I am from Ningbo, and my wife is half Ningbo (my mother-in-law is from Ningbo), but I have never been to my place of origin. I had booked tickets and hotels for the Spring Festival this year, but I couldn't travel for some reason. My wife is usually very homely and doesn't leave the door until she leaves the door. She suddenly said that she has been tired from work recently and should go out for a short trip for a few days, which makes me inexplicably excited. I think of the Ningbo tour that was cancelled for some reason during the Spring Festival. This is it. Let's go on a trip that we want. Xingxi took a leave from work, went to Ctrip, bought train tickets, booked a hotel, and set off without stopping.

Baidu remedial classes:

Ningbo, a national historical and cultural city, is located on the southeast coast and in the middle of the coastline of the mainland of China. It is the southern end of the Grand Canal of China and the eastern departure port of the "Maritime Silk Road".

Ningbo is abbreviated as "Yong", which was called as early as the Zhou Dynasty. The word "Yong" is a pictographic character for an ancient bell. In the counties of Yin and Feng counties, the peaks of the mountains are very similar to ancient bells, so they are called Yongshan. This river is called Yongjiang River. This area is called "Yong" land. [1]

As early as 7,000 years ago, Ningbo's ancestors thrived here and created the splendid Hemudu culture. During the Xia Dynasty more than 2000 BC, Ningbo was named "Yin". During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the territory of Yue. During the Qin Dynasty, it belonged to Kuaiji Prefecture, and during the Tang Dynasty, it was called Mingzhou.


The three-day itinerary is as follows:

Day 1: Tianyi Pavilion-Yuehu Park-Drum Tower

Day 2: Yaoxing Street Catholic Church-City God Temple-Tianfeng Tower-Cicheng Ancient Town-Nantang Old Street-Old Bund

Day 3: Ningbo Museum-Nantang Old Street


Ningbo, here I come!The high-speed train arrived in Ningbo on time at 12:53. This is the exterior view of Ningbo Railway Station.

Street View-The breeze blows over the moon and the lake, and the fragrance of books flies for thousands of years

accommodation

This time in Ningbo, I chose the Overseas Chinese Wyndham Grand Plaza Hotel. It is at the junction of Changchun Road and Liuting Road, just a 10-minute walk from the North Square of the Railway Station. Facts have proved that the choice is very correct. The hotel is only a 10-minute walk from Tianyi Pavilion and Yuehu, and less than 2 kilometers from Nantang Old Street and Tianyi Square. The location is very convenient. It is an old five-star hotel, and the facilities in the administrative building of Building A are relatively new. Free drinks in the room and an executive lounge for 2 hours are provided. The service throughout the process was very good, and all the hotel staff were very enthusiastic: hot towels and tea were served at the front desk when checking in; as soon as we got out of the elevator, a housekeeper brought them to the room and served special tea; the housekeeper also delivered hot milk before going to bed. This is the first time we have encountered this kind of personal housekeeper service. We were not used to it at first, but we also felt the considerate service of the hotel.

The hotel breakfast is very rich, with both Chinese and Western, especially the Ningbo specialty glutinous rice balls and rice cakes are great! Only downside: The deposit at check-in was a bit embarrassing.

traffic

Due to the hotel's good location, several nearby attractions are within walking distance, and it is also convenient to share bicycles. Didi Taxi and Yangzhao Taxi are very convenient in places a little further away. The taxi price starts at 11y for 3 kilometers and 2.4y per kilometer. Generally, from 10 to 20, 40% will be added for more than 10 kilometers. There are cameras on the taxis here. The driver said that one is to ensure safety, and the other is that passengers can quickly find forgotten items.


Daily account of scenic spots

1. Tianyi Pavilion Museum-The fragrance of books has been floating for thousands of years

Put down your luggage and go straight to Tianyi Pavilion, the only 5A-level scenic spot in the city. "Tianyi Pavilion is Ningbo's book and Ningbo's soul. It is really an extremely elegant thing for a city to have a library as its soul."

