    To be honest, I don't know much about it; I just looked around, took some pictures of the architecture, and had high expectations, so I guess I was a little disappointed? It's acceptable, after all, protecting ancient books requires some effort from us.

    I don't understand... the advantage is mine! I never expected Xuedou Mountain and Chiang Kai-shek's former residence to be so close; truly a place blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery... Overall, each has its own charm, and if you have time, it would be nice to spend a day or two exploring them. The only downside is that the little train was under maintenance, forcing you to return the same way you came from all the attractions on Xuedou Mountain, which was a huge waste of time.

    Ningbo Romon Global Park has been open for over ten years. Its design is very similar to Landworld in South Korea, a large-scale indoor and outdoor theme park that's unaffected by cold, heat, or rain 🌪. There's no fancy IP or storyline here, just pure thrills and speed ⚡. Even if you're too short to ride the outdoor roller coasters, pendulum rides, or drop towers, there are affordable indoor alternatives 👍🏻. We got in at 4 PM on National Day, and for a full four hours, our 1.3-meter-tall child tried all the rides available for her, which was quite an experience! Cleared the park! 🔚 The most memorable ride was the "Poseidon Adventure," pure terror and thrill! 🤣 From the moment the staff quietly helped Tangtang (a nickname) tighten her raincoat and said, "Your bangs can't be hidden anymore," I knew something was wrong. It was like a creepy version of "River Rapids" 💦 The interior had some connection to Poseidon, but there was absolutely no interaction. There was more than one descent, one scare after another, stemming from both the eeriness of the surrounding environment and the uncertainty of which slope would end… Even though we were bundled up, we still ended up soaked! ‼️ Afterwards, I was completely dazed. 🫣 Those with a weak stomach should avoid this paid attraction, 10 yuan per ride (includes raincoat and shoe covers). I must say, Romon is quite generous.

    After many years, Xiangshan Film and Television City has been significantly improved, especially the car chase show in Game for Peace. It was truly breathtaking, and our front-row seats were incredibly immersive. It's a great place to bring both parents and children. We avoided the weekend to avoid crowds, and the experience was incredibly comfortable all day.

    There are both land and sea attractions, as well as horseback riding, sea bikes, a Ferris wheel, a large theater performance, and Genghis Khan (equestrian performance). The playability and entertainment are great.

    Ningbo's Old Bund, a place steeped in history and charm, comes alive at night. At night, the Old Bund, like dancers in lavish attire, comes alive in an instant. The atmosphere is truly stunning and photogenic, a must-see for anyone who's looking to take photos! The streets are bustling with people, and the food stalls are packed with people. The aroma of Ningbo's signature delicacies, such as oil-fried dumplings and sugar paintings, fills the air. Melodious singing drifts from the riverside bars, as the resident singers captivate us with their captivating melodies. We found a random bar, enjoying drinks and chatting with friends while listening to the elegant music. It was truly relaxing.

    The museum is relatively small and can be seen quickly, but it's combined with a bronze exhibit, so those interested can explore it more closely. The museum's exterior is also very beautiful. After your visit, you can buy some small souvenirs at the gift shop downstairs.

    Shipu Fishing Port Ancient Town is worth a visit! Strolling on the bluestone road built on the mountain, the ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered in an orderly manner, and the charm of time is everywhere. There are many exhibition halls in the city, which vividly display the fishing port culture. The seafood food is so fresh, and the fish balls and shrimp cakes are so delicious that you can't move your feet. When night falls, the fishing lights are lit, and the night view of the ancient port is beautiful. Any photo you take is a blockbuster. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of the thousand-year-old fishing port!

    - Must-see attractions: - Xiaoputuo: This is a popular attraction in Dongqian Lake. A long embankment extends to the center of the lake. The embankment is shaded by trees and the lakes on both sides are clear and sparkling. At the end is Xiayu Temple, where cigarettes are squatting, quiet and peaceful, many people come here to burn incense and pray. In this place, you can really feel the blend of nature and humanities, as if time has slowed down. - Hanling Old Street: The antique old street retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking on the stone road, you can see all kinds of traditional handicraft shops and special food stalls on the street. Here, you can taste authentic Ningbo cuisine, such as soft simmering numbness, sweet but not greasy rice buns, and enjoy exquisite wood carvings, bamboo and other handicrafts, and feel the rich historical and cultural heritage. - Ningbo Academician Center: The modern architecture and the beautiful lake view are perfectly integrated. Standing on the observation deck, the beautiful scenery of Dongqian Lake has a panoramic view, especially the net red tree, taking pictures with it as the background, every frame is very good, any shot is a blockbuster both visual sense, is a popular place for young people to punch in. - Food recommendation:- Qianhu River shrimp: shrimp meat is fresh and tender, simple and white to taste the original sweet, full of happiness at the entrance. - Steamed punk fish: the fish meat is delicate, steaming practice to the maximum extent to retain the fish's fresh taste, the soup is light and delicious, drink a soup, eat a mouthful of fish meat, super satisfied. - Hanling Ma: soft outer skin, rich in filling, sesame seeds, bean paste and other flavors to choose from, bite on, soft and sweet, excellent taste, is a local specialty snack, must not be missed. - Transportation guide: - Public transportation: From Ningbo city, you can take Metro Line 4 to "Dongqianhu Station", and then transfer to the bus at Exit A, such as 901, 907 to Xiaoputuo, 960 to Hanling Old Street, very convenient. - Self-driving: If you drive, pay attention to the easy congestion of the lake road during holidays. It is recommended to leave early, or park the car in the outlying parking lot such as the International Conference Center, brick and tile factories, and then transfer to the free shuttle bus to enter the scenic spot. - Avoiding pit guide: - staggered peak travel: There are a lot of tourists on weekends and holidays. If you want to enjoy a quiet play experience, it is recommended to go on weekdays. If you can only go on weekends, try to reach the scenic spot as early as possible to avoid the peak of the flow of people. - Be vigilant about "wild guides": There may be some "wild guides" soliciting customers at the entrance of the scenic spot, saying that they can take you to play at a low price, don't believe it, they may take you to some places where the charges are unreasonable. Choose a formal tour guide service or do a good job in advance of the guide self-service play. - Pay attention to sun protection: Dongqian Lake has strong ultraviolet rays on sunny days, and you must do a good job of sun protection measures, bring sun protection clothes, sunglasses, hats, etc., otherwise it is easy to get sunburnt. Dongqian Lake is really a treasure tourist destination, whether it is natural scenery or humanistic landscape is worth savoring. Whether it is traveling with family, friends or alone, you can get a good memory, I highly recommend everyone to play!
