48-Hour Extreme Itinerary: Two Days & One Night Exploring Ningbo's Attractions & Food

Drive 2.5 hours from Suzhou to reach Ningbo 📝2D1N Route: **DAY 1**: - **Drum Tower**: Best photo spot at night is opposite the tower to avoid crowds. Climb up for a shot with the giant screen. - **Catholic Church**: Light shows at 8:25 PM and 8:55 PM. Stunning church and a filming location for *The Three-Body Problem*. - **Old Bund**: Near the church—explore while waiting for the light show. A street full of bars. **DAY 2**: - **Tianyi Square**: Huge mall with major brands and a fountain ⛲️. - **Tianyi Pavilion**: 5A scenic spot (book ahead, closes by 5:00 PM). Spacious—allow 2+ hours to explore. More like a grand garden than a museum. 🚗 **Transport**: Self-driving works. Attractions are close—shared e-bikes suffice. 🏠 **Stay**: Near Tianyi Square for convenience. 🍽️ **Food**: - **Lanxi Shibajiao**: Must-try stir-fried shrimp noodles. - **Xiaojinlong Restaurant**: Tiny diner, big flavors. - **Mingxiang Wonton King**: Fish ball-wonton combo with rich broth. - **Ninghai Seafood Restaurant**: Fresh seafood 🦞—pick your dishes live. - **Ruhui Dim Sum**: Best mugwort mochi (regret not buying more!). Red bean glutinous rice balls are chewy, not too sweet.
