Meet Ningbo, the taste of the sea

When you talk about Ningbo, what do you think of?
Is it the mouth-watering seafood in the port? Or is there a modern and lively old Bund?
As one of the five largest treaty ports in history, Ningbo's customs and history are often much richer than we imagined. Today, Ningbo is one of the cities with relatively developed economies in Zhejiang. It has developed transportation and rich tourism resources. It is very popular among tourists. Whether it is the ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port with the harbor style, the children's paradise, the Fangte Oriental Divine Painting, or the Xiangshan Film and Television City, where countless ancient costume films have been born, the excitement of Ningbo far exceeds our imagination.

Ningbo has a long history and is the birthplace of Hemudu culture with a civilization history of more than 7000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, Ningbo became one of the starting points of the Maritime Silk Road and was known as China's three major foreign trade ports, along with Yangzhou and Guangzhou.

This is not my first time in Ningbo, but I have been to Ningbo's suburbs before, such as Xuedou Mountain and the hometown of Jiang's family. This time, I really went deep into the hinterland of Ningbo's city, allowing me to truly understand the city of Ningbo. I can also taste a lot of local seafood in Ningbo, which really satisfies my biggest wish to eat food. I have wanted to try Ningbo's seafood for a long time, but I never had the opportunity.

Shipu Yugang Ancient City

Ningbo used to be a small fishing village, but its development was also inseparable from the development of fisheries. Most local people relied on the sea to eat the sea, which enabled the small fishing village to develop into what it is today's prosperous appearance. Among Ningbo's fishing villages, the most famous one is Shipu Fishing Port Ancient City, an ancient city with a history of more than 600 years. It is an ancient fishing port-type ancient town rarely seen among famous historical and cultural towns in China. It is built along the mountains and the sea, with one end connected to the fishing port and the other hidden deep in the mountain valley. Therefore, everyone calls it a city on the port. The mountains are in the city.

The entire ancient city is very antique. The houses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties have been completely preserved. Go up the stairs in the streets and alleys of the ancient city to experience the history of this ancient city. There are many small attractions in the ancient city that need you to slowly discover and experience. The ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port is different from other crowded ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. There are relatively few tourists here and it is very suitable for people to stroll around.

The city wall is built with the ups and downs of the mountains, the city gates are shaped, and the old houses are built on steps. The winding paths move forward to reach the middle street of the ancient city. This was once a prosperous commercial street, but now it is completely preserved. Come down and become one of the witnesses of the ancient city.

The ancient city is not big and can be visited quickly, but it is worth visiting slowly. The ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port was once called the only living ancient fishing town in China by the famous literati Yu Qiuyu. You feel a particularly strong commercial atmosphere here, more of which is the local humanity. Most of the people staying here today are elderly people. The neighbors are familiar with each other and are very friendly to people.

Walking on the stone road of the ancient city and enjoying the tranquility that belongs exclusively to the ancient town. Many shops here are hung with colorful lanterns and beautiful potted plants. Especially on the outer walls of the two-story wooden buildings facing the street, most of them are hung with local unique flowers. The snail flowers planted in the shell of the conch are unique. They can be sold and are a beautiful scenery. The snail flowers of all sizes have become a sight of the ancient city.

The main attractions in the ancient fishing port city include Wengcheng, Guandi Temple, Medicine Shop, Qianda Pawnshop, etc. Wengcheng is located at the junction of Wanxing Street, Fujian Street and Zhongjie Street. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. There is a gate at the entrance and the double eaves of the tower at the exit. Guandi Temple is located at the head of the street in the city. The gate and walls are red. This is a place where local people go to worship and pray for peace. Especially on holidays, many local people gather in front of the Guandi Temple.

There are also many shops selling local specialties and antiques on the streets of the ancient city, attracting tourists. Most of the delicacies in the ancient city are about seafood. For example, the most common shrimp cakes are freshly salvaged shrimp from the fishing port. When pasted in batter and fried in oil, they become snacks that many people don't eat or shop around. If you like seafood, I believe that the seafood feast here will definitely make you feast. Most of the shops here are decorated in a very literary and artistic manner, becoming a favorite place for many young people and allowing them to take beautiful photos.

The walls, doors, streets and alleys in the ancient fishing port exude a strong flavor of fishermen. Walking on the old street, you will encounter old houses or historic sites when you see them around the corner. These are the traces of life left by the ancestors of the fishing port. In fact, the ancient city has also been rebuilt, but these simple buildings have been preserved because they carry the historical and cultural heritage of the fishermen.