Tianyi Pavilion was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and was presided over by Fan Qin, the right assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, who retired at that time. It covers an area of 26,000 square meters and has a history of more than 400 years. It is a representative work of Chinese book collection culture. Tianyi Pavilion is the earliest existing private library building in China, the oldest existing library in Asia and one of the three earliest family libraries in the world. The name Tianyi Pavilion is derived from the theory that Zhongtian generates water in Notes to the Book of Changes by Zheng Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Because fire is the biggest disaster in the library, and "Tianyi generates water" can use water to overcome fire, so it is named "Tianyi Pavilion."
Huang Zongxi commented on Tianyi Pavilion,"It is difficult to read, it is difficult to collect books, and it is even more difficult to collect books for a long time."

Tianyi Pavilion consists of three functional areas: book collection and cultural area, garden and leisure area, and exhibition area. The garden leisure and exhibition areas include Zunjing Pavilion, Mingzhou Stele Forest, Qianjinzhai, Dongyuan, Nanyuan, Baieting, Ninghui Hall, Qin's Branch Temple, Tianyi Pavilion Painting and Calligraphy Museum, Shuibei Pavilion, Palazzo Hall and Mahjong Origin Place Exhibition Hall, etc. It takes 2 hours to visit the park and has a main browsing route.

West Gate of the Scenic Area (Note: There is a scan code on the right side outside the gate to retrieve tourist maps, please!)

On both sides of the gate are a pair of Qing Dynasty stone lions, and the four characters "Nanguo Book City" are engraved on the gate plaque

Guide map in the park


The existing books now contain nearly 300,000 volumes of ancient books of various types, including 80,000 volumes of rare and rare editions, especially the Ming Dynasty local chronicles and imperial examinations records that are the most precious.

I only recognized 2 of these five words, sweat!

Tianyi Zunting


Take a nap in Qianjinzhai

Zunjing Pavilion: Zunjing Pavilion was originally rebuilt in the Guangxu Year of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in Ningbo Prefectural School. In 1935, it raised funds for local people in Ningbo and was moved to Tianyi Pavilion. It still maintains the original structural structure of Xieyuan Mountain Top with double eaves, and the triple eaves are very imposing.

Hundred Goose Pavilion: It is a relic of the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a sacrifice pavilion in front of the tomb. During the Qingming Festival in ancient times, the great families had to kill many geese to sacrifice to heaven, the land, and the ancestral sect, so it is called Hundred Goose Pavilion. This pavilion is exquisite in structure and elegant and luxurious. The square forehead and other places are engraved with patterns such as "Fish Jumping Over the Dragon Gate","Double Lions Playing with a Ball","Seahorse Jumping Over the Waves", and "Kirin Calling Treasures".

Qin's branch temple: It's magnificent, but I heard the tour guide next door say: The dazzling gold color has nothing to do with gold. It is ground into golden powder by shells on the sea floor and then applied on.


The garden view is dominated by water, and the pool is dotted with exquisite and unique rockery and fake stones, setting off the entire scenery to be particularly simple and elegant.

The eaves show Jiangnan characteristics

The most interesting thing in Tianyi Pavilion is the "Exhibition Hall of the Origin of Mahjong". In the exhibition hall, I saw all kinds of Mahjong tiles. I didn't expect that the quintessence of Mahjong originated in Ningbo.

The picture below is a live mahjong with toes raised. The ancestor sitting in the middle is scolding the Oriental people whether they can play cards, while the bearded Westerners are holding cigars in their hands and act as if it doesn't concern them.


This is the golden sentence of our ancestors hanging in the Mahjong Exhibition Hall: Confucius on the left, and Liang Qichao on the right.

