Ninghai, a small city with a long history, not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also hides a profound cultural heritage. Many people don’t know that Ninghai also has a little-known identity, that is, "the hometown of Chinese ancient stage culture". According to historical records, there are more than 120 ancient stages in Ninghai, which is one of the areas in China with the most and best-preserved ancient stages. The ancient stages in Ninghai are mainly ancestral hall stages and temple stages. Their structures include the main stage, backstage, viewing building, and artistic caissons, etc., showing rich cultural connotations and architectural aesthetics. Those small and exquisite ancient stages are like a miniature cultural stage that brings together the essence of humanities and history and the brilliant artistic brilliance. They stand quietly and witness the changes of history.

Yancang Mountain Tourist Area

Yancang Mountain Tourist Area

Yancang Mountain Scenic Area is located on the eastern slope of the Tiantai Mountain range, between Meilin, Shenquan, and Xidian towns in Ninghai County. It covers an area of about five square kilometers, 18 kilometers from the county seat, 11 kilometers from Nanxi Hot Spring Resort, 64 kilometers from Ningbo Airport, and 75 kilometers from Ningbo City. Yancang Mountain is divided into several parts: the entrance, Yanmen Ancient Path, Yancang Valley, and Jiulong Stream. Yancang Valley has five peaks: Tianguan, Yuping, Baidi, Xianglu, and Guanhai, surrounding a hundred-acre secluded valley, resembling a wild goose nest. The bamboo forest remains lush all year round, with caves and giant walls scattered throughout. Wild geese often come here to overwinter. Jiulong Stream converges at Zhushan, resembling a gathering of dragons. There are six waterfalls and nine dragon pools in the stream, with rainbows dancing under the scorching sun. In the three small areas of Yancang Valley—Xiaoxitian, Jixiang Temple, and Yanmen Ancient Path—there are nine qi holes, such as Yinyang Palm, where hot air rises in the cold winter and cool breezes blow in the hot summer. Taoists call it Ziyang Vital Energy, which can strengthen the body and prolong life. Practitioners regard it as a treasured place. Eight spring eyes, such as Qinxiquan, either emerge from the mountains or from caves, containing metasilicic acid and various trace elements, which can cure diseases like the three-flavored pure water of Buddhism. Pilgrims regard it as holy water.

Minghu Park, Ningbo

Minghu Park, Ningbo

Minghu Park in Ningbo has a total planned construction area of about 52.7 hectares (about 790 acres), of which the northern area, i.e. the first phase of the project, has a planned construction area of about 23.7 hectares (355 acres), and the southern area, i.e. the second phase, has a total construction area of about 29 hectares (435 acres). It takes only 20 minutes for netizens to walk around the park, and they think Minghu is a bit small. There may be several reasons for this: The overall plan is not completed At present, only the northern area is open, and the southern area is still under construction, so a complete park scale has not yet been formed. When the southern area is completed and opened, the scale and landscape of the whole Minghu Park will be more abundant and complete, and the experience of tourists will be better. Comparison with expectations Earlier, the official said that the water area of Minghu is equivalent to the size of two Moon Lakes, and tourists may have formed great expectations based on this. However, when they actually visit, they may find a gap between their expectations and reality. Touring method Netizens may simply walk around the lake to feel the size of Minghu, without experiencing the various attractions and areas in the park. In fact, the space in Minghu Park is rich in layers and diverse in landscape. In addition to walking around the lake, there are many places worth stopping to enjoy and play, such as bridges of different styles, flower seas, and waterfront platforms.

Ninghai Scenic Spot - Qiangjiao Islands

Ninghai Scenic Spot - Qiangjiao Islands

Ninghai, a simple rural poet, is surrounded by mountains and the sea. It has many romantic poems that make people envious, and the Qiangjiao Islands are a group of beautiful, wild, and interesting mountain and sea passion poems. Ninghai has always been low-key, but it has the "calmest and clearest bay on the entire eastern coast," and the sea is the most moving background color of Ninghai. The sea here is clear, the bay is beautiful, and there are not many people on the island. It is leisurely and quiet, and the life in the fishing village hides a slow life that is completely different from the city. Blow the sea breeze, rent a small fishing boat, and sway to feel the fun of fishing and pulling cages at sea. Wait for a sunset on the boat, the dusk falls into the sea, and your face is flushed. The sea will make you forget everything, and the sea breeze is gentle. Here, you will have a rare vacation feeling in Zhejiang and even the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.

