[2025 Ningbo Hotels] Travel Guide for Morland Hot Spring Hotel(Ningbo Chunxiao ） (Updated Aug)

When the weather is nice, it's the perfect time to go out and take photos. Located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Zhengyang Zen Temple is a serene spot worth visiting. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Ningbo city center via the highway, or roughly an hour if you avoid the highway. There's a free parking area 🅿️ outside the temple, and it's not crowded at all. Even before entering, you'll be captivated by the temple's golden tiles and yellow walls. Dubbed Ningbo's "Little Temple of Heaven," it truly lives up to its reputation as a photogenic spot 📷. If you're lucky enough to catch the pigeons taking flight, your photos will be even more stunning. Unfortunately, I waited for quite a while but didn't get to see them fly—haha! If you're like me and enjoy less crowded, off-the-beaten-path photography locations, then you definitely shouldn't miss this place. Additionally, the temple also serves as a quiet retirement home, so please be mindful not to disturb the elderly residents. 📍 Location: Zhengyang Zen Temple, Beilun District

The gentle sea breeze carries a hint of saltiness, softly brushing against your cheeks. 📍Address: Meishan Bay Chunxiao Lake Camping Base, Ningbo 🚗Travel Time: About 1-hour drive from Ningbo city center 🅿️Parking: 🆓 Free parking available 💡Other Activities: Fishing, feeding pigeons, BBQ, karaoke, bonfire parties (water activities might be added later) ⌛️Fees: You can rent a canopy or order BBQ packages separately (beef is air-shipped from Inner Mongolia and tastes great). The portion sizes are decent. According to the owner, you can book team-building events, and they will organize various fun activities. ⚠️Note: The camping area is almost mosquito-free, but the other recreational zones behind it may have mosquitoes, so be prepared with repellents. The camping area is mostly shaded by large trees, so it’s not too sunny. The tents are almost directly by the lake without barriers, so keep an eye on children if you bring them along. This place is truly a fail-proof choice. The first time I visited was at night, enjoying hotpot inside the tents. The twinkling lights created an amazing atmosphere. The second time was during a scorching 40°C afternoon, but surprisingly, it was cool here, likely due to its proximity to the sea and the constant breeze combined with lush vegetation. One of the best aspects of this place is its lack of excessive commercialization, making it perfect for relaxing and unwinding.

🌴 Dongpanshan, often referred to as the "Little Wugong Mountain of Eastern Zhejiang," offers stunning views of the sea and wind turbines from its ridge. The small loop trail spans approximately 7 kilometers with an elevation gain of around 500 meters. 🌾 Starting from Hangzhou, it takes about 3 hours to reach the trailhead. From there, the hike begins, passing by several small streams and waterfalls. After about 2 hours, you'll reach the ridge, where you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery, take photos, and walk along the undulating ridge path. 🌻 The descent can be slippery, but by around 4 PM, you'll arrive back at the base. The starting and ending point features a reservoir with crystal-clear, emerald-green water that leaves hikers in awe. 🚘 Route: Navigate to the Shangchemen Village Cultural Hall, which has restrooms nearby. 🏝 Recommended Activities: Small loop trail, alpine meadows, wind turbines, and distant sea views. ⭐ Difficulty Level: Two stars, 7 km, 500 m elevation gain. ⛺ Gear: Hiking shoes, trekking poles, gloves. ✔️ Tips: The descent is steep and slippery, especially on rainy days. Some sections have dense vegetation, so ensure full-body protection.

Spring mornings have a magical charm—they come with a natural relaxation buff. No matter how stressed you are, being here seems to ease your nerves. Does anyone else feel the same way? Living here has truly boosted my happiness! Stepping outside to see such beautiful scenery is incredibly healing. This area is super convenient for casual outings. The parking lot is very close, and there are restaurants, cafes, barbecue spots, and even boating options. Kids can play freely on the lawn, enjoy the free mini slides, or go fishing. It's perfect for family trips where everyone stays engaged. You can also set up tents for camping just a little further away. Come visit on sunny days!

Is there no blue sea near the coast of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai? You can see the blue sea at a series of locations in Meishan Bay in Beilun District, Ningbo. Other landscapes are also very nice. Since some roads are internal roads, cycling to enjoy the scenery is the most suitable choice! Location: Near Meishan Hongqiao, Chunxiao Street, Beilun District, Ningbo City (near the route to China Port Museum by searching on the navigation) 🏞Scenery: Mainly a combination of sea view, wetland park and other landscapes. You can see the Red Bridge from a distance in Mingyue Lake Park. The colors and structure of the Meishan Red Bridge are very nice on a sunny day. There is a small beach under the bridge on the west bank. It is free, but there are many people and you can't go into the sea. It's also nice to look at the shore from the bridge. The Meishan Wetland Park on Meishan Island has reed marshes and cabins in the lake. There are basically no people and the scenery is quiet. You can see the sunset and the west bank from the road on the east side of Meishan Bay. There is a high ship lock in the South Dam of Meishan Bay. You can see the lighthouse, the pier and other beautiful scenery in all directions. It is also very pleasant to blow the sea breeze. The west end of the South Dam of Meishan Bay is the closed Yangsha Mountain Scenic Area, which is a good place to go to the sea! ♦️Notes: Because there are few shared bicycles near Chunxiao, it is best to have your own bicycle for riding. If you don’t have a bicycle, you can search for KFC on the west side of Meishan Hongqiao, or find shared bicycles in the business district near KFC. The whole ride and play takes about 2 hours, and it is free except for the beach park.
