An ancient stage, half a local history—Aohu Hu's Ancestral Hall Ancient Stage

I highly recommend friends who love ancient architecture and opera elements to take a trip to Ninghai, to visit the hometown of Chinese opera, and explore a 'wordless article'. Trust me, just take one step, and it will be worth the journey. Here's a guide for reference: ✓ Stage Location: Located in Ninghai County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province (Navigation: Aohu Hu's Ancestral Hall Ancient Stage) Ninghai 7 Ningbo ✓ Tickets: Free, but you need to contact the cultural relic keeper on the sign at the door to open it (or consult the village committee), and it's best not to visit during others' meal times or rest periods ✓ Highlights: Triple algae well, split work, and dougong wood carvings ✓ Surroundings: Ninghai County has ten national-level ancient stage buildings, hot spring forest parks, Yancang Mountain, Jiulong Temple, and historical and cultural ancient villages (such as Longgong Village) ✓ Transportation: It is recommended to drive or charter a car, as the stages are scattered in various villages, and local public transportation is not very convenient ✓ Suggestions: Stay a little longer, if time permits, you can choose to come during folk activities, and then take more photos that you will reminisce about later ✓ Strongly Suggested: Before coming, you can learn about the historical background or architectural style of these stages, as well as some basic knowledge of local opera. Then, connect more with the locals, perhaps they can tell you some interesting old news or guide you to a deeper visit of the ancient stages
