May 18, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

Ningbo (Chinese: 宁波; Mandarin pronunciation: [nǐŋ pwó] ( listen)), formerly written Ningpo, is a sub-provincial city in northeast Zhejiang province in China. It comprises the urban districts of Ningbo proper, three satellite cities, and a number of rural counties including islands in Hangzhou Bay and the East China Sea. Its port, spread across several locations, is among the busiest in the world and the municipality possesses a separate state-planning status. As of the 2010 census, the entire administrated area had a population of 7.6 million, with 3.5 million in the six urban districts of Ningbo proper. To the north, Hangzhou Bay separates Ningbo from Shanghai; to the east lies Zhoushan in the East China Sea; on the west and south, Ningbo borders Shaoxing and Taizhou respectively.

Tianyi Library

Reviewed By ChooH60

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.

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

China Port Museum

Reviewed By Irish_Dave_T2014 - Ningbo, China

This was an excellent museum. Unlike one of the other reviewers, I would actually recommend making a trip here from downtown Ningbo. There is a DoubleTree by Hilton about 5 minutes walk away, and a few other attractions (a good artificial beach and an overpriced "Ice and Snow World"). Large with lots to see. My two young sons (5 and 9) were fully occupied. Due to COVID-19: Remember to bring a mask and your ID.
