There is a chance to visit the Ningbo Museum. Unlike many urban museums, the architecture of the Ningbo Museum itself is an exhibition. It is from the hands of Mr. Wang Wei, the architect of the Xiangshan Campus of the Academy of Fine Arts. Old bricks removed from the old building, if you look carefully, you can also find the symbols left in the year when you burned. There are no rare cultural relics in the museum, but the exhibition on Ningbo history and folk customs is particularly comprehensive, and it is the best window to understand Ningbo's past and present. Entering the venue, each showroom is filled with items of different ages. In the Qing Dynasty, a complete set of musical instruments and a complete set of tableware were selected. In the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty chose to display a small amount of porcelain, most of which were in graphic form. Introducing the current situation of Ningbo at that time, from the urban layout, the people's life, the policies of various periods introduced the history of Ningbo, and then the dynasties placed a lot of pottery, and a small number of bronzes were of course accompanied by a large number of pictures and texts.

Museums are a way for people to understand the culture of a place. It is a part of urban culture to keep museums. For tourists, the place to start exploring a new city is the museum. The Ningbo Museum has unique architectural shape, and the building is tilted and beautiful. It is the first Chinese national winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. It is made in the Wang Hao Design and is the most typical representative of Wang Shu’s “New Localism” architectural style. On the outer wall, a large number of old bricks removed from the old buildings in Ningbo were used to form a “corrugated wall”. At the same time, bamboo pieces with Jiangnan characteristics were used to make concrete walls for decoration. The whole design integrates Ningbo's regional cultural characteristics, traditional architectural elements and modern architectural forms and techniques, forming a unique Ningbo Museum.

The exhibition is pretty good, you can learn about Ningbo's local culture. The museum is also beautiful. It's a long way from the subway, but there are parks along the way and the scenery is pretty good.

‌Ningbo Museum‌ is located at No. 1000 Shounan Middle Road, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It is a national first-class museum, mainly displaying Ningbo's humanities, history, and art. It is a comprehensive museum. The museum covers an area of 60 mu, with a total construction area of 30,000 square meters. The architectural style is unique, designed by Wang Shu, the first Chinese Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, reflecting the "neo-vernacular" style.

On a misty spring day, I originally went to the Ningbo Museum for its history and culture, but I didn't expect to be stunned by the cherry blossoms at the entrance. The fine drizzle gently caresses the cherry blossoms, making them appear even more fresh and delicate, each cluster bursting with life. Raindrops hang on the petals, crystal clear, like a natural filter. The ground is covered with pink petals, and when the wind blows, the petals flutter down, a true cherry blossom rain! Strolling under an umbrella, with a soft "flower carpet" underfoot and falling petals overhead, this unique rainy day romance is unforgettable! I estimate that now is the peak blooming season for cherry blossoms, and there's still a week left to enjoy them! The romance is doubled when viewing cherry blossoms on a rainy day!

