When it comes to Jiangnan, many people think of the first thing they think of is white walls and black tiles and flowing water... In Zhejiang, there is such an ancient city that is easy to be "misunderstood". It has a port history of more than 7000 years."It runs from the sea in the east, connects the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in the west, and transfers it to the north and south, and the port connects the world." Whether it is the carved flowers and trees in the Neolithic Era, the sea silk road in the Tang and Song Dynasties, or the deep-water harbor that now spans all directions, Both demonstrate its brilliance and brilliance as a world-famous port city. When talking about it, people's first reaction is always company with the sea. It seems easy to forget that it is also a typical Jiangnan water town, and what it reveals in its bones is a strong Jiangnan style. It is Ningbo, Zhejiang.

"Yong" comes to my heart

Ningbo is one of the five first treaty ports opened in my country and the fourth largest port city in the world. It was named the "Top Five Ports in the World" by British "Container International". It has beautiful spirits, lingering ancient charm, beautiful scenery, and rich products. It not only has more than 100 of the best in China and the best in the world, such as the world's earliest rice, the world's longest cross-sea bridge, and China's first deep-water harbor. It has also won many city honors such as national historical and cultural city, national garden city, China's most happy city, and charming city with Chinese characteristics.

As the first stop in the East of the "Maritime Silk Road", Ningbo is an ancient port with a history of more than 7000 years. The splendid Hemudu culture was born here. It not only has the earliest Bund in China, which is 20 years older than the Shanghai Bund, but also has Tianyi Pavilion, the oldest library in Chinese history. As one of the five first treaty ports opened in China, its name is world-renowned. It was named after Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, after the meaning of "Haidingze Bonin".

Day.01

From Huainan to Ningbo, the earliest high-speed rail is g7645, which leaves at 07:32 and arrives at 11:34 minutes. Because of the time, the first day of the trip was arranged in the urban area of Ningbo. This not only saved time, but also made good use of time and checked in for more scenery. In this way, from Ningbo Station, the subway can easily reach Yuehu Park, which is the beginning of travel in Ningbo.

Zoulu·Yuehu, East Zhejiang

The city we live in will always have a park, which is an important place for every citizen to relax and entertain, and has also become an important part of people's lives in this city. In the warm spring season, I go to the park to go green and enjoy flowers. In the scorching summer, the lotus pond in the park has long fallen into sharp corners. The depression of autumn does not cover the park, but more and more citizens exercise. Even in the cold winter, there are still many people here basking in the warm sun. Yes, it is this kind of park that has become a part of people's lives in this city. The same is true for Ningbo.

We are no strangers to Ningbo. As a city among the five largest trading ports in my country's history books, Ningbo is not only the outlet at the southern end of the China Universiade and the eastern departure port of the "Maritime Silk Road", but also its profound historical and cultural heritage. As early as 7,000 years ago, Ningbo's ancestors thrived and lived here, creating a splendid Hemudu culture. Of course, these are Ningbo that we are all familiar with. Whether it is natural landscapes or cultural landscapes, they are quite rich and colorful, so I won't go into them here. Today, among the many scenery in Ningbo, one can be said to be quite generous and generous scenic spot, and it is also a relatively low-key park in China-Yuehu Park.

First, let's take a look at Yuehu Park. Speaking of Yuehu Park, let's talk about its predecessor. It was first built in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. It was an artificial lake excavated by the ancients. At first, it was dug to solve the problem of drought, flood and drinking water in the city of Mingzhou. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, pavilions and pavilions were widely built here, and flower trees were planted all over the seasons., forming a beautiful scenery of the ten continents on the Moon Lake. There are many pavilions and pavilions around the lake, and flowers and trees are planted everywhere, forming an elegant and beautiful scenery of the ten continents. Later, literati and literati from all dynasties and generations traveled here and splashed ink on them. This place also became a place where literati and literati gathered.

The long history has made the Moon Lake many cultural landscapes today. So what cultural landscapes are there? Let's count the indelible historical traces left in Yuehu in history. Some of them lived in seclusion here, some came here to give lectures, some served as officials here, and some scholars wrote books here. Here are He Zhizhang, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Anshi, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shi Hao, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Jian, a famous scholar of the Song Dynasty, and Wan Si, a great historian in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

In addition, there are many cultural landscapes. The site of the Koryo Embassy, a historical witness to the foreign exchanges of Nyeongpo Port and the friendly exchanges between China and Koryo in the past; it has the highest humanistic taste, with the east being the Temple of Jushilin and Guandi. The existing buildings are the Hemijian Temple under the Ludian Bridge, which was renovated in the fourth year of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty; the Yintaidi Official House Museum, which provides examples for us to understand the architectural art of ancient Chinese official houses, the furniture art of the Qing Dynasty, the life and intrinsic cultural value of officials 'families; the Song Dynasty relic "Shuizhi Stele" used by the ancients to measure water levels, with the word "flat" on it, etc.

