The low-key Ninghai County

By chance, I came to Ninghai County. As a native northerner, Ninghai is completely different from the county towns I had in mind. With its natural landscape of seven parts mountains, one part water, and two parts fields, the air is humid, and everywhere is lush and green, filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers. The faint scent of camphor and osmanthus permeates the entire city. :Scenery: I only visited Qiantong Ancient Town. Having visited some ancient towns before, what makes this one special is its lack of strong commercial atmosphere. It has a rich water system, with small streams and steps in front of every household, which were probably used for washing clothes and vegetables in the past. Here, every house has carved beams, and every household has running water. Walking on the stone-paved roads, you can hear the sound of flowing water. Open the window to see the river, open the door to see the bridge. Staying in a local B&B should be very beautiful and particularly quiet. Food: If you want to eat mountain delicacies, you can enjoy them to your heart's content. Local friends recommended us to Guoping Restaurant. Ninghai has both mountain and sea delicacies. The seafood has a light but very fresh taste. Maibing is a specialty, whether sweet or salty, it has a faint seafood flavor. It is said that there are also Razor Clam Festival, Jumping Fish Festival, Tourism Festival... and they just held a marathon. In 'Xu Xiake's Travel Notes', Ninghai is the starting point. There is Xiake Avenue, parks, etc. here. He should be the first-generation travel blogger, haha. In short, Ninghai County is an underrated city. The nationally renowned Deli Stationery is a local giant here. Not only is the economy strong, but tourism also has unique advantages, making it worth a day's stay to experience it carefully.
