Guanyin Dou Gables. These small details all reflect Ningbo's wisdom of foreign people to serve their purposes. It is also a microcosm of the blending of China and the West in the Old Bund.

[Wang Residence]

At the beginning of the last century, due to the special nature of treaty ports and foreign detention places, mainly dignitaries from all walks of life built houses on the old Bund. The owner of the Wang residence was originally the residence of Wang Wenhan, a businessman during the Republic of China. In 1936, Wang served as chairman of East Zhejiang Commercial Bank, and after liberation, he served as president of Ningbo General Chamber of Commerce.
The royal residence was built in 1935 and covers an area of approximately 1250 square meters. It is a mixed structure of concrete, brick and wood. It consists of five 2-3-story main buildings and side rooms in imitation of Western architectural style. Each building has a patio in front and a garden in the back. The courtyard environment is elegant. The outer walls are decorated with more regular geometric patterns, and the interior is decorated with plaster roofs. The overall preservation of the building is relatively complete and is a large-scale outstanding modern building complex in Ningbo City.

[Catholic Church]

As one of the first five treaty ports opened in China, Ningbo is one of the most prosperous ports since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Since its opening in 1844, Ningbo's Bund has gradually become a foreign market with mixed places. On January 13, 1862, the consuls of Britain, France and the United States stationed in Ningbo signed an agreement. Ningbo's north bank of the river has thus become a residential area for British, French and American nationals. As a result, foreign religions gradually entered this place. Monasteries, Jesuits, and Catholic churches began to be established.

The main building of this Catholic church was built in 1876, and later added parts such as the bishop's office, scripture building, and bell tower. The current construction area is about 4500 square meters and is divided into the bishop's office, the parish, the church, the bell tower, the monastery and other parts. Its full name is the Cathedral of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady on the North Bank of the River. The seven sufferings of the Virgin Mary refer to the seven great sufferings that the Virgin Mary suffered in her life. The main church represents the special status of this church in the parish. It is the highest grade church building in Zhejiang.

The church building adopts the form of a single bell tower, with a "Latin" cross shape on the plane. From the stained windows, arches, vaults and other parts, a distinctive Gothic architectural style can be seen, but the beam-like internal structure combines spires and stone arches, witnessing that it also has Chinese characteristics. It has become an important example of the integration of early Chinese and Western architecture. Due to its special historical, cultural and artistic value, it is known as the leader of churches in Zhejiang Province. It was announced by the State Council as a national-level cultural relics protection unit in June 2006.


[Commercial Bank]

Tongshang Bank Ningbo Branch is a 6-story brick-concrete structure building (at that time it was also one of the tallest buildings on the north bank of the river in Ningbo's Laocheng District). The building is located at No. 37 Waima Road, Bund Community, Zhongma Street, Jiangbei District. It is located at Sanjiangkou, Ningbo, facing west and east, with a building area of approximately 2000 square meters. The existing building was built in 1930. It was initiated by Ye Chengzhong, Yan Xinhou, Zhu Baosan, etc., who traveled to Shanghai in Ningbo, and designed by Siemens in Germany. Until the early years of liberation, this building served as the address of the Ningbo Branch of International Commercial Bank of China (it was also the first branch established by International Commercial Bank in other provinces and cities except Shanghai at that time). In 1999, it was announced as a municipal cultural protection point.

Looking up at the building, its pagoda-shaped facade is painted with black marble, with double iron doors, solemn and solemn, the steps and the second facade are decorated with white marble, and the internal roof and surrounding walls are decorated with plaster, which has strong foreign architectural cultural characteristics. (There is a steel vault set up in the building. It is said that the key to opening the vault was lost during the chaotic handover, and it is said that the vault cannot be opened again.) Therefore, this is also an important witness to the development of Ningbo's financial industry and the historical changes of the Bund.

[Swire Yangxing]

Swire Foreign Company is a veteran British-funded enterprise founded by John Swire in Liverpool, England. Swire means a large scale and a long history. This name is still widely known in Asia and is a commercial institution that has had a profound impact on China in modern times. At the beginning of its establishment, Swire Foreign Trading was mainly engaged in textile trading. Imported raw cotton from America, processed into textiles and exported to China, and imported tea and silk from China. Later, Swire's successors discovered business opportunities in tanker transportation and established Swire Shipping Company in Shanghai in 1872. From then on, Taikoo Yanghang began to focus on the shipping business. Set up head offices in Shanghai, Tianjin and Hong Kong. It also set up branches in Nanjing, Shantou and other places. In 1877, Swire Yanghang Ningbo Branch was established in the Old Bund in Jiangbei. Its main business is ship transportation, as well as insurance companies, confectionery and other businesses. Ningbo Gang merchants also engaged in commercial wars with them. Rescue a national air route from the monopoly of landlordism. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Swire Yanghang withdrew from the Chinese market in 1954. Today, on the old Bund, Swire Yangxing still stands. It is a two-story Western-style house that is square and simple. It is a Chinese lilong-style building that embodies Western style after the opening of the port.


[Postal Site]

The former site of Ningbo Post Office is a Republic of China building on the north bank of the Ningbo River. It was built in 1927 and was the seat of Ningbo's first-class post office. The building faces east in west, facing the Yongjiang River and backing Zhongma Road. The house is two floors high, with a herringbone roof combined with a four-character roof, the exterior wall is a combination of blue bricks and red bricks, and the entrance column foundation is of the Ionic type. It is now a cultural relics protection unit in Zhejiang Province.

[Former Site of Zhejiang Customs]

Zhejiang Customs was established in the 24th year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1685). It was one of the four customs offices in old China at that time (Jiangsu Customs, Zhejiang Customs, Fujian Customs, and Guangdong Customs). After the "five-port trade", Ningbo established Zhejiang Haiyang Customs under the tax department system in 1861. Zhejiang Customs gradually transformed into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal customs until its liberation in 1949. The former site of Zhejiang Customs is an early and wonderful example of the modern architectural complex on the Bund in Ningbo. It was built in the 11th year of Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty (1861). It is a brick three-story corridor building with a loft. The exterior retains the simple and lively style of traditional Chinese architecture, with a total building area of 1,067.8 square meters. Zhejiang Customs is the earliest institution in my country that has begun to take shape in modern customs functions. It is a historical witness of early China's customs and has high historical and cultural value. In 2005, it became a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in Zhejiang Province, and in 2008, the Zhejiang Customs Site Museum was established.
