A secluded haven surrounded by mountains, the natural oxygen bar of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai!

A secluded haven surrounded by mountains, the natural oxygen bar of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai!

The hotel is located near the Shenquan Hot Spring in Ninghai County, Ningbo, quite far from the city center. However, the hotel is nestled among the mountains, which are an integral part of the hotel itself. You can watch the sea of clouds from the mountaintop, soak in the hot springs at the mountain's base, and gaze at waterfalls from the foothills. Transportation My lobby is at the foot of the mountain, and the hotel offers free charging. Contact the hotel in advance with your arrival time, and they will send a shuttle to pick you up. Experience Every moment is spent enjoying the joy of oxygen-rich air. Upon reaching the mountaintop and looking down, you can see a picturesque sea of clouds and villas in the woods like those in a comic. The hotel rooms are scattered in an orderly fashion, blending seamlessly with the forest. The hotel provides basic shuttle services, night windows, and a rich variety of activities that change with the seasons. For example, this Dragon Boat Festival there was an activity for making handmade sachets, and there are also regular activities like calligraphy and incense seal carving. Guests also receive a complimentary travel photo shoot. Facilities The public areas are stylishly designed, and the restaurant and swimming pool are standard. It is recommended to visit them again after the lights are turned on at night. Without the direct sunlight, the atmosphere is quite pleasant. As it was the off-season, the room type I booked was upgraded two levels, from the Qishan Residence to the Bamboo Residence. Although it's not a standalone villa, the space is ample, and there's a large terrace. Looking out, you can see the mid-mountain scenery. Room The interior facilities are comprehensive. The entryway provides umbrellas and slippers, and the overall depth of the room is strong, with the terrace, living room, bedroom, and wardrobe all offering unobstructed views of the outside scenery through the bamboo curtains. The bathing amenities include a Guerlain set. The bathtub is spacious enough for two people to bathe together, and the hot spring water is piped directly into the room. Additionally, the room is equipped with aromatherapy, various types of cups, a mini bar, and a coffee machine.

I didn't expect such blue seas This time I went to Ningbo Ninghai with friends I didn't expect it to be really fun ✅Azure seas✅Delicious seafood✅Unique ancient architecture · Not only are there many ancient villages with a long history here, but also the beautiful seascapes of the Qiangjiao Archipelago, and you can go out to sea, which is worth a visit‼️ Check out this super detailed 2⃣️-day 1⃣️ itinerary below . 🚶 'My Itinerary' Day1⃣️. Qiantong Ancient Town - Oriental Art Museum - Day2⃣️. Longgong Village - Xiyousi Temple - Guangde Temple . 🚗 'About Transportation' Self-driving is more suitable, 1h from Ningbo city center, and not far from various attractions after getting off the highway. . 🚩 'About Check-in Spots' 1⃣️Qiantong Ancient Town An ancient town that seems to be forgotten by time, laid out according to the Bagua, with small bridges over flowing water. Chen Yifei's movie 'The Barber' was filmed here. 2⃣️Qiangjiao Town Here you can find a piece of azure sea, as if you've come to Jeju Island, watch a sunset along the coastline, and enjoy seafood, very pleasant. 3⃣️Guangde Temple A very beautiful temple, also an unexpected find, really photogenic. 4⃣️Xiyousi Temple You can drive directly up the mountain, climbing online you can see pagodas and Buddha statues, and also overlook the mountains, the place is not big, 1 hour is enough. 5⃣️Oriental Art Museum Exhibits various intangible cultural heritage traditional crafts and Ten Miles of Red Makeup utensils, the building itself is also worth checking in. · 🏨 'Accommodation Strategy' I stayed at the Ninghai Sheraton Hotel this time, not far from Ninghai High-speed Railway Station and the highway exit, and also not far from the various attractions we were going to. I think the environment is good. The entrance is an oriental-style waterscape and garden, reflecting the philosophical musings on 'mountains' at the beginning of 'Xu Xiake's Travel Notes', which coincides with the feeling this city gives me. Next to it is Tianming Lake Park, and you can also visit the park in the morning, quite comfortable. . 🍜 'Food Strategy' The seafood here is delicious, although there are not many types of seafood now, but there are also many choices, green crabs, grouper, various miscellaneous fish are all delicious. I recommend Caiyue Xuan Chinese Restaurant, their crab rice cake is so good. There are also Qiantong pancakes and various bean products which are local specialties. . If you feel tired from work, why not come to this comfortable seaside town for a visit! .

