✏️【Travel Tips】
✅Nantang Old Street is not far from the train station, you can walk there, it is recommended as the last stop before catching the train
✅About eating, there are too many, can't eat all, personally think you can try a few that you have never tried before, others are more or less the same. Also, you can try the ones where local people line up.
✅About buying, Three Guan Six Wharf sells Ningbo specialties, there are online stores, I roughly searched, if you only buy one, it seems cheaper in the store, but if you buy more than 2-3, it may still be cheaper online, everyone compare for themselves.
Nantang Old Street
There are many amazing ningbo gifts to purchase, and many good locations for taking photos.
This old street, called "South Gate Three City" by the old Ningbo people, is an ancient street with a special commercial atmosphere. Some parts of Nantang Old Street are still being repaired and built. Most of the old alleys that welcome guests retain the characteristics of Jiangnan Town during the Republic of China. The wind and rain corridors and octagonal pavilions are very impressive. In addition, the small river next to the street adds a little fun and beauty to the old street.
Ningbo Nantang Old Street is still quite distinctive, each selling things are different, many tastes that you can find there when you are young, such as sugar cakes in the photo, which taste exactly the same as when you were young.
A street with cultural customs, it is worth seeing.
The attractions are completely free, so I point out that the price-performance ratio is 5 C. But food and drink are expensive, twice as expensive as downtown prices, and the Korean restaurant has closed. The tour route is very simple. It's a rectangle to and fro, not a turnaround. In the difficult square of Ningbo Railway Station or Metro Station, it takes 10 minutes to start navigation. There are more buses on the road.
Ancient architectural style is full of Ningbo snacks, full of nostalgia of Jiangnan Waterfront. You will never forget it when you go! Nantang Old Street in Ningbo is a commercial district with historical and cultural characteristics, which integrates historical sites, tourism, cultural leisure, Ningbo's old brands, Ningbo's famous specialties and folk customs. There are many old-fashioned and characteristic snacks in Ningbo, such as Wufengtang in Ninghai, Yellow croaker noodles in Yuyao, Four Seasons Fragrant New Year Cake in Cicheng, bean crisp sugar in Cixi, Fenghua beef noodles in Fenghua, sixteen wontons in Dongqianhu Lake, Quanfengji in Yinzhou, and bookstores and specialty stores, which are really the necessary places for leisure, entertainment and sightseeing.
I went shopping three years ago in the evening, and I went again this afternoon when I was free. In addition to the original North Street, South Street has been expanded to a number of lengths. It is estimated that it has recently been completed, so some stores should not be opened and there are fewer people than North Street. Compared with the old Ningbo flavor of North Street, such as traditional snacks such as oil sauce, Xikou Thousand Layer Cakes, Tangyuan and other local characteristics snack shops, the expanded South Street has tea houses, cafes, Western restaurants, etc., which are less expensive. Tired of shopping, sit in a chair by the river, the surrounding environment is good. Baidu found that the distance from Ningbo Station is less than 2 km, simply walk to the station to catch the high-speed rail!