Yuehu has many cultural landscapes, and its natural landscapes are not inferior. In the park with Moon Lake as the center, more than 60 different sculptures are placed scattered along the lake. With the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter as the theme, the coast of Moon Lake is divided into four seasons dock watersides, with different scenery. Rich vegetation dot every corner of the park, and different flowers bloom in different seasons. This place has not only become a park in the hearts of Ningbo people, but also a tourist attraction for domestic and foreign tourists to check in in Ningbo.

It is precisely because of Yuehu Park's profound historical and cultural heritage and distinctive natural landscape that it has become the People's Park in the hearts of Ningbo people, a popular attraction that tourists must check in, and has been successfully promoted to a national 5A-level attraction. Why is it low-key? The reason is simple and simple. Yuehu Park is an irreplaceable People's Park in the eyes of Ningbo people. For tourists, it is a must-check-in attraction, but very few people know that it is a national 5A-level attraction and is open to the public for free without charging tickets. Therefore, Yuehu Park is the most low-key park in Ningbo!

Book Collection of Ancient and Modern Times·Tianyi Pavilion

Zhao Heng, Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, once said: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is a Yan Ruyu in the book." This sentence was not only regarded as a classic by ancient literati, but also encouraged many modern students to work hard. Whether it was in the ancient feudal society, which rarely had the flavor of humanism, or in this contemporary era, which advocates the rejuvenation of the country through science, education and culture, reading and persuasion will never be an outdated theme.

I have lived in university study libraries, visited public libraries in many cities, and even visited Jiayetang, located in the ancient town of Nanxun. Its scale and collection of books were so large that it could be called one of the three largest private library buildings in China at that time. However, it was not as shocking as when I stepped into Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo. We know that the ancient Ningbo, which has a history of "building a port" for 7000 years, has always said that "books contain ancient and modern times, and Hong Kong connects to the world." The "book" here actually refers to Tianyi Pavilion. It is the earliest existing private library building in my country, the oldest existing library in Asia, and one of the three largest family libraries in the world.

Tianyi Pavilion is located at No. 10 Tianyi Street, Haishu District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. It is located in the beautiful Yuehu Historical and Cultural Scenic Area. It was built during the Jiajing Period of the Ming Dynasty and covers a total area of about 26,000 square meters. It was built by Fan Qin, the retired right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, for the collection of books. It has a history of more than 450 years.

A cultural essay "Wind and Rain Sky Pavilion" by the famous writer Mr. Yu Qiuyu once made this famous library famous. It is not only a symbol of Ningbo's book collection culture, but also a microcosm of the Siming Literature State. It is also a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Therefore, when many tourists come to Ningbo, they regard going to Tianyi Pavilion as their top priority. There is even a saying that "coming to Ningbo without going to Tianyi Pavilion means not coming to Ningbo."

Tianyi Pavilion is 8.5 meters high and is a two-story brick-and-wood structure with a hard hill-top multi-storey building. The reason why it is called "Tianyi Pavilion" is that the builders took the meaning of "Tianyi generates water" in the Book of Changes, hoping to avoid fire hazards. Even the pool in front of the pavilion is named "Tianyi Pond". The attic, together with the surrounding gardens, presents the characteristics of Jiangnan courtyard-style gardens, with small bridges, flowing water, and crooked eaves. The environment is quiet and the atmosphere is elegant.

It is said that at that time, Fan Qin served as an official in many places across the country and later became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. This also provided a very abundant financial base and space for collecting books. He hid all the nearly 70,000 volumes of books and classics he had collected in his life in Tianyi Pavilion, while the court collection at that time was only more than 100,000 volumes. Later, when Emperor Qianlong revised the "Siku Quan Shu", he contributed more than 600 books. Qianlong praised this,"Fan Maozhu's family in Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang Province has the most books."