Yancang Mountain Tourist Area

Yancang Mountain Tourist Area

Yancang Mountain Scenic Area is located on the eastern slope of the Tiantai Mountain range, between Meilin, Shenquan, and Xidian towns in Ninghai County. It covers an area of about five square kilometers, 18 kilometers from the county seat, 11 kilometers from Nanxi Hot Spring Resort, 64 kilometers from Ningbo Airport, and 75 kilometers from Ningbo City. Yancang Mountain is divided into several parts: the entrance, Yanmen Ancient Path, Yancang Valley, and Jiulong Stream. Yancang Valley has five peaks: Tianguan, Yuping, Baidi, Xianglu, and Guanhai, surrounding a hundred-acre secluded valley, resembling a wild goose nest. The bamboo forest remains lush all year round, with caves and giant walls scattered throughout. Wild geese often come here to overwinter. Jiulong Stream converges at Zhushan, resembling a gathering of dragons. There are six waterfalls and nine dragon pools in the stream, with rainbows dancing under the scorching sun. In the three small areas of Yancang Valley—Xiaoxitian, Jixiang Temple, and Yanmen Ancient Path—there are nine qi holes, such as Yinyang Palm, where hot air rises in the cold winter and cool breezes blow in the hot summer. Taoists call it Ziyang Vital Energy, which can strengthen the body and prolong life. Practitioners regard it as a treasured place. Eight spring eyes, such as Qinxiquan, either emerge from the mountains or from caves, containing metasilicic acid and various trace elements, which can cure diseases like the three-flavored pure water of Buddhism. Pilgrims regard it as holy water.

Longgong Village, Ninghai: A Hidden Gem in Jiangsu and Zhejiang

While tourists flock to popular attractions, Longgong Village in Ninghai, Zhejiang, remains quietly hidden among the mountains and rivers, exuding an ancient charm. It is a seriously underrated tourist destination. Even if you've visited all the ancient villages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you'll still be amazed by Longgong Village. Clear springs, waterfalls, ancient houses, and ancient trees are interwoven, creating a picturesque scene like a paradise. There are few tourists in the village, and the original residents live leisurely. The small shop at the entrance of the village is one of the few commercial spots, creating a peaceful and pure atmosphere. It's perfect for a leisurely stroll and capturing beautiful moments. Longgong Village has a long history dating back to the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty. Legend has it that a dragon once lived in the deep pool south of the village. The pool water was as clear as a crystal palace, hence the village's name. Over time, this mystery has only deepened. The highlights of Longgong Village are not to be missed: Stroll along the cobblestone path of the ancient post road, and you'll reach the Dashie Waterfall. During the rainy season, the rushing water cascades down with a roar, creating a magnificent scene that touches the soul. The Chen Ancestral Hall is solemn and ancient, with traces of time on the stage and eaves. Standing on the stage, you can smell the history. The 400-year-old dragon tree has twisted roots resembling a dragon, next to a babbling stream. The photo atmosphere is perfect, and the photo rate is high. The stone path by the stream connects ancient buildings, and as you walk, it feels like time and space are intertwined. Every brick and stone whispers of the past. The crystal-clear pool water is like a natural treasure, with emerald waves that never dry up. Transportation is convenient. You can drive directly to Longgong Village, and parking is free. If you take public transportation, take the high-speed train to Ninghai Station, then transfer to Ninghai Bus 816. It takes about 1.5 hours to reach the village. The best part is that there's no entrance fee, making it a great value. Choose a leisurely day and head to Longgong Village for a peaceful time.