Walking out of the ancient city, you will find a natural fishing port. After all, it is an ancient fishing port. It was also the fishing port that ancestors built the ancient city here. The front of the entire harbor is surrounded by several slender islands, leaving only a few small outlets to the sea. Therefore, there are almost no waves in the harbor and it is a calm haven. Shipu is like a gift from nature to local fishermen. Many locals have devoted their lives to the fishing industry.

Of course, when you come to Shipu Fishing Port, you must have seafood. Almost every restaurant here is related to seafood, and the ingredients are freshly salvaged from the harbor of the Qing Dynasty. Whether it is the dried small fish as the starter, or various kiwei shrimps, fish, clams, are full of the strong flavor of eastern seafood and are must-tasted delicacies after coming to Ningbo.

Xiangshan film and television City

When it comes to film and television cities, the first thing many people think of is Hengdian. As China's Hollywood, the film and television dramas filmed in Hengdian have a very long time span. However, with the vigorous development of China's film and television industry, Hengdian is not enough. In Xiangshan, Ningbo, not far from Hengdian, there is also a very famous film and television city. The well-known "The Condor Heroes" and "Nirvana in Fire" were born here. It is Xiangshan Film and Television City. Like Hengdian, it has both the role of film and television drama shooting and tourism.

The birth of Xiangshan Film and Television City also starts with "The Condor Heroes" directed by Zhang Jizhong. As a martial arts fan,"The Condor Heroes" can be said to be the enlightenment of many people in the martial arts world, and its filming location is in Xiangshan Film and Television City. Because director Zhang Jizhong chose this place to shoot "The Condor Heroes" and tailor-made it to match the plot. Later, as more and more film and television dramas were filmed here, the scale of the film and television city also continued to expand. From 2005 to the present, in 15 years, there has been only one Condor Heroes City to the current six functional areas. From the first "The Condor Heroes" to the publication of more than 1300 film and television works, Xiangshan Film and Television City has been recognized by more and more people.

Located in the Datanggang Ecological Leisure Tourism Zone, Xinqiao Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo, the film and television city is based on Lingyan Mountain and combines local natural landscapes such as mountains, rocks, caves, water, and forests. It is China's first theme park for live-action movies and a 4A-level scenic spot. Because there are many crew filming in Xiangshan Film and Television City, many people come here to chase stars. As long as there are people, there will be vitality for development. Just as Hengdian Film and Television City has driven tourism in Hengdian, Xiangshan Film and Television City has also successfully driven the development of tourism in Xiangshan.

Xiangshan Film and Television City combines the film and television base with tourism. Based on the popular TV series "The Condor Heroes" and "Three Lives of Three Lives of Peach Blossom", the film and television city is divided into 6 areas, including buildings from different periods. From the Qin and Han Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, the span is also very large. The martial arts style of martial arts martial arts villages, the fantasy world in novels, the Star Dream Factory, the Republic of China City, etc. One film and television city allows us to see all representative buildings and culture in Chinese history.

Among them, the Condor Heroes City is the place where the most people go for pilgrimage. Xiangyang City is the representative of this theme area. Xiangyang City is located at the north gate of the film and television city. The two towering gates seem to make people feel the momentum of the Xiangyang War. Later, Xiangyang City was also used as the filming site of Jinling City in "Nirvana in Fire". In the City of the Condor Heroes, there are also places we are familiar with, such as Guiyun Village, Qieqing Valley, and Lujiazhuang, which once brought us back to Jin Yong's martial arts world.

The architectural style of the Republic of China City is unique and is also a venue favored by many directors. It is the third Urban area built after the Condor Heroes City and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States City. It is composed of hundreds of typical buildings from the Republic of China, streets, Shikumen, courtyards, etc. The layout in the city completely restores and artizes the architectural style of the combination of Chinese and Western during the Republic of China. If you look carefully at those houses, you will find that the details of these architectural designs are very sophisticated, just like stepping into the society of the Republic of China.

There are also many high-tech experience projects in the city of the Republic of China, such as experience halls such as "Battle of Songhu" and "Disclosure of Film and Television". Through the combination of sound, light and electricity, you can truly experience the stories that happen in film and television dramas. Flash mob shows are also staged from time to time in the Republic of China City, which can be watched for free.