Today's Tianyi Pavilion Library has formed a Tianyi Pavilion Museum with Baoshu Tower as the core and integrating a collection cultural area, a garden and leisure area, and an exhibition area. The museum covers an area of about 26,000 square meters. It is a thematic museum with book collection culture as its core and integrating research, protection, education and tourism of book collection. The museum currently houses nearly 300,000 volumes of ancient books of various types, including 80,000 volumes of rare and rare editions, including extremely precious local chronicles of the Ming Dynasty and imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the architecture of Tianyi Pavilion is also quite interesting. It not only has the characteristics of many excellent buildings in Ningbo's Urban area, but also has the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. The decoration of the building also integrates the characteristics and styles of Ningbo's local traditional crafts in the past. It is of great value to the study of Ningbo's history and culture, and this is the main reason why other library buildings later followed suit.

Nanmen Sanshi·Nantanglao Street

Traveling to a city with a long history, humanities and profound cultural heritage, I believe that many people will focus their visits on cultural relics and historic sites, such as temples and nunnery halls, cultural relics exhibition halls, former sites of relics, etc. This naturally also includes the epitome of the city. Ancient streets and alleys. This time when I came to Ningbo, Zhejiang, a seaport city with a history of more than 7000 years, I naturally couldn't help but visit the traditional old street that demonstrated the charm of Yongcheng. So I chose the historical and cultural characteristics that showed the characteristics of Ningbo's Jiangnan water town. Commercial district-Nantang Old Street.

Nantang Old Street is located outside the south gate of the ancient city in Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It is very close to the railway station, just a few minutes 'drive away. The old street is built along the Nantang River and runs north-south and is divided into two streets: the south and the north. It is a Ningbo characteristic historical and cultural district integrating historical monuments, tourism, cultural leisure, Ningbo time-honored brands, Ningbo famous specialties, and folk characteristics. It is not only ranked among the eight major historical districts in Ningbo, but also the "South Gate Three Cities" that were once famous as the gathering place of old Ningbo's commerce and culture.

We know that Nantang River was originally called Yongshui. In Ningbo's history, it was not only an important part of the Yongshang Water Conservancy Project, but also an important channel for grain ships and official ships to enter and exit Ningbo City. Convenient and cheap water transportation has gradually developed this area into a commercial distribution center, forming a prosperous scene with horses and horses like a city and merchants gathering. In order to recreate the prosperity of the three cities of Nanmen in the past, the new Nantang Old Street came into being.

Nantang Old Street has the theme of "Window of Ningbo's Traditional Culture, Characteristics of Nantang River Jiangnan Water Town, and Area of Yuan's Culture". On the basis of maintaining the historical and traditional features of the original Jiangnan ancient buildings, it follows the overall pattern of "one street, one river and one city" and strengthens the "fishbone-shaped" street structure. The street remains are mottled and the buildings are simple. There are stage, octagonal pavilions, wind and rain corridors, Jiangnan characteristic residences, etc., including cultural protection units. For example, the family residence of Yuan Xie, one of the "Four Mr. Chunxi" in the Southern Song Dynasty, and his descendants, Yongshui Bridge, the choke point of ancient Mingzhou leading to southern and western Zhejiang, etc.

These not only reproduce the strong atmosphere of business transactions and daily life of Ningbo people over the past century, but also allow the perfect integration of characteristic traditional culture and modern business models, realizing the so-called "integration of history into life and integration of business into historical sites." Stroll through the old street, step on the stone-paved road, and look at the surrounding shops and leisurely passing pedestrians, as if the former glory of Yongcheng is here again.

Of course, the most must-miss thing when coming to Nantang Old Street is to taste the specialty food here. "Ala Ningbo cuisine, rice dishes are praised!" I believe many people have heard this saying, which means that our Ningbo food tastes very good. In fact, Yongbang cuisine is indeed salty and appetizing, and delicious. Whether it is the salty and tender bamboo shoots in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River or the fresh spirit of fish and shrimp from the depths of the East China Sea, it makes people salivate and is so delicious that they "lose their eyebrows". And those special snacks before and after meals are more complex and colorful, making people dazzling and exciting.

Although Nantang Old Street is a "food" neighborhood, it is very different from many of the vulgar food streets we usually see. The food shops here are selected by the local government in 11 counties and cities of Ningbo through thousands of selections. They are the most traditional, authentic, and the most representative traditional specialty snacks, time-honored restaurants, and new Ningbo cuisine.