Qiantong Ancient Town

Qiantong Ancient Town

Qiantong Ancient Town covers an area of 68 square kilometers, with a population of 26,000. It is an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River with a long history, profound cultural accumulation, and a unique geographical environment. It is the largest settlement of the Tong surname in the south of the Yangtze River, preserving a complete set of Ming and Qing architectural complexes. It has been named as Zhejiang Province's Historical and Cultural Famous Town and Zhejiang Province's Tourism Town. Located 14 kilometers southwest of Ninghai County, Ningbo City, it is one of the best-preserved towns in the eastern Zhejiang region that embodies Confucian culture. In 2007, it was awarded the title of China's Historical and Cultural Famous Town. The local Tong family has been diligent in farming and learning since settling here during the Shao Ding period of the Southern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Tong Bolai twice invited Fang Xiaoru to lecture at the Shijing Jingshe, laying the foundation for a family of poetry and etiquette. Since then, following the virtues of optimizing the environment by diverting water and planting trees, cultivating and reading, and educating future generations, generations of talents have emerged, forming an ancient cultural style of 'small bridges and flowing water in every household, and ancient alleys and courtyards hiding art and literature.' This place is also the hometown of Tong Baoxuan, the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang province during the Xinhai Revolution, and the base of the Taishu Revolution. Attractions available for touring include well-preserved ancient houses, old streets, folk museums, Lushan Mountain, Shijing Mountain, Filial Daughter Lake, Chai Wanying Cypress, and Xu Xiake's ancient travel path.

Shili Hongzhuang Cultural Park

Shili Hongzhuang Cultural Park

The Shili Hongzhuang from the primary school textbooks was put into the museum and took six years to complete. The Shili Hongzhuang Cultural Park has the architect Wang Shu's iconic tile wall Bricks, tiles, stones, as well as the contrast formed by bamboo mats, wood and modern materials cut out sharp light The skylight that comes out in some narrow areas Let people guess that Wang Shu moved the impression of Qiantong Ancient Town into the park. The long and narrow space of Qiantong Ancient Town's streets is covered with eaves and eaves as if they could touch up Walking in the ancient town often feels like walking in a beam of light. There is often a similar feeling here However, the impact of Chinese-style horror is also very significant. At present, there is a large area of vacancy in the park Accompanied by the typical wedding elements of Chinese-style horror (after all, it is Shili Hongzhuang), the golden red and the overall gray-green color of the building have some overly large contrasts As well as the difference in brightness in different areas, it is really a bit scary when there are few people Overall, I really admire the architect's understanding and reconstruction of local traditional architecture A group of buildings worth seeing

Checked in at Ninghai's  with Yang Yang

Checked in at Ninghai's with Yang Yang

Seeing the photos Yang Yang took here, which are full of Chinese style and texture, I couldn't help but want to check in myself! The temple is quite large and very niche with hardly any visitors, making it very serene. The monk at the entrance was leisurely reading a book, which felt very comfortable~ The place where Yang Yang took photos is behind the main hall, probably where the monks study, and you need to enter from the side door. Once inside, it's truly stunning! With the main hall as the backdrop and exquisitely arranged garden plants, there's a large pond in front, and the sunlight is warm and cozy, making it especially comfortable! The temple feels very good overall, very spacious, with many intricate details. It's a temple I would be willing to visit many times... Admission: Free Parking: Free (Parking is available at the entrance of the residential area diagonally opposite the temple) Guangde Temple

Ninghai Anlan | Holiday Hotel

Ninghai Anlan | Holiday Hotel

Hotel: Ninghai Anlan Hotel Address: No. 1888, Hot Spring Road, Ninghai County, Ningbo City The hardware facilities are beyond reproach, still the familiar formula and taste. Hidden in the mountains and forests, with a wooden tone + oriental Zen, it is very suitable for vacation and relaxation. But it has to be said that the hard injury of Ninghai Anlan is really hard. All the buildings are very scattered, you must take a car to travel, and even need to change cars. The room is on a hill, the lobby is in the middle, the restaurant and other entertainment facilities are on another hill, and you have to take a car through a normally inhabited village in the middle. This setting makes it difficult to feel "secluded" and "paradise". In addition, the choice of restaurants in the hotel is also very limited, and the production is far from The Chedi Andermatt. The structure of the hotel even makes people dare not call room service, because they don't know how long it will take to transport, and whether these meals can withstand the bumps along the way. The time in the hotel this time is not very long, and I may not have fully experienced the facilities inside. But after waking up for two days, opening the curtains, and seeing the lush mountains outside the window, it is still very healing and relaxing.
