When it comes to weekend travel destinations with delicious food and fun around the Magic City, Ningbo can definitely be ranked first, but after coming and going, we only know Dongqian Lake, Tianyi Pavilion, Old Bund and Yuehu Park, which are traditional attractions that are no longer novel? Still want to complain that Ningbo is a tourist desert? NO! NO! NO! That's because you haven't made a good strategy. In fact, Ningbo has a lot of niche ways to play~ ❓Where to go in Ningbo 👉 Cicheng Ancient County Scenic Area It is said that Ningbo rice cakes are delicious, but if you ask Ningbo locals, they will first recommend Cicheng rice cakes. Of course, you can’t miss the opportunity to check in this super delicious ancient city! The Confucius Temple/Ancient County Government/Xiaoshiguan/Cihu Academy all have profound historical and cultural heritage. There are not many tourists and it is very suitable for leisurely sightseeing and strolling. 👉 Baoguo Temple Ancient Architecture Museum This is my second visit to Baoguo Temple. It has a collection of wooden structures from the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, all of which can be found here. The Beamless Hall is so beautiful that I can’t get enough of it! ❓Where to live in Ningbo 👉 Ningbo Seventeen Room Kaiyuan Guantang It’s so cool to live directly in the resort hotel in Ningbo Shiqifang Scenic Area‼ ️ Transforming the ancient village of hundreds of years into a space that integrates Chinese and Western elements, it is not only beautiful but also more livable, which completely exceeded expectations💯 The hotel also thoughtfully prepared a lot of interesting activities, such as tie-dye hand-made, woodblock rubbing, fireside tea making, water rubbing round fans and handmade lantern making... There are so many activities that I can't play them all, and I just regret that there is not enough time~ The hotel is not far from Cicheng Ancient County and Baoguo Temple, about 20-30 minutes' drive away. You can easily go around there after settling in. The most important thing is that for such a great hotel, you can stay in a single-family villa for just a few hundred dollars, which is really cost-effective💥 ❓Where to eat in Ningbo 👉 Ningbo Seventeen Rooms New Century Guantang Hotel·Zheng's Kitchen (Seventeen Rooms Kaiyuan Road Branch) Don’t think that restaurants in hotels must be expensive. This Zheng’s Kitchen in Qifang Kaiyuan Guantang not only tastes great, but also has a great price-performance ratio. You can eat as much as you want for just a few dozen yuan per person😋😋 👉 Cicheng Rice Cake Theme Restaurant You can easily enjoy the rice cake feast that you can't find anywhere else, including rice cakes with eels, pickled fish and pickled mustard greens that you have never seen before.

I stayed at the Seventeen Room Kaiyuan Guantang Hotel this weekend. Not only was the accommodation very comfortable, the food was also quite good. The hotel's breakfast room is also located in an old building. Not only is the environment of the restaurant antique and unique, it also has a unique charm. There are all kinds of breakfast, including Chinese dim sum, Western dim sum, cakes, bread, various dishes, drinks, etc., which are of course the usual ones, but there are so many that you will be dazzled. The fried dough sticks here are freshly fried, and there is also fresh tofu pudding, and you can DIY your own sweet and savory flavors. What’s even more amazing is that many of Ningbo’s traditional delicacies, such as 粢饭块, 油赞子, and Ningbo glutinous rice balls, allow foreign tourists to feel the charm of Ningbo cuisine starting from breakfast. We also had dinner at Zheng's Kitchen restaurant below the hotel. Fortunately, we went early and didn't have to wait for a table. However, many Ningbo specialties that we wanted to eat were sold out during dinner time. Because business is so good on the weekend, we suggest that everyone go there early to dine. The sesame oil duck and smoked fish are especially delicious. The smoked fish is made from pomfret and is quite cost-effective. Of course, if you want to eat some more distinctive snacks, you can also buy them in the scenic area. There are many specialty snack shops here.

📍Location: Ningbo Seventeen Rooms Kaiyuan Hotel · Zhengjia Kitchen (Seventeen Rooms Kaiyuan Road Store), located at No. 777 Kaiyuan Road. 🌿 Store environment: This store has an antique farmhouse courtyard style, with a public kitchen specially set up to add a lot of life. The small trees and autumn scenery in the courtyard seem to take people back in time to enjoy peace and warmth. 💆‍♀Service: I bought a group purchase package. 🍽Dishes: Sauce Steamed Hairtail: 🐟This dish is fresh and tender, with a rich sauce and no fishy smell. The meat is soft and smooth, slowly melting in the mouth, but a bit salty! Eggplant Rice Cake: 🍆🥢The eggplant is soft and tasty, and the rice cake is chewy and rich, forming a perfect texture when combined. A classic Ningbo dish! Hand-Pressed Vegetables Stewed Noodles: 🍜🌿The fresh aroma of hand-pressed vegetables and the softness of the noodles are well stewed, with a lot of meat in the tofu skin, almost too much to finish! Tofu Skin Yellow Croaker Roll: 🐠🥢The tofu skin is crispy but not greasy, and the yellow croaker roll is rich in ingredients. This is my favorite dish! Fermented Rice Balls: 🍚🍡Sweet but not greasy, the balls are soft and delicious, and the sweet aroma of the fermented rice is intertwined!

If I hadn't been selected as a "Must-Stay List Sleep Tester" this time, I might have regretted not coming here... The Ningbo Seventeen Rooms Kaiyuan Life Hotel I stayed at this time was unexpectedly good. The surrounding facilities and hotel amenities are complete, making it a great place for a vacation‼️ 🏠Hotel Room: I didn't expect the arranged king bed room to have two floors. 🌈First floor: Living room and main bathroom.

