Yuehu Park is an open central park in Ningbo. Although there are endless traffic on the roads on all sides, the park is very quiet and peaceful. It has a garden with ethnic characteristics. The pavilions and bridges are traditional Chinese forms, and several ancient buildings are preserved.
There are many attractions worth seeing in the scenic area, including Tianyi Pavilion itself, Mingzhou Stele Forest, Qin's Branch Temple, and the Exhibition Hall of the Origin of Mahjong. Tianyi Pavilion is very special in terms of fire prevention, ventilation, and moisture prevention. For example, there is a firewall between it and Fan's residence. There is a "Tianyi Pool" in front of the building, which draws water into the pool and stores water to prevent fire.
Yuehu Scenic Area also often holds activities. For example, the Lantern Festival this year was held, which was held again in 20 years. This year, a large lawn of 3,000 square meters was opened for the first time during the May Day holiday to hold the "May Day Fun Yuehu, Market Fun" event. The night view of the scenic area is also beautiful. The warm lights outline the soft lakeshore, and the pavilions, bridges and terraces are beautiful and stunning under the lights.
Tianyi Pavilion is one of the four largest book collection buildings in China. It is a Chinese garden building, and every design reflects the wisdom of the ancients. I entered the park just in time for the free explanation of the volunteers, which gave me a better understanding of Tianyi Pavilion. I am very grateful to the volunteers for providing free explanation services to tourists on such a hot day, which greatly enhanced the experience of visiting the park.

Chiang Kai-shek's old house is at the foot of the mountain. It was extremely hot recently, so I took a quick walk to learn a little about the culture and history. Xuedou Mountain is slightly cooler than the foot of the mountain. The scenery is nice, but nothing too special.
Although the children were confused, they also had a little understanding of the important historical figures. Xikou has done a good job in protecting cultural relics, and it is a worthwhile historical tour.

Romon Indoor Amusement Park is very suitable for bringing children to play. You can play countless projects. I came on Friday and there was basically no queue. The queue was no more than five minutes. It is a good place to bring children.
Overall, the park is quite enjoyable, with a wide range of rides, most of which are located in the city, and some are outdoors. The two roller coasters have relatively high height and age requirements compared to other domestic amusement parks, and there are scheduled parades. However, the food and beverages in the park are expensive, the taste is not good, and the selection is limited. The park's advantage is that it is less well-known to foreign tourists, so there are fewer people on weekends and no long queues. In addition, many rides are indoors, not affected by weather. The overall experience and value for money are good.

The entrance fee is quite reasonable, and there are few additional fees. For those who prefer not to walk, you can rent an electric scooter at the entrance, which is also quite affordable. Visiting at night is also quite fun. When it gets dark, the lights turn on, creating a beautiful scene. If it's too hot, cool down at the Ice and Snow World, where you'll find the largest night-shining pearl weighing 18 tons.
I've been to many film and television studios, and this one is quite good. The recently popular TV series "Lychees in Chang'an" was filmed here. The studio is huge, and a slow, counterclockwise tour through the main gate would take several hours. You can also rent an electric scooter right at the entrance to keep your feet free. During your visit, you'll even encounter the film crew, giving you a close-up glimpse into how the show is made.

The beach experience in China Fishing Village is perfect! The business hours are very reasonable, and you can have fun from morning to night. The beach is very fine, the sea water is clear, and the surrounding sky is as blue as a gem. Any photo you take is a wallpaper. The water projects are super fun, the water speedboat is full of speed, and the water tricycle is very leisurely, suitable for couples or families to play together. The horse battle performance is amazing, the actors are superb equestrians, the scene is grand, and people are excited. Ferris wheel, carousel and other projects in the carnival.
The first time I saw the endless sea, I was very excited. The sea water was very clean and the sand on the beach was very fine. This summer vacation, my mother took me to Huangcheng Beach. In summer, there are so many people coming to the beach! Especially children. There are some small sea creatures on the beach in the scenic area, and there are small crabs crawling there, but they are very sensitive and run faster than anyone else. I recommend that you must not miss Shipu Fishing Village. There are crowds of people on the beach.

Although it was the first "Bund" after the opening of the five ports to trade, the special noun "The Bund" was eventually taken away by Shanghai, which came later. Although it is the birthplace of the "Ningbo Gang" and has a longer history than Shanghai, it is ultimately inferior to the advantages of location and people. History always repeats itself, and Shenzhen has surpassed Guangzhou. It is really like the Yangtze River where the waves behind push the waves ahead.
This place, at night, is just a bar street, which is really incomparable to the Bund in Shanghai, and the river view at night is average.
Oh my, Ningbo Old Bund is such a treasure! When the lights are on at night, the river view is so beautiful, and the music in the bar is so exciting. The European-style buildings are very stylish for taking photos, and it is very convenient to go shopping, eat and drink. Feeling the river breeze and looking at the night view, I feel relaxed. It is definitely worth a visit!

Shipu Fishing Port Ancient Town is worth a visit! Strolling on the bluestone road built on the mountain, the ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered in an orderly manner, and the charm of time is everywhere. There are many exhibition halls in the city, which vividly display the fishing port culture. The seafood food is so fresh, and the fish balls and shrimp cakes are so delicious that you can't move your feet. When night falls, the fishing lights are lit, and the night view of the ancient port is beautiful. Any photo you take is a blockbuster. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of the thousand-year-old fishing port!
Shipu Ancient City is very fun. There are many displays inside. There is a robot dog dancing at the door, which is fun. There are also many exhibition halls inside, including some opera performances. It is a wonderful day to walk around in this ancient city and have fun.

In spring, you can also experience the fun of picking tea. There is a tea room on the top of the mountain, enjoy a cup of aromatherapy, and enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of you. It is very uncomfortable to enter the wetland park: close to Shilisi Township, very suitable for parent-child science activities. . You can row here and display insect specimens and research activities, so that children can harvest knowledge during play. Yinwan Village: As the location of "Yinwan Fishing Fire", one of the ten scenic spots of Dongqian Lake, the antique architecture is full of a simple and quiet atmosphere, so that people can get precipitation. The tour route Tui recommends to play clockwise, the route is: the academician center → Limin Village → Xiao Putuo → Hanling Old Street → International Lake House → Qianhu Secret Land. This can efficiently appreciate the unique charm of Dongqian Lake everywhere. The traffic guide recommends driving by car. From Ningbo city, you can reach the scenic spot in about 1 hour.

Although my child is already in high school, he still comes to the zoo several times a year because he loves animals so much. The environment is great, and it would be even better if we could spend more money on animals in the future!
The zoo has a rich variety of animals and the park is very large, but the map guide inside can be optimized, and there are too many secondary charging items inside

This time, Ningbo Museum was fortunate to introduce the Sanxingdui cultural relics exhibition, which allowed us to see many surprising cultural relics, such as the bronze sacred tree, bronze human face, golden mask, etc. What is rare is that the production technology, craftsmanship and purpose of these cultural relics are still a mystery. This time the cultural relics came to Ningbo, which allowed children to have a face-to-face and in-depth understanding. It is very good.
The biggest highlight is that there is no highlight! It feels like the product is not the same as the version! It is related to Sanxingdui, but not much! There are not many exhibits! As shown in the picture, the other ones are not very relevant!
