The well-photographed self-driving route to Dongqian Lake

Guojiazhi: Navigate to "Guojiazhi Village" by self-driving, there is free parking; walking to the lakeside are all coffee shops along the lake, recommended: chill coffee, cookiii coffee 2. Dongqian Lake Water Park South Bank Parking Lot (Ningbo Little California): Free within 30 minutes, 10 yuan/time for more than 30 minutes. The parking lot itself is a small attraction and the starting point of Line 1 of the Lake Tour Bus (the end point is Hanling); 3. Yifan Hotel: Seaside lawn & lighthouse, parking for 5 yuan within half an hour; super beautiful, the lighthouse is on the left side of the hotel 4. Hanling Art Museum (not yet opened): designed by Kengo Kuma, not yet opened, the appearance is very special 5. International Lake House (Ningbo Little Switzerland): There is a small forest opposite the house with a great sunset; I didn’t go there due to time constraints 6. Hanling Old Street: snacks + dinner, underground parking lot is free for 30 minutes, 5 yuan/time. 📝Tips: 1. Lake Ring Line 1: 8:30-17:00, 15 yuan/person/trip, get off and then get on twice, you can hail and get on at any time. There are 5 stations in total, round trip from Nan'an to Hanling, every 10 minutes. During holidays, the route is extended to "International Lake House"; 2. It depends on the traffic situation. If there is no traffic jam, you can leave Nan'an within half an hour, drive to Yifan Hotel, then drive to Hanling Old Street, and walk to Hanling Art Museum and International Lake House (1.7 kilometers). If the traffic is serious, just stay at the South Bank and take the sightseeing bus and walk.