The film and television city combines the plots and real scenes of the film and television dramas, and cooperates with the wonderful performances in the scenic area. It brings us into the scenes of the film and television dramas to stroll and enjoy, enhancing the degree of interaction, experience and fun during the play. You can rent a set of ancient costumes full of immortals and take photos full of martial arts in a Jianghu town. If you are lucky, you can also meet fans and have close contact with celebrities. You can do your homework in advance before going, and you can meet your idols by chance.

As another major film and television base in Zhejiang, the scale and reputation of Xiangshan Film and Television City have gradually caught up with Hengdian Film and Television City, and has also become another business card for Ningbo tourism. Unlike Hengdian court drama, Xiangshan Film and Television City gives people more a kind of martial arts temperament, restoring the martial arts world that is only in books to our eyes, and fulfilling the martial arts addiction.

old Bund

When it comes to the Bund, the first thing everyone thinks of is Shanghai. Indeed, the night view of the Bund in Shanghai has become one of the most beautiful night views in China. Many people will definitely check in on the Bund on their first stop in Shanghai. In Ningbo, there is also an old Bund, located in Jiangbei District on the north bank of Sanjiangkou, and is the gateway to the ancient city of Ningbo. In Ningbo in summer, it is extremely stuffy during the day, but quite cool at night. You can come to the old Bund to blow the sea breeze and experience the comfortable night in Ningbo.

As an important port in China, the Old Bund has made Ningbo one of the five trading ports. Today's Old Bund, like the Bund, has shed its cloak of history and become the most vibrant place in Ningbo's nightlife. On the Old Bund, various urban construction pavilions, international hotels, world cuisine, urban apartments, living places and other places make the Old Bund a high-end and diversified commercial district.

Nowadays, young people in Ningbo like to have a drink at night on the bar street along the Old Bund. The price of the bar here is much cheaper than the price of the bar along the Bund in Shanghai. There were not many people in the old Bund during the day. It was only after night that it restored its original lively appearance. The hotels on both sides of the street had their seats moved out, and the dazzling lights illuminated the entire street.

Come and take a walk on the Old Bund and experience the charm of Ningbo. Although the Old Bund is now covered by more and more bars, those retro Chinese and Western buildings still add a touch of mystery to the place. Modern and retro elements collide with each other here.

Ningbo Tianyi Pavilion

China is a country that loves reading very much. There are thousands of books left behind from ancient times to the present. There are historical collection pavilions in every corner of China. Among them, not only China's four major collection pavilions were born, but also a collection pavilion has become the world's three famous private collections. This collection pavilion that can be juxtaposed with the world's libraries is Ningbo's Tianyi Pavilion.

Tianyi Pavilion is located in Haishu District, Ningbo. It was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is a representative work of Chinese book collection culture. Tianyi Pavilion is currently the earliest existing private library building in China, the oldest existing library in Asia and one of the three earliest private libraries in the world. As a result, Tianyi Pavilion has been listed as a 5A-level scenic spot and has an extraordinary status.

Tianyi Pavilion now contains 300,000 volumes of books, and has been increasing. It also has a special ancient book restoration department. Although the library is not large among the major library pavilions in China, it cannot hide its bright light. Walking into Tianyi Pavilion, the buildings here are full of the flavor of Jiangnan gardens. The gardens are surrounded by rockery and shaded by ancient trees. It is a good place to read books.

The Tianyi Pavilion Library Building faces north to south. It is a two-story brick and wood structure with a hard hill-top multi-storey building. In addition to the stairwell, there is a large communication room on the second floor, separated by bookcases. The place where books were once collected has now become an exhibition hall, displaying books collected by the Fan family all over the world. The main building of the Book Collection Pavilion is also quite particular, integrating various traditional folk crafts such as wood carving, brick carving, and stone carving. It is a masterpiece of Ningbo's residential architecture.

The owner of the library was Fan Qin, the retired right assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, who went through various twists and turns to collect the remnants of these ancient books. Later, he racked his brains to build a library to avoid fire and moth-proof. Finally, the site was located in Ningbo. His descendants have also stayed together for generations and completely protected Tianyi Pavilion. For 400 years, they have continuously stored ancient books in the attic, leading to its current scale. Nowadays, private libraries, which are the most abundant in books, are the cultural signboard that Ningbo people are proud of.