This place not only combines the diverse characteristics of Ningbo's humanistic culture and "food" culture, but also contains the familiar flavor in Ningbo people's memory. Ningbo First Pair, Jijiazhai, Ninghai Wufengtang, Dongqian Lake 16 Ge wonton, Cixi bean crispy sugar, Fenghua beef noodles, etc., every shop reveals Yongcheng culture, and every porridge and rice inherits the flavor of Ningbo. Compared with the special attractions full of fireworks in the eyes of foreign tourists, to Ningbo people, this is more like a traditional and simple living market full of memories. Fat and tender cabbage and large yellow croakers, small seafood of mud snails that are never tired of eating for a long time, etc., which are stacked with the ocean memories passed down by Ningbo people, can be tasted at will on the old street. Lard dumplings with quicksand taste, delicate and soft water-ground rice cakes, world-renowned shrimp wontons, etc., and authentic snacks can be seen everywhere.

Day.02

The itinerary for the next day is relatively abundant, so you can arrange the itinerary well. So I arranged today's itinerary at the Qing 'an Guild Hall in the city in the morning and at the Ningbo China Port Museum, which is about an hour and a half away from the city in the afternoon. In this way, I wouldn't miss the scenery that I wanted to check in because I was worried about rushing.

Gongguan Unity·Qing 'an Guild Hall

The famous French sculpture artist Rodin once said: "There is no lack of beauty in the world, but the lack of eyes to discover beauty." Many times we ignore the beautiful scenery around us because we are in a hurry or focus too much on something in front of us. Just like when we visit a museum, we often ignore appreciating the museum itself because we are eager to view the cultural relics in the museum. In fact, many museums not only have beautiful cultural relics in their collections, but even the buildings themselves are exquisite works of art, such as the ancient and elegant Hermitage Museum in Russia, the shocking National Museum of Art in Osaka, Japan, and the fresh and elegant Suzhou Museum in my country. During this trip to Ningbo, I was deeply impressed by a museum with a very "artistic sense". It was the Zhejiang Donghai Folk Museum.

Zhejiang Donghai Folk Museum, also known as the "Yongdong Tianhou Palace", is located on the east bank of Sanjiangkou in Ningbo. It was founded with donations from Beiyang ship merchants in Yongbu and was built in the third year of Xianfeng (1853). It is a palace for worshipping Tianhou Matsu and a gathering place for the shipping industry. It has a more widely known name,"Qing 'an Guild Hall". As one of my country's "seven major halls", Qing 'an Guild Hall covers an area of about 5000 square meters. The overall architectural layout is grand, unique structure and exquisite craftsmanship. It is the largest existing Tianhou Palace in Zhejiang Province. It is also the only ancient architectural complex in the Jiangnan area that combines palaces and halls. It is known as one of my country's "Eight Tianhou Palaces."

Qing 'an Guild Hall is an important cultural relic of the "Maritime Silk Road". It is also an important heritage of the Grand Canal. It is also the first world cultural heritage of Ningbo, a famous historical and cultural city. It can be said to be a landmark building in Ningbo's port city. In today's Ningbo city, which is crowded with traffic and high-rise buildings, the ancient buildings with a history of more than 160 years form a strong visual contrast with the surrounding urban environment and can easily attract the attention of passers-by.

The well-arranged black tiles and white walls, the simple mottled bluestone road surfaces, the simple and solemn palace gate halls, and the resplendent front and rear stages... vividly display the modern wooden structure of eastern Zhejiang and the regional cultural characteristics of Ningbo, especially the ingenious brick carvings, stone carvings and red-gold wood carvings on the buildings are still shining after a century. The more than 1000 red-gold wood carvings can be called a masterpiece of Ningbo's local craftsmanship.

As the first batch of national-level intangible cultural heritage approved by the State Council, Zhu Jin lacquer wood carving is one of the "three golds"(gold and silver colored embroidery, clay gold colored lacquer, and Zhu Jin wood carving) of the Han nationality traditional handicrafts in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It originated from the art of carving lacquer and gold foil pasting flowers in the Han Dynasty, and relied on affixing gold foil and vermilion lacquer for decoration, thus achieving the exquisite, elegant and magnificent effect of architectural wood carving.

As a traditional craft in Ningbo, Zhu and Jin wood carving has been widely passed down since the Han, Tang and Song Dynasties. It has a history of thousands of years. It is not only related to the daily life of Ningbo's people, but also widely exists in local houses, temples, furniture and other decorations. It even spread to Japan as early as the Tang Dynasty, becoming a historical witness of Sino-Japanese friendship.

