  • Ningbo, formerly Mingzhou in the Song Dynasty, is home to the best glutinous rice balls in China. The best place to try these treats is Cylinder Duck Dog, a breakfast restaurant established in 1926. Ningbo's local cuisine is also well known for it's seafood. To experience the fishing culture and small traditional villages in this region of Zhejiang Province, we head to Li Min Village on the edge of Dongqian Lake. I recommend you go cafe hopping in this quaint area. The perfect way to explore the lake and navigate the narrow streets is by renting a bike or scooter.
    Around Dongqian Lake you will also find Hanling Old Street Scenic Area and the famous art gallery.
    If you're looking for the modern experience of city life, head to the Old Bund area to see the vibrant night life and streets lined with bars. This area reminded me of Shanghai.
    If you're only in Ningbo for a few hours, head over to Moon Lake, also referred to as West Lake by locals. Here you can rent a duck pedal boat or relax in the tranquil gardens. From here, it's just a short walk to Ningbo Drum Tower and Gulou Pedestrian Street where you can find traditional street food and architecture.

    宁波,原名宋代明州,是中国最好的汤圆之乡。尝试这些美食的最佳地点是 Cylinder Duck Dog(缸鸭狗),这是一家成立于 1926 年的早餐餐厅。宁波的当地美食是以海鲜而闻名的,为了体验浙江省这一地区的渔业文化和传统小村落,我们将前往东钱湖边的利民村。我建议可以在这个古色古香的地区逛逛咖啡馆,探索这一片区域最佳方式是租一辆自行车或电动车。
    东钱湖周边还有寒岭老街风景区和著名的美术馆。
    如果您想体验现代的城市生活,可以前往老外滩地区,感受充满活力的夜生活和酒吧林立的街道。这个地区让我想起了上海。
    如果您只在宁波短暂停留,可以前往月湖,也就是当地人所说的“西湖”。您可以在这里租一艘鸭脚踏船或在宁静的花园中放松身心。从这里步行不远便可抵达宁波鼓楼和步行街,您可以在那里找到传统的街头美食和建筑。

      Ming, Qing dynasty, Shanghai was economical and culturally important to the country. And Songjiang Fu(city, Shanghai County was governed by song Jiang fu) contributed 10 times Tax as much as Ningbo Fu(City). You should go to learn history, not spit bullshit. Old Shanghai is county, almost half of Ningbo city(Fu) and almost the same amount of Suzhou city(Fu) immigrated to shanhai.

Haha. 12:14 It is unfortunate that the bars at old bund are expensive. Where there are many people who hang out, where the demand is high in the end the marked just want to set the prizes high to take out as much money of its client as possible. This i think is a greedy market philosophy that exist on earth today at the cost of the consumer and tourists...Hanging out in the city would be a lot more fun if the prizes were more honest and constant.
