Sanjiangkou Ecological Park: The Beauty That Was Lost

Sanjiangkou Park is a landmark attraction in Ningbo, located at the confluence of the Yuyao River, Fenghua River, and Yong River. It boasts both natural scenery and a modern urban atmosphere. The following is a travel guide compiled for you, covering beautiful scenery, delicious food, fun recommendations, and affordable accommodations, suitable for travelers on a budget. --- ### **[Scenic Spots]** 1. **Sanjiangkou Confluence Viewing Platform** - The core area of the park offers a clear view of the spectacular confluence of the three rivers. At dusk, the setting sun reflects on the river, making it perfect for taking pictures. - **Open for free**. It is recommended to go at dusk, as the night view is even more beautiful after the lights are turned on. 2. **The Bund Historic District** - About 1 km from the park, it is Ningbo's earliest European-style building complex. The bars and cafes are lit up at night, making it a great place for a stroll. - There are many retro buildings along the river, which can be visited for free. Some small shops offer stamps for souvenirs. 3. **Yong River Bridge Night View** - The bridge's lights change, and you can capture the dazzling urban night view from the riverbank in the park or on the bridge. Cool breezes often blow in summer. 4. **Shanshan Wetland Park (Nearby)** - If you have enough time, you can take a 10-minute taxi ride (approx. CNY 15).

The sesame filling is sweet, fragrant, and soft. CNY 20 per person. 3. **Nantang Old Street Snacks** - About 10 minutes by taxi, a concentration of traditional Ningbo snacks: - **You Zan Zi** (dough twist, sweet and savory flavors, CNY 15/bag) - **Cicheng Rice Cake** (try fried rice cake or rice cake dumplings, CNY 10–20) 4. **Food Stall Late-Night Snack** - **Baisha Wharf Seafood Food Stall** (1.5 km from the park), CNY 50–80 per person, recommended: stir-fried sea snails with scallion oil and salt-baked razor clams. --- ### **[Fun Experiences]** 1. **Sanjiang Night Cruise** - Tickets are about CNY 80 per person (discounts may be available if you buy tickets online in advance). The voyage lasts 1 hour, and the night light show is worth seeing. 2. **Ningbo Art Museum (Free)** - Located on the Bund, the building was designed by Pritzker Prize winner Wang Shu. Closed on Mondays, suitable for art lovers. 3. **Cycling Along the Riverside Greenway** - There are shared bikes in the park. You can cycle along the Yong River to Ningbo Bookstore (about 3 km). There are several rest stops and viewing platforms along the way. --- ### **[Affordable Accommodation Recommendations]** 1. **Ningbo Maple Forest Night Youth Hostel** - Location: Near the Bund, about 15 minutes' walk to Sanjiangkou. - Price: Bed: CNY 50–80/night, double room: about CNY 150, cozy atmosphere, suitable for backpackers. 2. **Hanting Hotel (Tianyi Square Branch)** - Location: 1.5 km from the park, convenient for dining and shopping. - Price: About CNY 180–220/night in the off-season. The hygiene of chain hotels is guaranteed. 3. **Nanyuan E Family Ningbo (Economy)** - Location: Near Chenghuang Temple, direct subway access to Sanjiangkou. - Price: Within CNY 200, including breakfast, cost-effective. --- ### **[Tips]** - **Transportation**: Take Subway Line 2 to "Bund Bridge Station" around the park. Taxi rides between attractions in Ningbo city generally do not exceed CNY 20. - **Best Season**: Spring and fall (March–May, September–November), avoid the high temperatures at noon in summer. - **Save Money**: Visit free attractions + snacks during the day, watch the night view at night, and choose more affordable accommodation along the subway line. I hope you have a great time in Ningbo! If you have more needs, such as specific route planning, you can always ask more questions~
