Gulou

I visited during Chinese New Years with a local :) #yearofrabbit. He showed me around and we grabbed a cup of coffee at the underground shopping mall. Definitely worth a visit!

At the top of the Ningbo Drum Tower in Gulou you’ll find a Year of the rabbit art showcase. It’s open until 5pm daily and features 9 local artists. The art space is small but thankfully it wasn’t too busy when we went. The art was really beautiful and each artist has a very unique style. We were able to walk through the gallery and see each piece of art in under 20 minutes. Its a quick stop but a must see if you’re in Ningbo celebrating Lunar New Year! #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #china
