After four days of suffering in Ningbo, I have returned and I want to tell you the truth.

Only when you come to Ningbo can you say that this city is a music box that can perform magic! In the morning, there is the glutinous smell of rice cakes, at noon, it turns into the old days of blue bricks and black tiles, and at night it switches to a neon theater with the smell of seafood✨ 🚴‍♀️The private route of the cycling party Don’t crowd at the gate of Dongqian Lake Scenic Area! The navigation set "Hanling Old Street Parking Lot". After passing through the reed marsh, I suddenly encountered the morning fog covering the lake. I rented a shared electric bike to ride around the lake (Qingju has the longest battery life). The S-shaped curves were used to take videos with a cinematic feel. 💡Fun fact: It’s super beautiful to ride against the light at 4pm. Remember to wear light-colored sun-protective clothing. The river breeze will help you blow your hair into an atmospheric style. I picked up wild mulberries here last week. They were so sour that I grimaced, but the boatman gave me a bayberry candy. 🏺Civilization Critical Strike The Hemudu Site Museum is ten times more shocking than you might imagine! Standing in the stilt building restoration area, ⚠️Avoid the pitfall: Don’t buy the 20 yuan imitation pottery jars at the door! The museum's cultural and creative store sells the same black pottery cup + rice ear bookmark set for 38 yuan Here, I was treated as a tour guide by a primary school student, and I had to learn about the "pig pattern pottery bowl" for half an hour. 😂 🦀Survival rules in the vegetable market There are seafood blind boxes hidden in Nantang Old Street! Look for the stall owner wearing a blue apron. The drunken mud snails, which cost 20 yuan per serving, are marinated in rice wine for 48 hours. They are so delicious that you will feel your head soar. 🍜Hidden way to eat it: Ask the grandma who sells seaweed rice cakes for a spoonful of crab paste, mix it into the rice cakes and it will instantly turn into a seafood cheese drawing effect I learned three tricks to choose red crabs: the crab shell is red, the crab legs are elastic, and the crab navel is triangular, which is the most plump. 🌳Garden version of Inception Ningbo Garden Museum is a paradise for architecture lovers! The tiled wall is matched with a mirrored pool. Standing on the second-floor terrace to take silhouette photos, you can instantly get the feeling of the bamboo forest in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon🎋 💡Secret angle: At 3 pm, the sun shines obliquely on the yellow wood fragrance flower stand. A man in Hanfu walks by holding an oil-paper umbrella. Even the cleaning lady takes out her phone to take pictures. I met a couple taking wedding photos last week. The moment the white veil floated across the blue brick wall was like traveling through a thousand years. 🌌Night Tour Reverse Operation Guide Don’t take the 188 yuan Sanjiang Night Cruise! At 8pm, I strolled to the back of the Old Bund Catholic Church and took the Minsheng Ferry for 35 yuan to go back and forth, and also saw the bright lights 🌉 🍹Bonus: There is a mobile coffee cart at the terminal. Order the "Ningbo Night Scenery" special drink and get a luminous cup holder. It is more photogenic to hold it up and take photos than a selfie stick. My bestie's sun hat was blown away by the river wind, but she unexpectedly received a lot of laughter and three WeChat friend requests 😂 📦 Travel First Aid Kit Checklist • Anti-slip Crocs: Fish Scale Dam slate is smoother than Dove • Folding stool: Waiting for the sunset to instantly kill the envious eyes of the audience • Mini mosquito repellent: The mosquitoes near the rice fields are as powerful as fighter jets • Waterproof phone bag: a must-have for raft surfing and rainbow photography🌈 • Emergency power bank: 20000 mAh with lanyard is recommended, which is suitable for riding and taking photos The embarrassing incident of falling into Dongqian Lake while wearing flip-flops last year is still being told as a joke by the B&B owner Ningbo is like a bowl of rice wine meatballs, which tastes sweet at first and becomes slightly intoxicating after a while. The pottery fragments of Hemudu are the top notes, the ink fragrance of Tianyi Pavilion is the middle note, and what remains on the tip of the tongue is always the smoke and fire of Nantang Old Street, and the gentleness dancing with the old city wall and neon lights.
