Ningbo - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
Oh, my, yes. Hiking, bike riding trails abound. This area is a photographer's dream. Mountain top parks, temples, the oldest library in China, Tantoushan Island for camping, Putoushan Island for hiking, exploring. Suzhou is near by, with its water towns. Ancient villages are all over the place. The best shopping the world has to offer is all over Ningbo now, and Shanghai is a mere three hours by bus for long, exciting weekend adventures. The expat community really does some great planning for excursions and celebratory events. I just wish I could have stayed in Ningbo forever. - Aug 2014
