Stumbling Upon Ningbo's Little "Altay" – The Wild Romance on the City's Edge

Here’s Your 2-Day, 1-Night Dongqian Lake Guide! 🤩 This time at Dongqian Lake, I discovered a hidden gem of a hotel— Ningbo International Conference Center Wanglan Hotel. It made our two-day, one-night trip absolutely packed with fun! ✅ Park Right Outside the Hotel The moment we stepped out of the car, we were amazed by the vast green lawn beside the hotel— like stumbling into a mini "Altay." Perfect for picnics, camping, and photos 📸, with occasional egrets flying by. ✅ Hundred-Acre Lotus Pond In the heart of summer, you can admire endless lotus blooms right next to the hotel. The second-floor terrace offers a great view of the lotus flowers— serene and beautiful. A sunset stroll along the pond is pure summer vibes~ 🏠 Jianxie Village Taolu Block & Academician Center Just a short distance from the hotel is Jianxie Village Taolu Block, filled with unique little shops. Don’t miss the famous Academician Center nearby, where you can soak in the rich cultural atmosphere and distinctive architectural aesthetics. 🌊 Red-and-White Lighthouse & The Lonely Tree The red-and-white lighthouse and the lonely tree by Dongqian Lake are must-visit spots. The lighthouse stands by the lake, mirroring the shimmering waters, while the lonely tree on the shore has a unique, poetic beauty— super photogenic! 🍰 Hotel Afternoon Tea & Conference Center After exploring, head back to the hotel and enjoy a refined afternoon tea in the lobby lounge. The conference center’s stunning architecture and play of light and shadow are also worth capturing— a perfect blend of modern design and natural beauty. 🏨 Stay: Ningbo International Conference Center Wanglan Hotel Spacious, comfortable rooms with thoughtful service. 🚗 Transportation: Driving is recommended—plenty of parking at the hotel. This 2-day, 1-night trip to Dongqian Lake lets you enjoy both natural scenery and cultural charm.