In addition to exquisite ancient buildings with great historical and artistic value, Qing 'an Guild Hall also contains Ningbo's profound and distinctive regional culture. It is a physical example of studying Mazu culture and the history of ancient maritime transportation and trade in my country. We know that Ningbo, relying on its unique regional advantages and developed marine economy, has always been an important port city for foreign transportation, trade and cultural exchanges in Chinese history, and is the eastern port of departure for the "Maritime Silk Road". At the same time, it also gave birth to maritime folk culture represented by Mazu culture.

As the saying goes,"There are Chinese wherever there is sea water, and there are Mazu everywhere." China's Mazu culture has a long history and has a deep influence. Commercial ships will come to worship before going to sea for peace. Through a series of special exhibitions in the museum, the Qing 'an Guild Hall vividly displays the Mazu belief, maritime customs, trade activities of the Guild Hall and its architectural and artistic characteristics in eastern Zhejiang to the world, helping us understand Ningbo and our country's folk culture and marine culture play a very important role.

National Brand·Port Museum

It is the first stop in the east of the "Maritime Silk Road". It is an ancient port with a history of more than 7000 years and is known as the "Five Best Ports in the World". The splendid Hemudu culture was born here. It not only has China's earliest old Bund, which is 20 years older than the Shanghai Bund, but also has Tianyi Pavilion, the oldest library in Chinese history. As one of the five first treaty ports opened in China, its name is world-renowned. It is Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, which was named after "Haidingze Bonin" by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

We know that Ningbo is a famous typical seaport city located on the southeast coast of my country. Together with Yangzhou and Guangzhou, it is also known as China's three major foreign trade ports, and is also the fourth largest port city in the world. Speaking of Ningbo's history, it seems that it is always closely related to the ancient and profound marine culture. The famous Hemudu culture reveals that the ancestors of this land began maritime activities more than 7000 years ago; a large number of East Asian navigators created by Mingzhou during the Tang and Song Dynasties created many miracles. Even on the map of Europeans, Ningbo came first, then Zhejiang; Even the powerful rise of the "Ningbo Gang" with strong commercial circles, the opening of treaty ports, the birth of Zhoushan Port, etc., all of these showed us step by step the rich development of Ningbo, where "Hong Kong connects the world". dazzling and brilliant.

People often say that museums are the best place to learn about the past and present lives of a city. Therefore, if I want to witness the supreme prosperity of Ningbo, a famous historical and cultural city, it is necessary to understand the development history of its thousand-year port. Therefore, during this trip to Ningbo, I came to the China Port Museum in Binhai New City, Beilun District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province without hesitation. It is also the largest and highest-level "state-owned" port museum officially named by the State Council in my country, namely Ningbo China Port Museum.

China Port Museum, referred to as "Gangbo", is located in Yangsha Mountain Scenic Area, Chunxiao Binhai New City, Beilun District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It was built in 2014 by the People's Government of Beilun District of Ningbo City with a huge investment of 680 million yuan. The museum covers an area of about 78 acres and a building area of more than 40000 square meters. It is a museum that integrates display, education, collection, scientific research, tourism, international exchanges and other functions, inheriting and excavating the port's history and culture. A landmark cultural facility to spread marine civilization. It is the cultural fulcrum of the Maritime Silk Road in the new century. It is also a cultural base for us to understand the development history of Ningbo port and be familiar with the development process of China's port. It has great educational significance and has been selected into the "Fourth Batch of National First-Level Museums List".

It may be the sublimation of the ocean theme of the China Port Museum, and its unique design makes it look like two large conch lying on the beach from afar, making it particularly cordial. When you walk into the museum, you will find that it is not different from our common traditional museum model that mainly collects "historical relics", but more of a taste of entering a city science and technology museum.

The Hong Kong Expo mainly consists of six exhibition modules, including the China Port History Museum, the Modern Port Knowledge Museum, the "Underwater Archaeology in China" Special Exhibition, the Port Science Exploration Museum, the "Digital Ocean" Experience Hall, and the Beilun Historical Sites Exhibition, as well as a lecture hall, Reading rooms, cafes and other public service facilities.

As an important base for exploring port history, inheriting port culture, and spreading marine civilization, inside the China Port Museum, you can not only see the development and changes of my country's ports from the four historical stages of ancient times, ancient times, modern times, and modern times, among which, through the image of some The knowledge of rare relics, important figures or typical events can allow us to understand the port development history of our country and even the world in a more detailed and clear manner.

We can also look forward to the future development of port science and technology and the in-depth exploration of marine knowledge through innovation in contemporary existing port technology. In addition, in the exhibition hall, visitors can often see temporary exhibitions from different regions and different topics. If you are interested in Ningbo's history, the Hong Kong Expo is definitely the place you should not miss.