From the tiled walls of the museum to the thousand-year-old library, this underestimated old coastal city hides a hardcore underworld spirit! 🌊Ningbo 24-hour walking guide, traveling through the days and nights of Sanjiangkou, save it quickly! ………… 🌏Route planning Ningbo Museum – Old Bund – Drum Tower – City God Temple – Moon Lake Park – Tianyi Pavilion. I stayed near the train station at night and took the subway to the museum in the morning. The tulips in the square in front of the museum were in full bloom. After the tour, I took the subway to the Old Bund, and then rode a bicycle to the Drum Tower, City God Temple and Tianfeng Pagoda to check in. Ningbo's "Xiaoliu" electric bikes were well received. They not only had a windshield but also gloves, which was very user-friendly in this cold season. On the way to Tianyi Pavilion, we passed Yuehu Park. There was a clear blue lake, rippling boats, and plum blossoms that had already bloomed. It was just the beginning of spring, and the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River was so beautiful! ………… 📍Ningbo Museum 🆓 (⚠️ Make an appointment in advance｜Metro Line 3 Yinzhou District Government Station) The venue architecture won the Pritzker Prize! A landscape fantasy built with 30,000 old bricks and tiles, a huge film in the open-air museum on the rooftop, the filming location of the TV series "The Three-Body Problem", and a very hardcore special exhibition of "Maritime Silk Road". 📍Old Bund 🆓 Nightlife 20 years earlier than the Bund in Shanghai! The moment the lights are turned on at Sanjiangkou Church, it looks like the set of "Fanghua". Find a bar along the riverside bar street to listen to jazz, drink bayberry wine in the salty and humid sea breeze, and get a little tipsy. 📍Drum Tower🆓 The only remaining ancient city tower ruins in Ningbo City were built in the Tang Dynasty. There is a Western-style alarm bell on the Chinese-style city tower with a unique shape. It is a landmark building in Ningbo! 📍Chenghuang Temple + Tianfeng Tower🆓, climb tower 5💰 The Temple of the God of Wealth is very popular! The fortune-telling says I will be rich this year [Spoof] It costs 5 yuan to climb the Tianfeng Tower. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to go up. Although the tower is high, the scenery up there is not that good. The imagined scene of overlooking the panoramic view of Ningbo's old city is not there. 📸Tianfeng Tower photo booth: in the middle of the Magpie Bridge on the second floor of Chenghuang Temple Pedestrian Street opposite the tower 📍Tianyi Pavilion💰30 The oldest private library in Asia! Have a blast at the Mahjong Museum, and remember to touch the 500-year-old bamboo cypress planted by Fan Qin. ………… 🚅Transportation Ningbo Railway Station is in the city, and there is a direct subway to Lishe Airport.

Ningbo's shared electric vehicles have received good reviews, and some even come with windshields and gloves, which is the next level! ………… When the salty sea breeze passes through the bricks and tiles of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, we discover that the romance of Ningbo is hidden in the never-extinguished beacon lights at Sanjiangkou.

**In-depth Tour Guide for Ningbo Museum｜Travel through 7,000 years and touch the soul of a city** **📍Address**: No. 1000, Shounan Middle Road, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City (near Yinzhou Park) **⏰Opening hours**: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00 (no admission at 16:00), closed on Monday (except statutory holidays) ### **Architecture: A "talking" city** Ningbo Museum itself is an art exhibit. Architect Wang Shu used millions of bricks and tiles from the demolition of Ningbo's old city to build this "historical city wall" that resembles sails and mountains. The collision between the rough wall texture and geometric lines seems to freeze thousands of years in it. It is recommended to walk around the museum first to feel the vicissitudes of life as light and shadow flow between the bricks and tiles. A casual shot can be a humanistic blockbuster. ### **Exploring the exhibition hall: Unlocking the code of Ningbo floor by floor** **1️⃣ Second floor｜"Oriental Shenzhou-Ningbo Historical Exhibition"** 7000 years of civilization history is condensed here. From the rice-growing civilization of Hemudu, the "secret color" legend of Yue Kiln celadon, to the prosperous port city of the "Maritime Silk Road" in the Tang and Song dynasties, the bronze axe of "Feathered Man Racing" in the Warring States Period and the underground palace model of Tianfeng Pagoda with silver carvings from the Southern Song Dynasty in the display cabinets are particularly shocking. Strolling through the seven themed chapters, it’s like having a conversation with Ningbo people of all generations, and understanding the openness and tenacity of this city. **2️⃣ Third floor｜Bamboo carving art and old Ningbo folk customs** - **Bamboo carving art hall**: desk decorations for literati in Ming and Qing dynasties, with exhibits such as the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" pen holder and Dongfang Shuo seated statue as representatives. The knife technique is as delicate as a painting, and it is the pinnacle of Chinese bamboo carving art. - **"Ala Lao Ningbo" Folk Customs Exhibition**: Wander through the restored streets of the Republic of China, see red and gold lacquered wooden barrels, bone and wood inlaid furniture, and feel the fireworks of market life. The wedding customs and New Year rituals of old Ningbo are reproduced, evoking nostalgic memories of generations. **3️⃣ First Floor｜Special Exhibition and Digital Exhibition Hall (Recommended for 2025)** The 2025 special exhibition "Ancient Jiangnan: Land, Sea, Mountains and Rivers" focuses on the new archaeological discoveries of the 50th anniversary of the Hemudu culture, and 3D technology restores the living scenes of the ancestors; the "Our Dinosaurs" special exhibition uses interactive devices to attract parent-child families. The "Silk Road Without Borders" in the digital exhibition hall recreates the grand scene of maritime trade with holographic projection, creating a strong sense of immersion. ### **Practical tips** - **Reservation**: Free admission, but reservation is required 1 day in advance on the Ningbo Museum official account (it is recommended to avoid weekend peaks during peak season). - **Transportation**: Take Metro Line 3 to Yinzhou District Government Station, or take Bus No. 107, 166, etc.; if you drive, you can park at Yinzhou Park Parking Lot. - **Guide**: Free guides are available at 10:00 and 14:00 every day, and audio guides can also be rented (20 yuan/unit). - **Nearby Linkage**: It is only a 5-minute walk to Yinzhou Park, where you can stroll along the lake or go boating to experience the leisure of modern Ningbo. If you have enough time, you can visit the Ningbo Gang Museum (15 minutes by car) to learn more about the gang culture. ### **Travel Tips** - The cafe in the museum offers Ningbo specialty cakes (such as dragon and phoenix golden balls), which you can enjoy for a while; the souvenir shop recommends bamboo bookmarks and Yue kiln celadon replicas, which are exquisite and portable. - Photography tips: After 3pm, the light and shadow of the west exterior wall are best; the top terrace overlooks the new city skyline, with a strong contrast between the past and the present. Ningbo Museum not only displays history, but also serves as a container of the soul of a city. Here, every step is a whisper with time, and every glance is a collision of cultures.

