[Words written in front]

As you grow older and have rich experience, you become more and more aware that every trip, especially city tours, is a process of recognizing and feeling other people's living conditions. Differences in regions and living habits make it impossible for you to simply and subjectively express your opinions. Objective description, pure recording, and a mindful feeling without any judgment are the original intention of a traveler, or a bystander, to write travel notes.

Choosing Ningbo was not a pre-planned arrangement. It was purely an accident that the air ticket was so cheap that it was outrageous that it would be forbidden not to make a trip. Therefore, the air ticket and hotel were booked and the check-in strategy was completed. After a busy period, the three-day and two-night trip to Ningbo began.

[Trip]

DAY1 Beijing-Ningbo, Xiangshan, overnight stay in Ningbo

DAY2 Ningbo-Zhoushan, stay overnight in Ningbo

DAY3 return to Beijing

It's a very simple itinerary. The key to connecting these places is that you need to rent a car so that you can travel in Ningbo and its surrounding areas without stress.

[OK]--Ningbo Chapter

My husband and I have been to Ningbo and Putuo Mountain in the form of unit group tours before. Although the unit group tour is basically equivalent to not swimming, due to limited time, we still decisively gave up Putuo Mountain and avoided Ningbo's prosperous city center., focusing our tourism on small coastal towns such as Xiangshan and Zhoushan, and deeply experiencing the living conditions of fishing ports and docks.

The first stop after arriving in Ningbo was to go to Nantang Street to find food for brunch. This is an antique street that is criticized as a must-check in for foreigners. On a rainy morning, we were walking on the stone road of the ancient street. Tourists in twos and threes, small bridges and flowing water, wooden shop doors and panes, and Ningbo specialty food shops one after another, instantly switching to the gentle and delicate Southern Channel.

The huge crystal oil bag is full and smooth, but I don't know what it tastes like.

[Line]--Xiangshan Chapter

It takes about two hours by car from Nantang Street to Shipu, Xiangshan. Shipu Ancient City is the most worthwhile place to visit in Xiangshan. The ancient city is located next to the port and you can experience both the scenery of the port terminal and the ancient city at the same time.

During the fishing ban period, idle fishing boats are neatly anchored in the specified locations in the port. Making full use of the idle fishing boats to attract tourists to circle the island at sea is the default entertainment event in the local area. To say it's going out to sea, it's actually a 35-minute walk around the island in the harbor area. Of course, you can also spend money to customize the route. Coincidentally, we ran into a young couple who had the same needs as us. Four people for us is equivalent to a half off the fee, which is definitely worth the money.

Fishing boats anchored in the port are idle!

The scenery along the way around the island. 35 minutes is the limit for a seasick person like me.

Opposite the Fishing Boat Wharf is the historic ancient city of Shipu. Although the ancient city is concentrated with tourists, it exudes a strong atmosphere of life because of the residents living there.

There are several performances on the ancient stage every day. Between each performance, the actors would rehearse meticulously and polish their movements over and over again, without slacking off at all due to the uncertainty of the audience size.

The stone staircase with the highest appearance rate in the ancient city is very touching.

Countless stone steps, stone roads, and one-person alleys are mottled and covered with moss, full of the vicissitudes of time and the precipitation of history.

[OK]--Zhoushan Chapter

Without choosing to go to Putuo, the trip to Zhoushan was relatively relaxed.

The Ningbo Cross-Sea Bridge was built very early, and the majestic bridge once became a landmark building that tourists competed to visit. Unfortunately, it was foggy that day and the visibility was too low. It was a pity that no photos could be taken that could show the momentum of the bridge. After arriving on the island, the islands are connected by bridges of various shapes, crossing the mountains and crossing the bridges. The scenery along the road is also very unique.

In order to increase the amount of exercise, we identified the only attraction as the Baishan Scenic Area, which is not particularly popular. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. The mountain climbing process is not boring. Countless huge rocks form various natural stone crevices and cave shapes. Visitors need to climb high and low in these winding stone roads, or bend down and drill sideways. It is very fun.

The narrow stone crack almost stuck my big schoolbag.

Stonehenge in various shapes.

Looking far from the top of the mountain, Putuo Mountain is opposite. It is said that Guanyin taught between the two islands and jumped from here to Mount Putuo on the other side.

The sacred image of Guanyin painted on the mountain wall. The large-scale performance "Impression of Putuo" uses this mountain as the natural background.