Day.03

The itinerary for the third day requires relatively good time control. There is a high-speed train back in the afternoon, so there is only one place for the morning-Zhaobaoshan. The reason for the last day's schedule for climbing the mountain is also very simple. Even if you are tired, you can have a good rest and adjustment when you get home.

Gateway to East Zhejiang·Zhaobaoshan

It is one of the top ten scenic spots in Ningbo City. It integrates natural scenery, cultural landscapes, and religious culture. It not only has beautiful scenery, rich historical sites, but also has an extremely superior geographical location. It has always been a battleground for military strategists and an important coastal defense fortress in our country's history. It is Zhaobaoshan, a famous scenic resort in Ningbo City.

Zhaobaoshan, as the name suggests, means "soliciting wealth and treasures". Because it swallowed the Yongjiang River in the south, faced the East China Sea in the north, connected the ancient sea pond in the west, and supported the sea in the west. In ancient times, it was an important road for merchant ships to enter and exit. It was the anchor port of the Maritime Silk Road. It is called "where commercial ships pass through and hundreds of pillars intersect", so it got its name. It is located in Haikou of Yongjiang River in Zhenhai District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It is about 1.5 kilometers away from Zhenhai Haicheng District and only a dozen kilometers away from the center of Ningbo City. It can be said that it has a very advantageous geographical location. Because it is "the throat of Guliuyi and the key to all Zhejiang," it is also known as the "Gateway to East Zhejiang."

Zhaobaoshan Mountain is mountainous and dangerous, with beautiful sea views, and magnificent and unique natural scenery. Such as the famous "Ao Pillar Piercing the Sky","Thousands of Sails Breaking the Waves","Dragon Cave Rising from the Clouds","Fantai Autumn Moon", etc., are all rare and beautiful landscapes. In addition to the natural landscape with sea and sky scenery, Zhaobao Mountain also has a long-standing Buddhist and Taoist culture. It is known as "Guanyin Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea, and the Oriental God of Wealth Zhaobao Mountain".

Baotuo Zen Temple, built on the top of the mountain during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, is said to have been moved from Mount Putuo. The solemn Tianhou Palace and Immortal Cave are also home to the most popular incense and believers. Of course, when visiting Zhaobaoshan, which has thousands of years of cultural heritage, the most worth seeing is its profound coastal defense culture.

We know that Ningbo is located in the sea. For thousands of years, in order to resist foreign aggression and harassment, countless national heroes and patriots have constantly interpreted the theme of protecting the country on this land. As an important coastal defense fortress in Chinese history, Zhaobaoshan was once one of the main battlefields against Japanese, British, French and Japanese on the southeastern coast of my country. It was an important part of Zhenhaikou Coastal Defense Site, and therefore left behind a rich coastal defense historical site. ruins.

Weiyuan City, built to prevent Japanese pirates, was first built in the 39th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. It not only had obvious effects in the anti-Japanese process, but also played a huge role in the subsequent Sino-British, Sino-French, and the Anti-Japanese War.

There are 9 inscriptions in the city, including 4 in the Ming Dynasty and 5 in the Qing Dynasty. They are basically the handwriting of military and political officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and have important research value. Yuecheng, located at the junction of the two peaks on the north side of Zhaobaoshan Peak, is about 60 meters long, 3.8 meters high and 3.4 meters deep. It is made of staggered rocks and is a relatively well-preserved relic of the Sino-French War.

It is said that the Anyuan Fort at the southern foot of Zhaobaoshan was mixed with glutinous rice porridge during the ramming process at that time, which meant softness and rigidity, and was extremely strong. In addition, there is the Monument to the Battle of Haikou in the Sino-French War Town, the Memorial Hall for the Coastal Defense Historical Sites in Haikou, etc., which are historical witnesses of the Chinese people's fearlessness of violence and resistance to foreign aggression.

End thoughts are like "Yong" spring

I know that a three-day trip to Ningbo is not enough. As a port with a history of more than 7000 years, Ningbo has rich cultural landscapes; Ningbo, which is world-famous as the eastern port of departure of the "Maritime Silk Road", is also a typical Jiangnan water town with countless natural landscapes in its territory. So in just three days, I only learned a little about Ningbo, and it was just a little understanding that made me fall in love with this city. I just left. I miss her like a spring. I believe that in the near future, I will come to this half of the city again and tell my missing for her face to face!
