August 4, 2019, DAY1 (Sunday):
In the morning:Depart from Shanghai at 8:20, drive to Shipu Seafood (Laixun Road Store)(No. 552-32 Laixun Road, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City) for lunch. The weather is also beautiful along the way. Wherever my car drives, the heavy rain follows. It's really exhausting to the driver... After about 3 hours and 22 minutes, I arrived at the first stop of this food tour at 11:55. -Shipu Seafood, the store is not large, but one of the conveniences of this store is that the parking lot in front of the store is very, very large. This is my second visit to this store. A local friend from Xiangshan had treated it warmly before. What impressed me most was the boiled seafood, such as razor clams and snails... At first, no one dared to eat it. In the middle of thinking, anything cooked in white was bland. Even with sauce, wine, vinegar and other seasonings, it would make people feel that it was not delicious enough. But local friends told us: "Seafood is about its original flavor. Fresh and wild seafood should be cooked in white (locals love to cook in white). If it has been processed and cooked, it must be stale or artificially raised!" Hearing this, I gave it a try. It was indeed as my friend said that I didn't have to worry about being light at all. Moreover, the meat of the clam is fat and delicious without a grain of sand. It is really not the same as the seafood I usually eat... So this time, I led the team and went straight to this theme without saying a word. In particular, I liked it: seafood noodle bumps and seafood small miscellaneous fish are really delicious, and the clam is as perfect as ever; However, there are also some unsatisfactory things. The price of physical dishes is not clearly marked. Once we hear that we are from other places, everyone knows: Pippi shrimp 120 yuan/12, swimming crab 65 yuan/only... Another reminder: Eat less non-seafood hard dishes! The slightly salty roasted chicken wings cost 50 yuan/8 (the friends I brought here couldn't stop me from asking for them), and in the end, I ate 3 of them hard, and I was drunk...
Afternoon:At 14:10, we drove to Xiangshan Shipu (One Side) Sea View Room (4-1-1702, Sunshine Yayuan, Shipu Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City). At 14:48, we arrived at the booked B & B in Sunshine Yayuan. What came to view was the floor design combining plain concrete floor and wooden floor. It was modern and simple. The biggest highlight was the large screen of the living room and the circular design of hollowed out prisoners on the ground, where you could lie and watch a movie... We came for this design style, and we were not disappointed; the room type with three rooms, two halls and two bathrooms is definitely enough..
After everything is settled, drive to Shipu Vegetable Market (No. 85 Ligang Road, Shipu Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City) at 16:10 to buy ingredients. Shipu Vegetable Market is located on the edge of the ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port. It is a comprehensive vegetable market. Due to the reference from lunch, we bought dough dumplings, clams, prawns, and razor clams... It is worth mentioning that 50 yuan/kg of swimming crabs (about 25-30 yuan/individual) bought a total of 6...
Evening:Back at the B & B, with the lunch experience, my friends with the chef attributes cooked a table of dishes (simply stir-fried or boiled in plain water), and our feast party began here... Living in Shipu, Xiangshan (One side) Sea view room (3 rooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen and 2 bathrooms: 2394 yuan/two nights).
August 5, 2019, DAY2 (Monday):
In the morning:Get up at 7:20 for breakfast. At 8:40, drive to China Fishing Village Sunshine Coast Scenic Area (No. 1 Huangcheng Avenue, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City)(Ticket: 60 yuan/person). Coming to this beach is purely for children to play with sand and sea water. In fact, the sea water here is not clear and a little yellow. The sand here should not be called that, but rather sand.
Only this seaside has a Ferris wheel. You can sit on it high above and overlook the vast sea in front of you. It feels good.
noon:At 11:30, go to Pang Dasao Fisherman's Food Store (in the Chinese Fishing Village Scenic Area on Huangcheng Avenue, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City) for lunch. Originally, everyone had some expectations for this online celebrity restaurant, but it was difficult to swallow after tasting it. Neither the freshness nor taste of the ingredients could be compared to the Shipu Seafood (Laixun Road Store) we ate on the first day. I was very disappointed. Especially the meat quality of the mantis prawns is not fresh enough...
Afternoon:At 15:30, drive to Shipu Vegetable Market to buy ingredients. Today's swimming crabs are cheaper. I bought 8 at 40 yuan/catty (about 20-25 yuan/catty)(yesterday, the price of seafood rose because fishing boats were unable to go out to sea due to heavy rain). In fact, the experience and summary of the two-day trip: First, it is best to have local people lead you when you come to Xiangshan to taste fresh and delicious seafood. Most Internet celebrities are not delicious; second, without local friends leading you, you can choose to go to the local food market to buy fresh ingredients, and the value for money is still good (remember to choose to stay in a B & B). Live in Xiangshan Shipu (one side) Sea View Room (3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen and 2 bathrooms: 2394 yuan/two nights).
Evening:At 19:15, drive to Shipu Fishing Port Ancient City (No. 4 Jiangxin Street, Shipu Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City)(Ticket: 60 yuan/person). It has a mountain on one end and a sea on the other. It is a mountain city fishing port located halfway up the mountain and facing the sea. It has a history of more than 600 years. The city retains many simple old houses and complete city walls. These characteristics are also unique. The ancient city is not big and can be visited in 15 minutes (no tickets are charged after 17:00 in the evening); but compared with Jiufen in Taiwan, it is slightly coquettish.
August 6, 2019, DAY3 (Tuesday):
In the morning:At 7:40, go to Old Lady Seafood Noodles (No. 55 Huolotou Road, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City) for breakfast. It is located near Shipu Vegetable Market on the edge of the ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port. Although the store looks a bit crude, it has been operating here for 32 years. The price of noodles is divided into several levels. The price difference lies in the toppings. The more natural seafood varieties, the more expensive. The delicious flavor of this store's soup is one of the best in the world. It can be described in one word: fresh...
After returning to the B & B to pack your luggage, I drove to Tianyi Square (No. 188 Zhongshan East Road, Haishu District, Ningbo City) at 9:40. After about 1 hour and 51 minutes, we arrived at the last destination of the trip at 11:40.
noon:At 12:00, go to Gangyagou (Tianyi Plaza Store)(No. 68, Crystal Street, Haishu District, Ningbo City) for lunch. It is said that Ningbo Tangyuan is notoriously delicious, so I came here to taste it.
Afternoon:Drive back to Shanghai at 15:00.