This road is kind of grand

Tips: No. 10, Xitian 1st Street, Yuehu, Urban District, Ningbo City, opening hours are 8:30-17:30 (closed on Monday morning), tickets are 30 yuan (Ctrip 27, scan QR code to enter the park), the west gate is the main entrance, and there is a free hand-drawn map for scanning QR codes on the self-service machine on the right side (we only discovered it after we came out, sweat!)


2. Yuehu Park-the breeze blows the Yuehu


Exit the west gate of Tianyi Pavilion, turn left directly, enter Maya Street, and you will arrive at Yuehu in 5 minutes. In fact, Tianyi Pavilion + Yuehu form a complete 5A-level scenic spot.

Moon Lake has beautiful scenery and a large number of historical buildings and cultural relics. Its history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. The lake surface is crescent shaped. As the saying goes,"the wide part looks like a full moon, and the narrow part looks like a brow moon." Therefore, people call it "Moon Lake". The weather was beautiful on the day we went, with blue skies and white clouds, and the weather was sunny. Under the illumination of the sun, the lake is as smooth and clear as a mirror, and it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. The Moon Lake is not large in area. It takes only more than an hour to walk around the pavilions and pavilions in the park. It is strongly recommended that people who are coming to Ningbo for the first time come here to take a look.

There are also some historical buildings scattered around the Moon Lake.

This is the Jiang residence. It was verified that the house was once the house of Chiang Kai-shek's brother Jiang Jieqing.

This gossip on the wall is interesting


This is a Buddhist residence. It was built during the period of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1284). It is a well-known place for religious activities.

Jushilin Paifang

This is the entrance of Baokui Lane. In the fifth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, a county wine service was set up here. Officials operated wine making and selling wine and collected wine taxes. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Baokui Lane has been the residence of officials and wealthy businessmen. It is a relatively well-preserved, large and relatively concentrated Ming and Qing architectural complex in Ningbo to date. Walking through this street, you will find the white walls and black tiles, blue brick alleys, and cornices, as if they are still telling the story of the past.

The frontage of Baokui Lane is the former site of the Korean Embassy. Ningbo was called Mingzhou in ancient times. The Korean Embassy was the residence where Mingzhou received Korean envoys during the Northern Song Dynasty. It was a historical witness of Ningbo Port's foreign exchanges and the friendly exchanges between China and Korea in the past.

This is a national-level cultural relic-Shuizebei. In ancient times, it was used to measure water levels and prevent floods. It was built during the Song Dynasty (1253 - 1258) and continued in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the only example of ancient urban water conservancy relics in my country.

Tip: Yuehu Park is free. Cruise ship: Pedal boat for 50/4 people, electric boat for 80/4 people, 120/6 people, 100 people, both for half an hour.


3. Drum Tower-the only family that combines Chinese and Western cultures

Not far west from the northern end of the lunar month is the Gulou Historical and Cultural District. The Drum Tower is at the southernmost tip of the pedestrian street. When we enter from the north end, we still can't see the true appearance of the Drum Tower for the time being.

This is the northernmost archway of the street: Gulou Yan

This is the cross-street bridge in the middle of the pedestrian street-Yingyang Bridge. It reads: The Charm of Siming

Only the "Legend of the Drum Tower" can be vaguely seen on this wall, but the seven figure paintings cannot be clearly seen

Follow the crowd to the Drum Tower.

Ningbo Drum Tower was built in the first year of Changqing of the Tang Dynasty (821) and has a history of more than 1100 years. It is a symbol of the official establishment of a state and a city in Ningbo's history. Ningbo Drum Tower is the only remaining ancient city building site in Ningbo City. It is one of the ancient buildings under key national cultural relics protection. Today's main body of the Drum Tower was rebuilt during the Xianfeng Period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1930, a lookout tower and this Roman-style bell tower were built on the basis of the traditional tower towers of the Qing Dynasty. The style of combining Chinese and Western is unique.
The plaque on the north side of the Drum Tower reads "Sound Hearing the Beginning Sky"

Follow the corridor and exit the Drum Tower. This is Zhongshan West Road. Looking back, the plaque on the south gate is "Siming Great Temple".

