An ancient library turns into museum, this place is so calm and peaceful. Best to go during off peak season as it will be extremely crowded.

Went there with a friend, it's a gentle walk to the temple, tree lined road history says the monk that build it prayed for something to happen to move the heavy tree trunks from the forest to the area. A rain followed the place closed and the trunks were used to build the temple. This place has everything, temples, monks, history, a big pagoda, an ancient tree, 2 lakes with huge fish living in it, and an original temple of 1700 years old which is hidden in the forest. Local hawkers for street food which is great, and shopping stalls including a couple selling 100% local pure honey!

We went in the middle of the week and it was pretty empty. Absolutely beautiful nature and a great break from city life.

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

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.
