Ningbo Spring Walking Tour Diary | Three Days and Two Nights of Food and Fun

| Three days and two nights of food and fun. Hey ladies! Your local Ningbo expert is here to share the ultimate spring walking tour guide! Ningbo in March is a beauty of the south with its own filter: cherry blossoms with qingtuan, seafood with fermented glutinous rice balls, and even the air smells of soft and chewy rice cakes~ (Foodies, assemble!) 🍜【Conquer Ningbo Cuisine】 1️⃣ Breakfast Assassin Alert! Cangqiao Noodle Knots "Boss! Noodle knots soup with rice cakes!" This generations-old shop starts its queue at 6 am. The noodle knots are thin as cicada wings, wrapped around a meat filling. One bite sends you straight to foodie heaven~ (Friendly reminder: bring digestive medicine) 2️⃣ Paradise for Chewy Food Lovers: Guhai Rice Cakes Qingtuan assassin incoming! Savory qingtuan filled with shepherd's purse and dried tofu. One bite and you're transported to "A Bite of China." The aroma of mugwort mixes with the rich filling. I recommend buying two boxes (don't ask why). 3️⃣ Seafood Mania Night Out: Baisha Wharf Food Stalls Freshly caught and cooked small yellow croaker dances on the iron plate, and the razor clams are fatter than your fingers! Pair it with a bowl of warm fermented glutinous rice balls. Enjoy a seafood feast for only ¥80 per person (remember to bring a hair tie for the battle). 🏡【Stay in "Little Ningbo" Hotel】 💸 Must-try hotel → Duogao Art Hotel Xingning Road Branch (Duogao Art Hotel, Ningbo Tianyi Square, Xingning Bridge East Subway Station Branch) A hotel full of Ningbo characteristics: room numbers in Ningbo dialect, Ningbo specialties in the lobby, Ningbo scenery in the corridors, and Ningbo-style breakfast (I accidentally devoured two bowls)... Subway, bus, and shared bikes are readily available, and all attractions are within a 3 km radius... (🤫And the price is amazing!!) 🌸【Spring Walking Tour Route】 DAY 1: Tianyi Pavilion for the scent of books → Moon Lake Park for boating and feeding ducks (Picture 5) → Old Bund night tour (don't drink too much and fall into the river!) DAY 2: Cycling around East Qianhu Lake (remember to bargain for bike rentals) → Hanling Old Street for Liangnong Rice Cakes → Academician Center to take photos at the filming location of Tan Jianci's new drama "The Filter" (even a solo shot counts! 😕 Picture 1) DAY 3: Cicheng Ancient Town in Hanfu → Baoguo Temple to marvel at the millennial wooden structure → Devour 10 Youzanzi before heading back 💡Essential Tips: ✔️ Peak cherry blossom season is from late March to early April. East Qianhu Lake and Cherry Blossom Park will be packed with people... ✔️ Ningbo subway is currently free! But don't be like me and take the wrong direction all the way to Yuyao. ✔️ Bring an umbrella! Bring an umbrella! Bring an umbrella! The spring rain in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai cries more than a K-drama heroine. Finally, let's be honest: It's not my fault I gained 5 jin in three days in Ningbo! Blame the freshly baked moss rice cakes, the braised bamboo shoots with rice, and the enthusiastic food stall owner who said, "Here's another plate of clams on the house"... 👉🏻Grab this "Ningbo Spring Survival Guide" and come bump into me at the rice cake stall! (If you see someone crying while eating, it's probably me mourning my weight).
