Ningbo · 1.3km from downtown

2.7k reviews

The Old Bund is located in Sanjiangkou, the center of Ningbo, and its history begins 20 years before that of the Bund in Shanghai. Today, the Old Bund still retains a large number of beautiful old European-style buildings, most of which have been converted into bars and restaurants, forming a leisure area with a very distinct atmosphere and becoming one of the primary attractions in Ningbo. It is quiet here during the day, with visitors in twos and threes strolling around the street and examining the old buildings. In the evening, the street becomes very lively, and the sound of music wafts out of the various bars. Lovers walk along the river and admire the charming night of Sanjiangkou in a romantic evening getaway. In the summer, the Li River is also a nice place to escape the heat for a while.

Dongqian Lake

Ningbo · 15.3km from downtown

1.9k reviews

Dongqian Lake is located in the southeastern suburbs of Ningbo, with an area three to four times larger than Hangzhou's West Lake. However, the lakeshore has been developed with various attractions that require an extra charge, making it seem slightly more commercialized by comparison. To enjoy the beauty of Dongqian Lake, you can pay to enter the attractions, while younger visitors often prefer cycling around the lake, taking in the scenery and photos for a delightful experience. Scattered along Dongqian Lake are multiple attractions such as Xiaoputuo, Dongqian Lake Taogong Island attraction, Dongqian Lake Fuquan Mountain attraction, Southern Song Dynasty stone carvings heritage park, and Youngor Zoo, along with some natural villages and small parks. People usually spend a weekend day or two visiting a few places of interest rather than touring all the attractions. There are several bus routes around Dongqian Lake that provide convenient access to almost all major attractions. Top attractions: Xiaoputu is a long causeway in the lake and a highly popular attraction at Dongqian Lake. You can take electric bikes directly to the waterborne Guanyin, but it's more recommended to walk along the causeway and enjoy the scenery of Dongqian Lake. Crossing the bridge from Xiaoputu leads to the Tao Gong Island attraction on the west side of Dongqian Lake, a local hotspot for barbecues and ideal for group activities like team building. Travelers with limited time need not make a special trip to visit. If you're bringing kids, Ningbo Wildlife Park on the north side of Dongqian Lake is a great choice. In addition to adorable animals, they can enjoy amusement rides like the merry-go-round and bumper cars. Dongqian LakeExploring the hidden: Dongqian Lake's attractions suitable for exploration are concentrated along East Ring Lake Road. The Southern Song Dynasty stone carving ruins park by the lakeside contains the tombs of five Southern Song Dynasty prime ministers. In addition to the grand tomb paths and stone archways, there are over 200 lifelike stone statues. The museum within the park outlines the history of the Southern Song Dynasty and the development of stone carving, and also displays many stone artifacts from surrounding areas, making it worth savoring in detail. Not far to the south lies the Fuquan mountain with vast tea fields, offering a pleasant view. During the peak season, you can also enjoy tea at the tea house on the mountain. Private vehicles are not allowed inside. At the ticket checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, there is a bus going uphill, but it only departs when full. During the off-peak season, the wait can be quite long, so be mentally prepared. If you choose to hike up the mountain, it takes approx. 1 hour. RidingDongqian Lake: Besides visiting attractions, cycling around Dongqian Lake is a highly popular activity, allowing travelers to leisurely enjoy the lakeside scenery and natural villages. There are dedicated bike lanes along the lake, and the attraction officially recommends cycling routes suitable for different groups. Bike stations are available at the traveler center, the southern water park, Mashan Wetland, and the northern Ningbo Wildlife Park, offering various types of bike rentals. In addition, there are multiple docks around the lake, featuring water buses, rowing boats, and speedboating, enabling round-trip rides to lakeside attractions or private cruises around Dongqian Lake.