The Drum Tower is an authentic masterpiece, well preserved and has a historical charm; at night, this area is very popular, but the entire block is an antique pedestrian street with many snack bars. Like many antique streets across the country, there are many people selling snacks, calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts, and gadgets. Then there are many restaurants, including Malatang, stinky tofu, Taimang, Hong Kong-style restaurants, Starbucks, McDonald's, and all kinds of milk tea drinks. The place is not too big, so one hour is enough for walking around.


The next day's scenic spot account

1. Attractions in the city

Yaoxing Street Catholic Church,The hotel leaves early in the morning, and the shared bicycle takes a few minutes east along Liuting Street.

In 1702, Gollet, a French missionary in the Qing Dynasty (41st year of the Kangxi Dynasty), came to Ningbo to buy a piece of land on Xianyao Street in the city to build a sacred temple. After many vicissitudes, the current church was completed in June 2000. Combining Romanesque and Gothic shapes, the church is 51 meters long from north to south, 22 meters wide from east to west, the lobby ridge is 31 meters high, and the bell tower is 66 meters high. The top is crowned with a stainless steel cross 6 meters high and 4 meters wide. The scale of the church is grand. The height of the hall ridge and the height of the bell tower are the highest among existing churches in the country.

The church is right next to the busiest road in the city center. It is a bit dangerous to take a frontal photo, which requires shuttling through traffic.

Tip: Tianyi Square is right behind the church.

Across the road from the church is the City God Temple Street.

The City God Temple is located at No. 22, Xianxue Street, Haishu District. It is an important Taoist temple in Ningbo. It was built in the second year of Liang Zhenming (916) of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It has a history of nearly a thousand years. Unfortunately, it is now undergoing major repairs and I can't see my true face, so I can only leave unhappily.


Tianfeng Tower--The tallest ancient building in Ningbo City
Standing on the pedestrian street of Chenghuang Temple, you can see Tianfeng Tower (see picture above). Tianfeng Tower is the tallest ancient building in Ningbo City and a landmark building in the ancient city of Ningbo. Climbing the tower, you can overlook Ningbo City and Chenghuang Temple Street Area. According to reports, it was an important water navigation mark in ancient Mingzhou Port. Some reports also said that it was the Viva Tower built to commemorate Wu Zetian's accession to the throne. The tower is now a renovated tower. The brick-and-wood structure tower has a Tang Dynasty style with six-sided multi-layer cornices and peaks, with a total of 14 floors. National key cultural relics.

We went too early and had to check in at the door and leave.


Tips: Tianfeng Tower is located at the intersection of the west end of Dashani Street and Jiefang South Road in Haishu District, Ningbo City, No. 258 Dashani Street, close to the Chenghuangmiao Pedestrian Street business district. Entrance ticket: 5y, opening hours: 8:30-16:30


2. The ancient county seat of Cicheng-the first ancient county seat in Jiangnan

The ancient county seat of Cicheng is today's focus. Take a taxi all the way north, about 19 kilometers away.

Cicheng is a famous historical and cultural town in China and the hometown of Cixiao culture in China. Historical Records: "In the third year of King Yuan of Zhou (473 BC), King Gou Jian of Yue City City-Gouyu", which was the earliest ancient name of Cicheng and was later renamed "Gouzhang". Cixi County was established in the 26th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, and it was named Cicheng because the county was built. After more than 2400 years of history, Cicheng has an extremely profound cultural heritage and is a fertile ground for outstanding people. From the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been 519 Jinshi scholars in this area. In modern times, Zhou Xinfang, Qin Runqin, Ying Changqi, Tan Jiazhen, Feng Jicai and other famous celebrities have emerged.
。Therefore, there are many cultural relics and historic sites and rich historical relics. In 2006, the "Cicheng Ancient Building Complex" was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Tips: No tickets are required for the ancient town of Cicheng. For a joint ticket for the scenic spots (the county government, Confucian Temple, School Hall, and Painted Gate), 75 for on-site purchase and 60 for Ctrip (swipe the QR code to enter). We mainly went to the county government, Confucian temple, and school officials 'hall, which took us half a day.

