Ningbo

A thousand-year-old port city and city of books, with Tianyi Pavilion, the Old Bund and Xiangshan seafood each offering their own flavor.

Ningbo lies on the northeastern coast of Zhejiang. It is the sea outlet at the southern end of the Grand Canal and a port city with a long history. In the urban area you will find Tianyi Pavilion, one of the oldest surviving private libraries, along with the Old Bund, Moon Lake and the Drum Tower, and the Ningbo Museum is architecturally striking. Nearby are Baoguo Temple, Tiantong Temple and Ashoka Temple, and Xikou in Fenghua and Xuedou Mountain are beautiful. In the old fishing-port town of Shipu in Xiangshan you can enjoy fresh seafood, and in summer you can head to the beach at Songlan Mountain. Spring and autumn are the best times to travel, and autumn, after the fishing moratorium ends, brings the richest seafood. You can arrive via Ningbo Lishe International Airport or by high-speed rail to Ningbo Station.