The Chinese restaurant of Shiqifang Kaiyuan Hotel is called Zhengjia Kitchen, which offers good value for money and delicious food for all ages. Zhengjia Kitchen mainly serves Ningbo cuisine, as this is the birthplace of the Zheng family. The dishes served here not only inherit the local characteristics of Ningbo cuisine, but also combine unique Jiangsu and Zhejiang flavors. Looking at the braised food shops all over the street, it is not difficult to imagine the foodies' preference for strong flavors. The dishes are stewed with a hundred flavors, and every inch of meat is full of flavor. Is the meat dish a bit greasy? Don't forget the crispy and refreshing sheep tail bamboo shoots and baby bok choy. The baby bok choy is rich in flavor with the addition of oil residue, and the sheep tail bamboo shoots are fresh and tender after 3 hours of roasting and boiling. Everything is just right.

Every corner here is imbued with the marks of history.

The children are on winter vacation, so, for a bit of relaxation, the hotel's series of child-friendly activities are about to begin. This time, the choice is Zheng's Seventeen Rooms Kaiyuan Guantang in Zhenhai, Ningbo. Let's talk about why to go: 1️⃣This is the largest and best-preserved group of ancient Ming and Qing buildings in China. You can see white walls, grey tiles, and small bridges over flowing water everywhere on the misty stone paths. 2️⃣As a family hotel, it has its own children's playground within the scenic area. 3️⃣The hotel organizes activities from time to time, which children can participate in, and also allows fireworks to be set off in the hotel. Okay, the reasons for going are over, the rest is to take action and experience it. The experience this time can be summarized in the following parts: 🚗In terms of travel, the hotel is located in Kaiyuan Guantang, Seventeen Rooms, Ningbo. It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Shanghai. Please note that the hotel's parking lot is not large and there is no underground parking. If you arrive late, you may not be able to park. 🏠Accommodation conditions, the hotel is divided into two phases, the first phase is the guest room with ancient architectural style, and the second phase is the independent small residence. This time I lived in the second phase, and the room pictures are posted above. Overall, the room is standard, not too large, with a small courtyard, and the sound insulation is also acceptable. The only drawback is that the bed is too small, and my 1.8-meter tall body hangs over the edge when I sleep. 🎠Children's playground The hotel has its own children's playground and a swimming pool. The size of the children's playground is as shown in the picture. It's not very large, and my child played in it for more than two hours. The swimming pool has a major flaw, the water is shallow and the area is small, suitable for children to play, but not for adults to swim. 🎡Hotel activities There are some intangible cultural heritage experiences in the scenic area, such as tie-dyeing, movable type printing, bonfire parties, and lantern sticking, which are relatively simple and suitable for children to experience. Activities will be changed regularly. When you check into the hotel, you will also receive a Hanfu experience coupon, but it didn't look very good, so I didn't try it. 🍚About catering There are two Chinese restaurants in the scenic area, Zheng Family Kitchen and Jianghu Restaurant. The taste is not bad, the main feature is large portions and affordable prices. The quality of breakfast is average, don't have too many expectations. If you really want to eat other food, you can drive to the nearby Aegean Sea or Wuyue Plaza, which is about a 20-minute drive one way. ☝️Special experience this time As a Shanghainese, I realized the freedom of fireworks🎆 in this hotel. There are fireworks shops near the hotel, and the hotel also sells some. Setting off fireworks at night is very comfortable.

The child loves hotel tours at the age of 3, and the Kaiyuan hotel coupons hoarded during the shopping festival were booked for the 17-room Kaiyuan Guantang recommended by colleagues in Ningbo~ Unexpectedly, the hotel = 17-room scenic spot, we can visit for free when we stay in the hotel, and deeply experience this so-called largest and best-preserved Ming and Qing architectural complex in Jiangsu and Zhejiang area‼️ .

Pitfalls❌ 1⃣️There are a lot of mosquitoes🦟, please be sure to bring mosquito repellent in summer and autumn 2⃣️Children's playground, the venue is not large but charges an extra 58 yuan/person, but there are free non-slip socks . 🅿️Transportation The 17-room Kaiyuan Resort in Ningbo is located at No. 777 Kaiyuan Road, Xiepu Town, Zhenhai District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Hangzhou. Exit the highway from Xiepu, there are road signs on the road to guide to the hotel 🏕️Accommodation We stayed in a duplex king room in the first phase of the ancient house. Living in the ancient house, the room space is very large, the 1⃣️ floor is the living room and large bathroom, the 2⃣️ floor is the bed and small toilet, the room sound insulation effect is slightly worse. It is said that the second phase is a detached villa, the environment and lighting will be better. The hotel swimming pool is relatively small, free 🍛Dining There are two restaurants in the scenic area, Jianghu Restaurant and Zheng's Kitchen, both of which are Ningbo dishes and small seafood. The taste is okay. The accommodation will give a discount coupon for Zheng's Kitchen. There is a frozen rice candy on the other side of the pond, which is sweet and crispy and also liked by children . Overall, as a scenic spot, the 17-room is a bit thin, but as the 17-room of Kaiyuan Hotel, it is full of fun🏕️ There are many surprises in the ancient house, wearing a Hanfu will have a special sense of crossing, sitting in the courtyard chatting and playing cards is also very comfortable, changing a style of walking the baby, it is also a pretty good experience🌿 . I am Chen Keai, in the process of resigning from the big factory and walking the baby, sharing a lot of treasure walking baby strategies in Hangzhou and the surrounding areas, welcome to follow me‼️
