    This is known as the oldest private library in China. I like the video where they explained how Emperor Qian Long was so impressed at the library design that he used the structural design to build other libraries as well. Exhibits have english wordings which is helpful for non-english speaking tourists.

    It takes about 2 hours to get there from Ningbo on bus line 638, but it’s all worth it. The Wulongtan National Park is beautiful, lots of bamboo forest walks, a whole lot of stairs to climb, nice waterfalls and lakes, a mountaintop altar (pagoda), and the incredible glass bridge. What a scenery…recommended. RMB 50 entry fee + RMB 60 for the bridge + RMB 5 for the bus - WeChat pay 👌 highly recommended, it’s been stunning

    Very interesting park! Scenic surroundings, great photo op of the figurines, Buddha statue and the tower in the background. Very serene as well.

    Be cautious with timing and transportation- I did not leave until sundown and hitchhiked to get back to Ningbo Beilun area, which could have been very dangerous. I took an Uber there and did not have an option for public transit on the way back.

    One immediately notices the architectual difference between the Ningbo Museum and most other museums in China. The regular style has been replaced by a sea-motif. This is very suitable given the crucial relationship & role water (both domestic - the Grand Canal and sea) has played in the history of the city and area. There are a few good books in English at the gift shop. I especially recommned the one chronicling the porcelian trade. There are also interesting rotating exhibits. It is a little unreported fact that the original Bund area was in Ningbo some two decades before the term was used in its economic and cultural rival Shanghai.

    It's a tourist trap, albeit a fun walk. Lots of shops and local food. I don't expect you'll find any locals there.

    Baoguo Temple is not far from Ningbo, with the magnificent architecture it is a famous temple. There is a viewing platform on the left, you can see the nearby mountains and the view is excellent. Definitely worth a visit!!

    The Ashoka Temple is located on the outskirts of Ningbo. The most important thing about the Ashoka Temple is the collection of Buddha Suli, and I have the opportunity to see it. No tickets are required, there are gifts in the temple that can be used, and there is no need to buy incense outside.

    They have converted the lanes behind this tower to lots of small shops and eateries. Good to go there with a empty stomach to try the different stalls there.

    A nice place for families, accommodating over 200 species. I remembered there is a large VR museum telling the history of different animals. I went there in August, hot, but can met many families on the way, my friend went there recently and show me a photo of the flamingo. Unluckily I went there only to see the sleepy giant pandas. But the brown bear is very lively.