Confucius Temple--The No. 1 Academy in Jiangnan

The Confucian Temple is a temple dedicated to Confucius, our country's great thinker, politician and educator. The Confucius Temple in Cicheng is located in the center of the city. It was built in the first year of Yongxi in the Northern Song Dynasty (984), 318 years earlier than the history of the Confucius Temple in Beijing today. Due to repeated ups and downs in the past dynasties, the existing Confucian Temple was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It covers an area of about 7000 square meters and has a total of 137 temples, pavilions and other houses. The architectural layout is complete and the momentum is grand. From south to north on the central axis are Lingxingmen, Panchi, Dacheng Hall, Minglun Hall, and Tiyun Pavilion; temples and pavilions are also built symmetrically on the left and right axes on both sides, reflecting the Confucian aesthetic standard of "neutrality for beauty". Cicheng Confucian Temple is currently the only school palace with the most complete preservation in eastern Zhejiang. In 2006, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

The taxi took us directly here. Along this path, there is the Confucian Temple in front of us (No. 55 Zhuxiang East Road)

Schematic diagram of Confucius Temple

On the south wall, there are four words written on the letter "The palace walls are thousands of feet high", which means that Confucius has profound knowledge.


Dismount Monument-A civil and military official, military and civilians, and others dismounted here

Suddenly I heard the sound of reading from the building on the left side of the path."If young people are strong, China will be strong..." The sound of reading by the Confucian Temple is awe-inspiring (the left side should be a school)

Dacheng Hall: Dacheng Hall is the main building of the Confucian Temple

A bluestone carving is laid in the center of the front steps of Dacheng Hall, with a pattern of carp leaping over the dragon gate.

The "East Wing" and "West Wing" are memorial tablets dedicated to later sages and scholars. Most of them are famous figures in the Confucian school, such as Dong Zhongshu, Han Yu, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tianxiang, etc.

Minglun Hall: A place where students attend classes. "Everyone, be quiet, the teacher is about to start class!"

The mottled red wall tells the past silently.


Ancient County Government

Exit the Confucian Temple, follow Jiefang Road north, and walk six to seven minutes to the ancient county government.

The ancient county government of Cixi was founded in the 26th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty (738 AD) and has continued to this day. It has been destroyed and built repeatedly. The existing county government was rebuilt according to the detailed drawings in the Cixi County Chronicles during the Guangxu period, maintaining the pattern of the county government of the Qing Dynasty.

The brick road ruins of the Tang Dynasty county government in front of Ertang were also the biggest accidental discovery during the reconstruction of the county government. After textual research, this is the official road in front of the lobby of the county government built by Fangguan in the Tang Dynasty, and has a history of 1,300 years.

Greedy Beast-There are countless gold and silver treasures under its feet, but it still has a bloody mouth open, and it still has to chase the sun wholeheartedly, wanting to swallow the sun into its stomach. So much that he finally fell into the cliff and was smashed to pieces.


There are big corrupt officials and traitors who are cursed by tens of thousands of people. Since they like money so much, let them live in prisons that look like copper coins.

The famous corrupt officials Yan Song and He Shen are locked in the wooden fence room.

When the ancient county government came out, he felt that he had deeply attended an educational class with the theme of "Remembering the original intention and keeping the mission in mind". It was a worthwhile trip.


Xiaoshiguan

The ancient county government goes east and walks for about ten minutes to reach the Cicheng School Hall.