After going down the mountain, we took a casual walk to Shenjiamen Fishing Port, a peaceful fishing port during the fishing ban.

If you want to better experience the local culture, the best place to go is the vegetable market. After visiting the vegetable markets in Xiangshan and Zhoushan respectively within two days, we were shocked by the huge scale. There is a dazzling array of seafood, fresh fish and shrimp, and full shellfish, which makes people dizzying. Especially the flash-blind Zhoushan hairtail made us involuntarily buy one and take it to the restaurant for processing. Many foreign tourists buy seafood in large quantities and complete the entire process of packaging and shipping directly in the market. However, I have always felt that local specialties will not be delicious if I take them home. If you think it's delicious, eat it locally and leave the delicious food in your mind.

[OK]--Ningbo Chapter

I stayed in Ningbo for two consecutive nights and basically didn't go to the bustling areas. I just went to the Yao River to explore the way in the morning of the third day and enjoyed the night view on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Sigh! Nowadays, night light shows in many cities are very cool.

Early the next morning, we ran for a ten-kilometer morning run along both sides of the Yao River. My husband and I have been continuing this habit for a long time. Especially during travel, try to discover the most classic local running routes as much as possible. On the one hand, we can enjoy delicious food while increasing consumption. On the other hand, it is more important to use our footsteps to experience the heartbeat of a city and discover the beauty of the city.

Morning and night in the same scenery...

[Accommodation]--Ningbo Chapter

Ningbo chose two hotels for two nights, each with its own characteristics.

The Shufang Hotel is hidden in a hotel similar to a B & B in the Haishu business district. It is surrounded by many gourmet restaurants, so that we missed it perfectly despite navigation N times. The low-key two-character sign in the study reflects the cool color light, forming a huge contrast with the noisy and exaggerated restaurants and restaurants around it.

Hotel at the end of the path.

The main entrance of the hotel.

The surrounding restaurants and restaurants were flashing with neon lights, making it more and more noisy than night.

Only when you enter the hotel can you deeply understand the origin of the hotel's name. As soon as you enter the door, it is like jumping into a sea of books. Whether it is from wall printing, scene design at a certain corner, to getting on the elevator and swiping the room card and entering the room to open the door, everything is related to books. Especially swiping the card into the room is the biggest mystery. It is refreshing. As for what method it is, I will not spoil it, leaving you a suspense and providing the hotel with an opportunity to be proud and proud when introducing Xuanji.

The room is fully equipped, and the bedding and toiletries are of good quality. When welcoming each new guest, the hotel front desk will escort you into the room with a cold water bottle in hand. Later, you will realize the necessity of this, otherwise you will not be able to enter the room.

When I left the store in the morning, the whole world was quiet!

The other is the old five-star Sheraton hotel. There is nothing special about the room area, facilities and equipment, and breakfast. It is an old five-star hotel. Our main focus is that the hotel is close to Yaojiang, which is convenient for us to run in the morning. At the same time, the hotel's gym can meet our need for some strength exercise in the afternoon, That's all!

This is a room that the hotel upgraded for free and is a little larger.

[Food]--Dinner Chapter

With three dinners in three days, seafood is undoubtedly the C position in the delicious food section of this trip.

Kaiyuan Seafood Family No. 1 Restaurant in Shipu, Zhoushan is actually the Kaiyuan Hotel restaurant. Spacious and bright, with thoughtful service, it belongs to the standard of a star-rated hotel. The ingredients are fresh, hygienic and reliable, and the price is not too high. It is definitely the king of value for money.

Fruit before meal.

Pleasant dining environment.

An ordering method that combines bright ingredients and pictures.

Yuzi noodles are a specialty of Shipu and must order! Pseudo-noodles are made from mackerel meat and served with tender and tender vegetables. They are nutritious, have a special taste, and have a finishing touch with sesame oil.

The swimming crabs in scallion oil, carefully cut into pieces, exquisitely placed on the plate, and the rich aroma of green onions surprised the northern husband who only knows how to steam and poach swimming crabs!

There is no upper limit to order steamed scallops for one yuan, which is a huge value. If you want to eat there, please check the restaurant's special activities on DP in advance.

My favorite, clams. I love the simple soy sauce dip and the fresh and sweet taste!

Steamed yellow croaker

With the blessing of seafood, you can order vegetarian dishes that you choose not to order, haha!

