Tianyi Pavilion is the oldest private collection of books. The building inside is very beautiful. The small yard is very comfortable to walk. The big sedan inside is very impressive. There is no door. When you use it, you must follow the sedan master at any time. Ctrip is convenient to book tickets, brush your ID card to enter at any time.
To travel to Ningbo, the first choice is Tianyi Pavilion, which is the oldest collection of books in China. We went in the afternoon. There were not many tourists. There were volunteers to explain to us. It was so wonderful and let us learn history. Tianyi Pavilion is still a beautiful garden.
Ningbo's Tianyi Pavilion is very famous. It is worth it. Parking in the center of Ningbo is relatively convenient. There is a large parking lot underground where you can park at will. It is just that you have to look for which exit when you come out, because he has many exits.
The only place worth visiting in Ningbo, personally feel that it is more cost-effective than Leifeng Tower. It is the same as the maze inside. It is easy to leak the landscape without careful turn. For example, Tianyi Pavilion is hidden in an inconspicuous corner. The back Yuehu Park is not going, just like the street park.
The inside is super big, more than 30,000 flat, the road idiot may get lost, it is recommended to ask for a scenic map in the visitor center in advance. The scenery is very beautiful, in the garden, and the squatting back to my own home hundreds of years ago.
I lived in Ningbo Atour on New Year's Eve~ I chose to go out for a trip during the Chinese New Year this year. I just came to Ningbo to eat from Huai'an air ticket special~ I have a buddy recommended this hotel to go anywhere. It is very convenient. I have already referenced the specific location. As shown in the picture, the staff here are each A service attitude is very good, making you feel more comfortable. Secondly, there are many interesting places here, such as charging on the table, smart curtains, smart water dispensers, small refrigerators, Dyson hair dryers, smart toilets, robots 🤖, password boxes and other facilities are also relatively complete, you can hold meetings, there are libraries, office areas, Gyms, laundry areas, etc., their home is not an ordinary laundry room, and the specific related facilities are reflected in the picture. Atour should be a chain hotel. They have many special products. Their bedding is really very comfortable and sleeps naked. I feel that coming to Ningbo to choose here is more comfortable, worry-free, at ease, and at ease in terms of location, facilities, environment, cost-effectiveness and all aspects. If I recommend it, I will feel that coming here is a better choice. If you have other good Ningbo accommodation hotels, welcome to send me a private message, I will try it.
If you have the opportunity to go, you must go. It is the favorite of several attractions in Ningbo. The museum is very large and the historical heritage is very sufficient. It takes about 1-2 hours to walk down according to the standard tour process. The souvenirs here such as refrigerator stickers are also good. The price is 30-40 yuan, but it is more exquisite.
Tianyi Pavilion is the aura of its private library on its body. The building is not colorful. It is a patchwork of semi-new and old buildings that are demolished. It is also the specifications of free parks in other places... But compared to the piles of broken bricks and tiles in Ningbo Museum, it is better. Ningbo said that it is the historical representative of Ningbo is even more funny, that is the history of Ningbo is dead there! The accumulation of bodies, history is touchable, appreciative, and close, who knows that the countdown to the eighth brick represents the era, the college? Touch it, it will cry!