Cicheng Schoolshiguan was built in 1835 in the 15th year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty. It was a place where the Qing Dynasty imperial examinations selected talents and conducted "children's examinations". The local people also called it the "examination shed". The "Children's Examination" is held once a year. The "Children's Examination" goes through three stages of examinations: county, prefecture and hospital. Those who pass are called "students", commonly known as "scholars". It is the place where talents are selected at the lowest level of the feudal imperial examination system. The current Cicheng School Hall was rebuilt on the original site in 2003 according to the "School Hall" map contained in the "Guangxu Cixi County Annals".

After passing the gate, there is the "ceremonial gate" with the inscription "Selection of Scholars from the Ming Dynasty". This is the place where examiners welcome higher-level officials, and next to it is the place where candidates 'names are announced.

East-West Wenchang-a place for candidates to take exams
There are four words in the book: "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow"."Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang" is the first sentence of "Thousand Character Text", which means: the color of the sky is black and the color of the earth is yellow, which means that "the heaven is high and the earth is deep."

In the examination rooms on both sides, each person has a table. The candidates are kneeling on their desks to answer. The invigilators are solemn and majestic. The candidates have different postures. Some are scratching their ears, some are stunned, and some are drooping their heads at a loss.... Being in it, it's like traveling through time and space.

"Lobby" has the words "Hengjiantang" written on it. "Hengjiantang" is a place where examiners review test papers, interview candidates and receive superior officials.

After the "lobby", there is the "Second Hall", which writes "Seeking talents for the country." This is the department for examiners, invigilators, and transfer officials. During the examination, in order to prevent leaks and fraud, the examiner cut off contact with the outside world.

In the 26th year of Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty (738 AD), Fang Guan was appointed as the county magistrate. After taking office, Fang Guan moved the county to the south of Fubi Mountain in Cicheng. He modeled on the ancient capital Chang 'an Street, one river and two chessboards, and rebuilt the county administration with the layout of public buildings left and right. He also ordered the excavation of Cihu Lake to irrigate farmland.

3. Ningbo Old Bund

Ningbo's Old Bund is located at the intersection of Fenghua River, Yongjiang River and Yuyao River in urban Ningbo. It was once the earliest port area to open to the outside world among the "Five Ports Trade" after the Opium War, 20 years before the Shanghai Bund's Huangpu River was opened. It is known as the earliest Bund in Chinese history. The old Bund is built along the Yongjiang River. Foreign consulates, Catholic churches, banks, and ship terminals are lined up along the river, recording almost the entire history of Ningbo's opening as a port.

At night, stroll along the old Bund, which is the night view of the Yongjiang Bridge in the south.

The third day's scenic spot account

Ningbo Museum

Although I don't understand the treasures of museums, I still have a special liking for museums. Every time I go to a place, if I have time, I will definitely visit the local museum. I especially heard that the architectural styles of Ningbo Museum are very different.

The Ningbo Museum was open to the public for free on December 5, 2008. The exhibits include more than 60,000 precious bronze ware, porcelain, bamboo carvings, jade ware, calligraphy and painting, gold and silver ware, folk customs and other cultural relics from the prehistoric Hemudu culture to modern times. Its building is the masterpiece of Wang Shu's "New Vernacalism" style, the first Chinese winner of the Pritzker Architecture Award. It is one of the key cultural projects of Ningbo City during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. It covers an area of 60 acres and has a total construction area of 30,000 square meters.

Tips: Ningbo Museum is located at No. 1000 Shounan Middle Road, Yinzhou District (near Yinzhou Park), at the southern end of the city. It is not very far from the city, about seven or eight kilometers. It takes more than ten minutes to take a taxi (more than 20 y fare). Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 (Closed on Mondays
) 。Free + free ticket, you can enter through the security gate.

The building of the Ningbo Museum itself is an exhibition. The creative and unique exterior wall design, coupled with blue sky and white clouds, has become the background for too many people to take photos.

