Ningbo Museum

Reviewed By Synthomer - Shanghai, China

An eye catching and unusual - and successful - building set in a small park. The exhibits largely centre on local history (there was also a good one on Xinjiang) but there is plenty of it in Ningbo which has always been an important port and played an important role for most of Chinese history. The exhibits are beautifully and clearly displayed. There is quite a lot of English but not everything is translated but, unless you are a devotee, this doen't really matter. About 6km from the city centre, a RMB 20 taxi ride but definitely worth the detour, if you are in Ningbo. There is a small cafe on the roof

Ningbo Drum Tower Complex

Reviewed By alanlebras - Monce-en-belin, France

This building is the main heritage landmark in downtown Ningbo. It is fully open to the public. There is a commercial street at the back, not very authentic though.

Nantang Old Street

Reviewed By rhisag - San Juan Capistrano, United States

I have read a few other reviews about Nantang. No, it’s not old. So what? It’s beautiful. The architecture, plants, design, shops, food, facilities are great. The food aisle vendors provide diverse samples of local ingredients and the top rated dumpling store in Ningbo. We sampled so many great items: black bamboo ice cream, duria ice cream, stinky tofu, amazing soup crab dumplings, hemp crackers, etc. The shops offer some hand made Chinese goods, clothes, etc. A great way to get a sample of China in about 2 hours of leisurely strolling along a quant river.
