[2025 Ningbo Attraction] Travel Guide for Limin Village (Updated Mar)

Spring is in the air, and it's the perfect time of year to admire pear blossoms! Hidden in Ningbo, a century-old internet-famous pear tree stands quietly in Limin Village, waiting for people to come for this spring date. ⏰ Best time to see the blossoms: From mid-to-late March to early April each year, this century-old pear tree is the undisputed soul of Limin Village. Its flourishing branches resemble a giant umbrella, tilting towards the lake's surface. The pure white pear blossoms reflect in the emerald green water, complementing each other in breathtaking beauty. Wishes written on ribbons hang from the tree branches, fluttering in the breeze, creating a perfect spring atmosphere. 🚗 Getting there: 1. 🚌Subway + Bus: Take Line 4 to Dongqian Lake Station, Exit A. Transfer to Bus No. 901 and get off at "Jianshe Village" station. Then walk 800 meters to reach the pear tree. This eco-friendly option allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way, perfect for those who aren't in a hurry and prefer a slower pace. 2. 🚗Driving: Navigate directly to "Xiaoputuo Scenic Area." It's more convenient to walk in after arrival. If traveling on weekends, it's recommended to leave early, as parking can be limited. Don't let parking issues spoil your blossom viewing! 📸 Photo Tips: For outfits, white dresses and light-colored clothing are spring staples. Pair them with a straw hat or a bamboo basket to instantly transform into a spring fairy. Against the backdrop of pear blossoms, you'll look fresh and elegant. If you prefer a vintage style, choose dark-colored clothing. For a bold look, try a red dress against the white blossoms—the strong visual contrast creates stunning photos. Timing is key. We highly recommend going in the early morning. Not only are there fewer tourists, allowing you to enjoy ample shooting space and easily capture great photos, but Dongqian Lake in the morning is dreamlike, shrouded in mist, adding a touch of mystery and romance to your pictures. 🏝 Nearby Activities: There are many nearby attractions, such as the Ningbo Academician Center, Limin Village, Jianshe Village, and Xiaoputuo, all within walking distance of the famous pear tree. After visiting the pear tree, you can also check out these places to enrich your spring trip. ⚠️ Important Notes: Please be respectful of the environment and refrain from damaging the branches or littering. Also, be mindful of your safety while taking photos and avoid taking risks for unique angles. There are many tea and coffee shops in the village, but the prices are relatively high. It's advisable to check the prices beforehand. The pear blossom season is short. Be sure to check the local weather and blossom forecasts before your trip to avoid missing this annual spectacle. Save this guide, invite your friends or partner, and come to Limin Village to take stunning spring photos that will light up your social media feeds. Create lasting spring memories!

I left Ningbo, but my heart is still there. There are so many beautiful and comfortable places. There are many beautiful places along Dongqian Lake where you can take photos. Each attraction is also very close to each other. Although there are many cafes around the lake in Limin Village, I still recommend Guo Jiazhi. Because the surrounding scenery is very beautiful! It really feels like Erhai Lake. Navigate directly to: Guo Jiazhi cookiii coffee. The road can be a bit congested and parking might be difficult. It is recommended to park on the roadside a few hundred meters before your destination if you find a parking space, and then walk to enjoy the scenery along the way.

