On both sides of the street you will find several shops with a wide range of things to look at, buy, eat, and drink. There are both fancy and simple restaurants, as well as snack shops throughout the streets. One very fun thing to do is dress up in traditional Chinese clothes, hanfu, at a local dress shop that rents the outfits and allows you to walk around the area and take pictures! The ladies in the store can also prep your hair in different styles, it all depends on which era the hanfu you choose corresponds to. There are options for men, women, and children too. 💰Renting the clothes will cost you around ¥100. The Jiangbei area, and even more specifically in Cicheng, is also known for its delicacies. When visiting Cicheng, sticky rice cake is a must-try! 🌟 During my time there, I visited a restaurant that taught us about the entire process - from planting the seeds, to harvesting the grains, until the rice is prepped and ready to be mixed with oil and stuffing using our bear hands! Afterwards we got to taste what we made and were also served delicious traditional Chinese foods such as soup buns, crayfish, wontons and Ningbo-style pastries. 🤸🏻‍♀️ Enjoy Cicheng! #historicplaces #staycation #ningbo #food #culture
