Must-Visit in Ningbo! The Dazzling Old Bund

🎈Attraction Overview: Ningbo Old Bund is located in Jiangbei District at the confluence of the Yongjiang, Yuyaojiang, and Fenghuajiang rivers. As one of China's oldest foreign settlements opened in 1844, it boasts 54 national, provincial, municipal, and district-level cultural heritage sites including Gothic-style Catholic churches and Shikumen architectural complexes. At night, the Bund transforms into a glittering spectacle with European-style buildings beautifully illuminated, while the bar street buzzes with energy.
