Ningbo Travel Guide

Not in Dali, but in Ningbo: A two-day, one-night travel guide: |||Ningbo, an underrated city, doesn't get too crowded even on holidays. Day 1: Chenghuang Temple 👉 Tianyi Square 👉 Drum Tower 👉 The Old Bund Ningbo actually has quite a few large-character signs for photos, and even on holidays, there aren't too many tourists at some of the attractions. Day 2: East Qian Lake, Academician Center 👉 Jianshe Village 👉 Limin Village (See pear blossoms, visit cafes, pretend you're in Dali. By the way, Limin Village is much more beautiful in spring than in winter. It is recommended to rent an electric scooter, otherwise you'll be exhausted from walking.) There are over 30 cafes in Limin Village, so you're bound to find one you like. I went to Sparrow's Joy, Eight Degrees Nice, and White Deer. 🌟About Food (Snacks): Rice cakes from Juxian, Cangqiao Noodle Knot Shop, Ninghai snacks (seaweed cakes), Wuji Milk Tea, Xiangshan Xiaobaixiang Seafood Noodles, Youzanzi (there are many, judge for yourself), Lao Zhou's Beef Brisket (the scallion oil noodles are delicious, but the portions are huge, good for sharing), Ruhui Fenghua Pastries (don't recommend buying too much, some only have a one-day shelf life). 🌟Seafood: I asked a few locals, and saw some mixed reviews online saying they were tourist traps, but I thought they tasted better than the ones in Shanghai, and they're really not expensive. I'll write a separate detailed post about them. 1️⃣ Amo (delicious large intestines) 2️⃣ Hongdenglong Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant (don't recommend buying the yellow mud snails here to take home, they're too small) 3️⃣ Qingjiamu Bistro (seems cheap, but the portions are small) 4️⃣ Yongshang Mingzao (super crowded, good value) 5️⃣ Xiaoyuchang Private Kitchen (I like their Shiba Zhan, and I bought some yellow mud snails to take home, they were quite big).