Travel through time and meet Ningbo. Want to travel back to Hemudu in an instant and witness how rice from 7,000 years ago tells the story of the origin of Chinese civilization? Want to stroll through the port of Mingzhou in the Tang and Song dynasties and experience the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road? Or do you want to listen to the crisp sound of Yue kiln celadon and savor its elegance that has spanned thousands of years? ………… Ningbo Museum is not just a building that houses history, but a bridge that connects the past and the present. Here, every artifact carries a story, and every story is waiting to meet you. ………… The building of Ningbo Museum itself is a work of art. It is a filming location for the TV series "The Three-Body Problem". The museum was designed by Wang Shu, a Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, who skillfully combined modern architectural language with traditional Ningbo elements to create a style that is both modern and full of local characteristics. The exterior walls of the museum are made of millions of old bricks and tiles, called "tile walls". These bricks and tiles were collected from the demolition of the old city of Ningbo. The exterior walls also feature bamboo-textured concrete, which is created by pressing bamboo onto the surface of the concrete to form a unique texture. This not only reflects the cultural characteristics of the region but also adds a natural and rustic touch to the building! The rooftop on the third floor is also a great place for taking photos! ………… 🏠Address No. 1000, Shounan Middle Road, Yinzhou District 🚇Transportation Take Metro Line 3 or 5 to Yinzhou District Government Station, and walk from Exit C 🎫Tickets Free, no reservation required 🕰Opening Hours Opening Information Tuesday to Friday: 9:00–17:00 (last entry at 16:00) Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays: 9:00–21:00 (last entry at 20:00) Closed on Mondays (except public holidays) ⌚️Visit Duration 2.5 hours 🔥Stamp One museum passport stamp at the service desk ………… Ningbo Museum has three floors, with exhibitions consisting of themed exhibitions, special exhibitions, and temporary exhibitions. ✅The first floor has a temporary exhibition hall, which recently featured the temporary exhibition "The Origin of the East: Ningbo and Xi'an: A Cross-Time and Space Dialogue Exhibition of the Silk Road by Land and Sea". ✅The second floor has a permanent exhibition, which is the museum's general exhibition: "The Divine Ship of the East: Ningbo History Exhibition", reflecting the historical context and artistic characteristics of Ningbo city. ✅The third floor has permanent exhibitions: Old Ningbo: Ningbo Folk Customs and Objects Exhibition Bamboo Carving Art: Qin Bingnian Donated Ming and Qing Bamboo Carving Treasures Exhibition Appreciating Treasures: Ningbo Museum Collection of Cultural Relics Exhibition The Great Longevity: Heilongjiang Provincial Museum Collection of Pan Tianshou's Calligraphy and Painting Works Exhibition (temporary exhibition) ✍🏻Recommended visit order: 2nd floor - 3rd floor - 1st floor 👑Important cultural relics: Bronze axe with feathered man racing pattern from the Warring States period, ivory carving of an eagle's head, Yue kiln celadon lotus leaf tea cup with saucer, silver pagoda with inscription from the 14th year of Shaoxing ✅The temporary exhibition "The Origin of the East" on the first floor is a recent highlight, ending on March 23.