After five years in Ningbo, I've discovered that the city's four seasons are like a secret code hidden within the blooming and falling flowers! From the cherry blossom rain in March, the azaleas in April, to the pink muhly grass in September… Today, I'm sharing my personal flower calendar to help you unlock the limited-time romance of each month. 🌸March Cherry Blossom Blast: Sakura Park 📍Address: Zhongshan East Road, Yinzhou District (Subway Sakura Park Station, Exit B) 🚗Off-the-beaten-path route: Rush into the south gate before 7am and head straight to the east side of the viewing corridor to enjoy the entire cherry blossom forest all to yourself! Wear a light-colored sweater + denim skirt, and film a twirling video against the light. The petals create their own pink soft-focus effect. 🍡Hidden treat: The mugwort mochi sold by the grandma with a cart at the exit is 3 yuan/piece, warm and stringy, dipped in soybean powder, it's so delicious you'll lick your fingers. ⚠️Note: The crowds on weekend afternoons are comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush. It's recommended to bring a folding stool for low-angle shots. Last week, I tagged along with a Hanfu photography group and got three ancient-style photos😂 🌼March-April Rapeseed Flower Wonderland: Dayan Xifan Village, Fenghua 📍Address: Xifan Village, Dayan Town, Fenghua District 📸Secret photo spot: The abandoned waterwheel at the highest point of the terraced fields. Use a wide-angle lens to frame the golden waves + the tiled village. Posting this on your Moments will have everyone asking if you're in Wuyuan. 🚗Road trip bonus: Set your navigation to "Baikeng Reservoir." There's a wild viewing platform at the corner of the mountain road, perfect for capturing photos of your car + the sea of flowers. 👒Outfit tips: Straw bag + floral dress = automatically blend into a pastoral painting. Remember to wear non-slip shoes! The dew on the ridges can make you waltz. 🌺April Azalea Feast: Siming Mountain Panoramic Highway 📍Address: Panxi Village, Longguan Township, Haishu District 🗺️Unconventional route: Don't go to Xuedou Mountain with the crowds! Drive 10 kilometers along the Xibei Line to encounter the wild azalea slopes in shades of red and pink. A 20-minute hike will take you to a cliff-side viewing platform, with a sea of clouds and flowers rolling beneath your feet. 🎒Gear list: Mini oxygen tank (altitude 800 meters) + windproof jacket. The April mountain wind is colder than your ex.🥶 🍱Lunchbox inspiration: Pack some Aizi meat pies from Gulou. The hawthorn flavor is a perfect match for the mountain scenery. 🌷March-April Tulip Paradise: Yinzhou Park 📍Address: 1018 Shounan Middle Road, Yinzhou District 🎨Color palette secrets: On cloudy days, capture a cool-toned oil painting feel by lowering the exposure + vibrance on your phone. On sunny days, increase the saturation to capture the same vibrant colors as in Holland. 🕶️Clever props: Transparent umbrella (for a rainy day atmosphere) + retro newspaper (a magical tool for blocking passersby). 🍜Nearby food: The seaweed rice cakes at "Nuòjīji Kingdom" at the west gate of the park are 10 yuan/bowl and incredibly fresh. Last week, I saw an old man arranging tulips into a heart shape.

| Limincun Village, Dongqian Lake | Ningbo's healing "Little Erhai Lake." One of the romantic ways to open Dongqian Lake For example, go to the healing treasure fishing village between Cangshan and Erhai Lake, Limincun Village☑️ ✍🏻✍🏻Limincun Village is one of Ningbo's historical and cultural villages. It is backed by Taogong Mountain and faces Dongqian Lake. It is composed of four natural villages: Xueshan, Shiwang, Caojia, and Xinjia. The white-walled and black-tiled fishing village overlooking the mountainside is like another kind of lakeside life away from the hustle and bustle💙💙 Stroll through the village, and pick up the simple fireworks in the quiet alleys and eaves. Along the lakeside, there are cafes, homestays, and restaurants with their own characteristics. Choose one you like and chill for a relaxing time🍀🍀 ✍🏻✍🏻Occasionally, you will meet enthusiastic villagers who will ask if you need to take a tricycle out of the village. It is difficult to wait for a bus at the entrance of the village, which is probably the default way to leave the village, and the price is reasonable. On weekends, go to a windy place👣👣 🌈Limincun Village 📍Dongqian Lake Town, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City

Sometimes I really want to escape from life. Limin Village by Dongqian Lake is very quiet on rainy days, making it a great place to visit. Compared to the bustling crowds on sunny days, it offers a different kind of tranquility. After wandering around, I find a coffee shop to sit down in. There aren't many customers in the coffee shop, which suits someone like me who wants to hide from the rain🌧️ Everything in life sounds pretentious when spoken, but swallowing it down feels like self-compromise. It's always hard to find a balance. Fortunately, the coffee and cinnamon rolls in the shop taste great and have healed me. Location: Dongqian Lake, Limin Village Parking🅿️: Cars are not allowed to enter the village, so you need to park in the parking lot outside the village. It's a bit of a walk to get there, so be careful⚠️.