Over the past few hundred years, many literati and literati have been proud to go to Tianyi Pavilion to study. They have more or less left classic works here. For example, Yu Qiuyu's "Wind and Rain Tianyi Pavilion" is a way for many young people to know Tianyi Pavilion. The beginning. When everyone comes to Ningbo, they will come to Tianyi Pavilion for a walk. Whether it is reading books and reading literature, or walking through the gardens, it is a leisurely vacation.

Today's Tianyi Pavilion is not only a library containing various precious books, but also a simple and elegant garden. There are exquisite sedan chairs and stages with carved railings and painted buildings. The most interesting thing is that there is also a Mahjong Museum in Tianyi Pavilion. It is said that many terms in Mahjong are transformed from Ningbo dialect. Mahjong is closely related to Ningbo culture. A three-missing mahjong sculpture is particularly vivid.

Ningbo has the reputation of being the cultural capital of East Asia, and Tianyi Pavilion is Ningbo's representative cultural business card."Books contain ancient and modern times, Hong Kong connects the world, and the sky generates water, and the sea determines Boning" is the most perfect interpretation of it. In Tianyi Pavilion, you can see many tourists and locals coming and going. They either come to read and play, or enjoy the cool and chat, enjoy the tranquility of the garden, and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is the most leisurely vacation place in Ningbo.

fangte Oriental painting

There are online celebrity amusement parks Shanghai Disney, Guangzhou Chimelong Joy World, and Beijing Universal World, and China's local amusement parks also have their own characteristics. Among them, Fantasia Joy World is very popular among children. Ningbo Fangte, on the other hand, has oriental god paintings as the main body and is full of elements of traditional Chinese culture.

Ningbo Fangte Oriental God Painting is located on the south bank of the Hangzhou Bay New Area Cross-sea Bridge. As one of the most popular theme parks in East China, its popularity is obvious to all during the summer vacation. This is a large-scale high-tech theme park full of legends. A park completely set in Chinese history and culture. It is very different from Disney and Happy Valley that I have visited before.

When you first walked into the park, you saw not only the amusement facilities, but also the traditional and classical scenery, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings. This seemed not like an amusement park, but more like traveling through the scenes of ancient life. The buildings in the theme park are like carefully designed castles and palaces, each with its own characteristics. In addition to playing, people can't help but want to take photos.

Nuwa mends the sky, immortal butterfly love, great wall love, decisive battle at Jinshan Temple... More than 20 theme areas with different styles are like entering a journey of Chinese classical folklore. The entire park is also divided into eight categories: folklore, folk opera, classic love legends, mysterious culture, acrobatics and competition, folk festivals, and folk handicrafts, which vividly displays Chinese traditional culture through high-tech amusement facilities.

Among the Eastern God Paintings, the most popular ones are various real-life themed projects, such as Nuwa mending the sky, giant ring-screen movies and multi-angle dynamic tour buses, which take us into a real search for colorful divine stones. The magical journey reproduces the majestic scene of Nuwa taking stones to mend the sky.

The decisive battle at Jinshan Temple is also a popular event in the park. It is a form of taking a boat to watch a performance and returning to the misty and dreamy West Lake. Integrating disaster simulation, using high-tech such as water curtain movies and sky screen performances to express the authenticity of the mountains of water, it is really like being there. The tension of the White Lady Jinshan Temple fighting against the sea of law and the romantic love story in the legend of the White Snake deeply immerses people in it.

There is also a "Leifeng Tower" in the park, but it is not the Leifeng Tower on the West Lake in Hangzhou. It is modified based on the prototype. It is also a program venue. The Leifeng Tower where the White Lady is imprisoned is used to present a multi-faceted three-dimensional screen. In the stimulation of high-speed lifting, I experience the story of the White Lady's experience in Leifeng Tower. The rapid rise and suddenly stop, just like watching a performance while playing a jumping machine. There are scenes of demons fighting at the top. Very exciting.

Of course, there are not only various performance events in the Oriental Divine Painting. Various roller coasters can also satisfy you who like excitement. The most exciting thing in the park is probably the wooden roller coasters. After the roller coaster reaches the top, it speeds down 90 degrees, closes your eyes and your ears are filled with screams, and your body rolls into the sky, which will definitely stimulate your adrenaline.

The play projects in the park are like pieces of architectural art, full of the mysterious colors of Chinese myths and legends. There are also artistic portraits in the interactive area, which can create your own mythical pictures.
