Qiantong Ancient Town | The Little Lijiang of the South
Qiantong Ancient Town may not be as famous as Wuzhen or Xitang, but it is very well-preserved and is known as the Little Lijiang of the South. The scenic area is not very commercialized, and the few restaurants there are similarly priced and not expensive. The 'Three Treasures of Qiantong' refer to three ways of eating tofu (stinky tofu, hollow tofu, and dried tofu), which are the local specialty foods.
☑️ Located in Ninghai County, it takes half an hour to 40 minutes to get there by taxi from the main urban area. Qiantong Ancient Town has a complete set of Ming and Qing architectural complexes and is the largest settlement of the Tong surname in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a town with the ancient charm of Confucian culture. In 2007, it was awarded the title of China's Historical and Cultural Famous Town.
☑️ tips: The ticket is 50 yuan per person, and after 5 pm, you can enter without a ticket 🎫. However, many shops close in the evening, which might make it a bit quiet. But the night view with the lights is still nice. Do not wander into the alleys, as it is easy to get lost.
☑️ Here, 'every family has carved beams, and every household has running water'.
It's like an ancient rural painting with a strong charm, a beautiful and moving piece of Jiangnan silk music. Ancient relics such as Xiaonv Lake, Miao Lake, Zhisi Hall, Scholar's Bridge, and Nangong Temple still exist today. The Tong family ancestral hall designed by Fang Xiaoru at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty is still largely intact. At night, you can hear the elderly singing and playing the piano 🎹, a lively talent show that brings the ancient town to life.
☑️ The old street of the ancient town is flanked by shops with long plank doors. Adjacent to the old street is a group of ancient buildings that are still intact to this day, with exquisitely carved beams, doors, and windows. The leaping fish and horse head walls, as well as the ridge-sculpted wall flowers, have a unique local style. The horse head wall is a symbol of the power of the ancient wealthy families and officials in the south of the Yangtze River; it is said that the more tiers, the higher the position. There are also many homestays here, where you can stay for a day to experience the local customs.

Family, who knows! Zhejiang's Da Ninghai is just too beautiful!
After a recent trip back to my hometown in Sanmen, I found out that taking a taxi from Sanmen to Qiantong in Ninghai is only a few dozen yuan, so I took the opportunity to have a two-day tour of Ninghai.🚗
This trip was really worth it, I discovered so many hidden gems.🎉🎉🎉
The first stop was the coffee shop by the seaside in Qiangjiao Town, called Folk Uncle, right by the sea, with a super beautiful view!😎😎😎
The second stop was Guangde Temple, which is a temple with a bit of Tang Dynasty style, not the bright yellow exterior walls, but white wooden structures, very large, but the main entrance is currently not accessible, remember to go through the east gate!🙏🙏🙏
The third stop was Qiantong Ancient Town, the filming location for the movie 'The Barber', where you can capture the whole panorama without a drone, just by going up the hill opposite.🎥🎥🎥
The fourth stop was the seaside highway in Qiangjiao Town, which is the 'Little Jeju Island' mentioned online, where you can see the seascape along the road.🛣️🛣️🛣️
The fifth stop was the Sheraton Ninghai, where the outdoor seating for afternoon tea has a backdrop of several tall buildings, really stylish!😜😜😜

The Sheraton that tops my heart!
The Sheraton that tops my heart
The Ninghai Sheraton that opened this year has simply broken the mold of traditional Sheratons
The Ninghai Sheraton is less than a 10-minute drive from Ninghai Station
Adjacent to the Tianming Lake Hotel's backyard, it provides direct access to the park, and there are many attractions around the hotel
Driving into the hotel, you first pass through a garden landscape designed by CCD Hong Kong Zheng Zhong Office. As you enter the lobby, the over 10-meter high ceiling is stunning. The solid hardware and decor make this Ninghai Sheraton particularly memorable
This time, I stayed in an Executive Lake View Suite. The room is very spacious, decorated with wood colors matched with brass, creating a low-key yet luxurious echo. The living room and bedroom both have large balconies, allowing you to see the lake view and hotel garden landscape without leaving the room, instantly filling you with a holiday vibe. The bathroom and bathtub are also exceptionally outstanding
The hotel lobby has a coffee bar & afternoon tea. Passing through the lobby bar, there is a large outdoor terrace. On the lower first floor, there is an indoor oversized swimming pool and a 24-hour gym. The swimming pool is much larger than those in other hotels and also has a hot spring pool. There are meeting rooms and various types of restaurants available
Whether it's a weekend family trip or a couple's getaway, I highly recommend this hotel as a great choice. The hotel also has 7 villa room types, suitable for any group with different travel needs

Xujia Moutain Stone Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Evoking a wealth of childhood memories—the Xu Family Stone Village
Every building is constructed from stone, and for those who grew up in a stone house, the feeling is profound, with the architecture being warm in winter and cool in summer.
Now, the Stone Village, like most ancient villages, is primarily inhabited by elderly residents who have stayed behind, and the village is filled with many old buildings. The village still retains its old-time appearance, with no significant tourism development; stone bridges, stone houses, stone terraces, stone alleys... Over 700 years of history, the basalt has slowly changed from a bluish-gray to a bronze color. The residents live their days calmly, with a strong sense of life.
Stone Village tips:
🌸 Half an hour's drive from Ninghai city center, about one and a half hours from Ningbo. You can navigate to Xujia Mountain Tongban Stone Farm, and cars can be driven to the entrance of the ancient village.
🌸 Admission is free
🌲 There is a parking lot, but it is far from the ancient village, and you need to walk through terraced fields and a sea of flowers, but there are no flowers now, and the scenery is not good.
🌸 Nearby dining and accommodation:
🌲 There are several farmhouses nearby with decent taste.
🌲 Inside the square, there is Ninghai's special wheat cake that can also satisfy hunger.
🌲 There are homestays, RVs, and tents available nearby.
BRENNAN FERNANDEZ
You must go once, this ancient village secret realm that has been beautiful for 700 years
Walking through the stone slab lanes of the ancient mountain village that has gone through more than 700 years, the world built by this basalt stone in front of you is simple, primitive and natural, still maintaining the appearance of hundreds of years ago, as if traveling through time and space to a certain year, month and day of the Song and Yuan dynasties. --
The stone walls, stone windows, stone roads, stone bridges, stone lanes, stone wells, and stone mills in the ancient village are everywhere, but what attracts my eyes is the Ye's ancestral hall by the side of a pool of clear water. The descendants of Ye Mengding, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, came here to avoid the war at the end of the Song Dynasty, and now the Xujiashan Stone Village originated from here. This original ecological stone village hidden in the mountains without commercialization is different from the others, super characteristic, worth checking in.