Entering the museum, you see endless stairs


The elevator goes up to the third floor and is planned to go from top to bottom, so you won't miss a single one.

Excellent celadon from Yue Kiln: Yue Kiln was the most famous celadon kiln system in ancient China. Yue kiln celadon originated during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Archaeological investigations have proved that its main origin was in the Ningshao area of Zhejiang Province. (That is, Shanglin Lake in Cixi County, Mingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, was assigned to Yuezhou during the Five Dynasties, and also known as Yuezhou in the Tang Dynasty) is the main birthplace of celadon in China. The surface of the porcelain is delicate and smooth, moist like jade, and is translucent, which is very aesthetic.

Eat in Ningbo

Breakfast is served at the hotel, and we must always find some local specialties to taste for lunch and dinner. The unit leader had just been to Ningbo during the Spring Festival and recommended 2 restaurants.

Dinner on the first day

Ninghai Restaurant-Internet celebrity Seafood Hotel, No. 96 Wangjing Road (600 meters north of Tianyi Pavilion). Tip: You can make reservations online in advance.

We finished rowing in Yuehu Park and rushed there directly. Tonight's dinner is settled here.

Two people ordered green pickles and large yellow croaker soup, crab paste (I can't remember), sea melon seeds fried with green onions, and a snack and a vegetarian dish. This store is worthy of being a must-make Internet celebrity store. It's so rare that my eyebrows are about to fall down, hehe! It's just that the price is small, so the bill is 520.

Chinese and dinner on the second and third day:The next day, due to the major maintenance of Cicheng Ancient Town, after searching for a long time, he could not find the famous Zouma Tower. In a fit of anger, he returned to the city and came to Nantang Old Street. The lunch before leaving Ningbo on the third day was also settled here and summarized together.

The next day on Nantang Old Street,

Ningbo Nantang Old Street is located outside the south gate of the ancient city of Ningbo (Yinfeng Road Yinjiang 'an Road Crossing, 600 meters away from the railway station) and adjacent to the Nantang River in the north. It was once the "three cities of the south gate" where old Ningbo commerce and culture gathered, ranking among Ningbo's eight major historical districts. On January 15, 2012, Nantang Old Street opened grandly. After a century, the old street was reborn and became an experiential themed commercial district integrating historical monuments, tourism, cultural leisure, and folk customs.

During this trip to Ningbo, I feel that all the authentic Ningbo food is here. Nantang Old Street is really good!

Arriving at Nantang Old Street at 2:40 the next day, we missed another popular online hotel-Tiegebi's restaurant, and happened to see Ningbo's famous snack "Tank Duck Dog".

Tank Duck Dog is a famous century-old store in Ningbo, famous for its snacks. The gowns there are full, the sesame filling is sweet but not greasy, and the entrance is smooth, especially the layer of osmanthus sprinkled on the surface. It is fragrant and fragrant. It is mixed with the aroma of glutinous rice, stimulates people's senses and will definitely make your appetite big. Open.

A bowl of yellow croaker noodles: one yellow croaker, four prawns, six clams, 68y. My way!

Nantang Youzanzi, a famous spot in Ningbo, should be Mahua. Unfortunately, there were too many people in the queue. We went back and forth twice, but the number of people grew and we had to give up.

Eating stopped and stopped, making it impossible to eat dinner.

the third dayThere is a train in the afternoon. After visiting the Ningbo Museum in the morning, I take a taxi straight to Nantang Old Street."Tiegebi", here I come!

We ordered steamed large yellow croaker, fried clams with green onions, and lotus pond moonlight (lotus root + green beans + black fungus). After feasting, I remembered that I had forgotten to take pictures. Sweat! But our plates are a little too clean.

Finally, at the easternmost end of the old street, I made some "desserts" and ended the delicious journey of Nantang Old Street.

concluding remarks

I like Ningbo, I like Ningbo's history, I also like Ningbo's present, and I look forward to Ningbo's future. Will come again next time!