Zhoushan Shenjiamen Fishing Port Seafood Street. Faced with a large number of seafood restaurants, outsiders can only use DP screening. According to our conditions: first, we rank among the top in favorable reviews, and second, we can help us process self-purchased hairtail, so we finally chose Smiley Seafood Restaurant.

If you are also ordering in open time, you will have difficulty in making choices! They all want to eat it, but it's just a bird's stomach.

Mixed with jellyfish, it has a thick, hard and crisp taste!

Stir-fried razor clams, but the price seems to have no advantage, it is more expensive than the ones bought in Shanghai.

Fish with tofu and pepper salt

Seafood noodles have pimples and a little clear soup.

Focus on the hairtail we bought. Although it is a big hairtail weighing more than a pound, the meat is extremely tender, soft and sweet. It is really delicious. My husband only knew how to eat hairtail when he was a child. He disliked steaming and thought it was too fishy. Now, facing such a famous Zhoushan hairtail, he can also taste the delicacy of the hairtail itself from the steaming. I also feel that I haven't eaten such high-quality fresh hairtail for a long time in Shanghai. Of course, if I pay a lot of money, I can still eat it, after all, it's not far away.

After-dinner fruits, grapes as sweet as honey, are very popular with us.

I originally wanted to choose a certain stove for dinner in Ningbo City, but I missed the best time for fitness, and when I arrived at the door of the store, I was scared by the crazy scene of waiting for people. The next best choice was to go to the Internet celebrity restaurant-Tiegobi, which did not bring us unexpected surprises. This is a restaurant that combines Ningbo flavors and innovative flavors. There are still waiting tables before seven o'clock, and there are only about ten tables in the narrow first-floor lobby. After finally sitting down, I found that many signature dishes were sold out. It was very difficult to choose Ningbo's representative dishes from the only dishes.

Ningbo Roast Vegetable

Rotten skin yellow croaker roll

Roasted duck with dried plum vegetables

you Bao Xia

Baked tofu with baby vegetables

yangchun noodles

The wine is brewed into round seeds without filling.

To be honest, the taste is average, and I am once again disappointed with Internet celebrities.

[Food]--Snack Chapter

In the eyes of foreigners, tank duck dogs are the NO1 of Ningbo dumplings, and there is no one! The ducks and dogs on Nantang Street can always miss good food when shopping. In fact, the same as in the country, the tastes of time-honored brands are often disappointed because expectations are too high. The same is true for vat ducks and dogs. Their taste is ordinary. I believe that the products from small shops on the street will never be inferior. But because of the restaurant's layout, the wooden latticed windows, the Jiangnan scenery outside the window, and the friendly waiter and auntie in the store who enthusiastically introduce dishes and prepare dips, I am willing to pay for this brand.

Steamed wonton with a shrimp inside. There was no meat or vegetables. The aunt mixed the ingredients.

Open the onion oil noodles.

broth ball

Rotten glutinous rice roll

Signature black sesame dumplings.

One is a must-check snack for foreigners, and the other is a breakfast choice for locals-Weiyi Breakfast.

It is definitely a daily and local breakfast shop. It is the only choice for breakfast for nearby residents, sanitation workers working around, housing agencies, etc. Locals often use a bowl of noodles, a bowl of wontons or a few steamed buns to quickly solve it. We are outsiders who come here specially to pull grass. We order all the signature features. As for the good or bad taste, we have no say. Local flavor is a try and experience. These are all ancestral tastes of the local people, more related to habits.

The red bean dumplings amaze me, the soft and crispy red bean paste, the small dumplings with Q bullets, and the moderate sweetness. I have no resistance to sweet glutinous food. This taste is fatal. If I don't consider anything else, I can drink the whole pot.

Steamed wontons with sesame oil.

fried dumplings

Outside the vegetable market in Xiangshan, my husband also added meals for himself. The meatloaf and sugar cakes made by my grandma have a strong flavor of ancient morning, which are rare now.

[Words written at the back]

An unplanned trip was chosen purely because the airfare was cheap. The experience process was very surprising. In the future, more weekend leisure tours can be arranged to randomly select travel destinations based on special airfare! Haha, it's addictive.

City tours can be more in-depth. In addition to checking in famous attractions, you can also experience the daily life of local people in all aspects such as food, shopping, and sports. You will have a deeper understanding and understanding of the city.

Don't spend too much time sleeping in at hotels or queuing up at Internet celebrity stores. It's too unworth it for a moment of laziness and unlimited hype among Internet celebrities, and it will also invisibly increase the cost of travel.
