Things to do in Cixi

It's really a place with few people and beautiful scenery on weekends, and there are all kinds of delicious food. It's definitely worth recommending. Shanghai happened to be hit by smog and I had to escape quickly. Here, there are beautiful mountains, water and people. I like the company of fish and water, and there are all kinds of delicious lake seafood.

Although my trip to Yuyao was rushed, I still managed to steal a moment in the afternoon to visit Wang Yangming's former residence in the old town area. Located in the heart of Yuyao, the residence is free – a big thumbs up! For small groups, a guided tour is recommended. The residence is small yet fully functional, especially with a café in one corner of the courtyard. Wang Yangming (1472-1529), originally named Yun, later changed to Shouren, courtesy name Bo'an, commonly known as Master Yangming, was a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. He was a renowned philosopher, educator, and military strategist in ancient my country, holding the official position of Minister of War in Nanjing, and was posthumously honored as Earl of Xinjian. Despite a life filled with hardship and adversity, he upheld virtue and righteousness, possessing both literary and military talents, achieving remarkable success. His unique "School of Mind" system, in particular, broke through the barriers of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism at the time, occupying an important position and exerting a profound influence after the Ming Dynasty. His disciples are found throughout the country, and his scholarship continues to this day, making him a giant in the academic world and a "teacher for a hundred generations." Wang Shizhen, a renowned scholar of the Qing Dynasty, praised Wang Yangming, saying that he was "at the pinnacle in establishing virtue, merit, and words," and called him "a first-rate figure of the Ming Dynasty." Therefore, it is worth visiting if you have the time.

Qilu·Visiting Pengshan It is said that the quest for immortality begins here, and the ancients mistakenly thought they were going to Penglai. The cliffs on the east side overlook the vast sea, and the Lingshi Terrace on the west side of Qindu Temple. The imaginary wandering monks left their footprints, and the first emperor of the millennium has been covered in dust. I have heard of the elixir of immortality, but how could Xu Fu ever find it?

Yangming Ancient Town is still very unique, with historical sites, delicious food, and a festive atmosphere. Langxia soy milk is very unique. It is the first time I have eaten salty soy milk with beef or mutton cubes. It feels a bit like tofu pudding and a bit like egg custard. It's a pity that it is closed on Mondays and some venues cannot be visited.

very historical and meaningful place. would definitely book again and a must see place in Ningbo

It's quite far from the main urban area, and you have to take a taxi both ways. Taxis are convenient and cheap, and the archaeological park is definitely worth a visit to learn about the production and living conditions of our ancestors 7,000 years ago.

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.

Shanghai After Dark — The Bund Never Sleeps ✨“Where the river reflects a thousand city lights and the future rises above a timeless waterfront. The Bund is more than a view — it’s Shanghai at its most magical, where elegance, ambition, and endless dreams meet.” 🌃❤

This trip with my two children on the Three Rivers Night Cruise was definitely a delightful surprise. The cruise departs from the Old Bund Wharf, a 50-minute journey traversing the Yaojiang, Fenghua, and Yongjiang rivers. Over ten bridges, including Lingqiao and Qinqiao, are brightly lit, and the reflections of the Corn Building and the Catholic Church on the river create a dreamlike atmosphere. The cabins are spacious and stable, so there's no need to worry about the children getting bumped or hurt. Stepping onto the deck and enjoying the summer night breeze is incredibly pleasant. The onboard audio guide narrates Ningbo's history in a captivating way, which fascinates the children and provides them with a glimpse into the local culture. The overall pace of the trip is relaxed and not tiring. The only downside is the short queue for boarding during peak season. Enjoying the blend of ancient and modern scenery on both banks while feeling the evening breeze is a fantastic family experience and definitely worth a visit to Ningbo.