As fragments of history and symbols of culture, folk customs are the roots and veins of Ningbo, the unquenchable fire left behind after the baptism of history, and the emotional memories, value pursuits, and aesthetic sustenance of every Ningbo person. If you visit the Ningbo Museum, don't miss this exhibition.

Ningbo Museum is like a three-dimensional time book, narrating the long history and splendid civilization of this land. The grand and magnificent exterior resembles the surging waves of the East China Sea, showcasing the profound meaning of marine culture. The museum's exhibits are rich and diverse, ranging from the ancient imprints of the Hemudu Site to the glorious chapters of the Maritime Silk Road. Each artifact tells the legendary story of Ningbo. The modern display methods and interactive facilities inside the museum make history vivid and lively. Whether you are tracing the footsteps of culture or experiencing the edification of art, Ningbo Museum is an unmissable spiritual journey.

Ningbo, Yongcheng, has a history that can be traced back to the Hemudu culture 8,000 years ago. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Yue annexed the State of Wu. Ningbo is located on the southern wing of the Yangtze River Delta, with the Zhoushan Islands as a natural barrier to the east, Hangzhou Bay to the north, and Shaoxing to the west. The rivers include the Yaojiang River and the Fenghua River, which converge at Sanjiangkou in the urban area to form the Yongjiang River. Ningbo Museum is a national first-class museum, a comprehensive museum mainly displaying Ningbo's history, culture, and art. In 2020, Ningbo Museum and Ningbo Bang Museum were integrated into Ningbo Museum. The entire design of Ningbo Museum integrates Ningbo's regional cultural characteristics, traditional architectural elements, and modern architectural forms. It is a representative work of the new localism style by the Pritzker Architecture Prize winner. The museum's collections include the Tang Dynasty Yue Kiln Lotus Cup Holder, the Tang Dynasty Yue Kiln Carved Lotus Leaf Begonia Cup, and the Tang Dynasty Yue Kiln Patterned Lingzhi Pattern Beast Vein Pillow. The best and fastest way to understand a city is to visit its museums. On this trip to Ningbo and Putuo Mountain in Zhoushan, I first took the high-speed train to Ningbo, stayed at the Shangri-La Hotel Ningbo, and visited the Former Residence of Chiang Kai-shek in Xikou, Fenghua, and the Tianyi Pavilion Museum. On the third morning, I visited the Ningbo Museum, and in the afternoon, I took a bus to Putuo Mountain in Zhoushan. It was beautiful and left me wanting more. A wonderful trip.

Ningbo Museum is another landmark that you shouldn't miss. It stands out with its modern building designed by the famous architect Wang Xu, who used local materials such as old bricks and tiles to build it, reflecting Ningbo's long history. Inside, there are exhibitions covering the culture, history, and art of the area from the past to the present. You will see rare antiques and learn about the important maritime trade routes in ancient times. For those who are passionate about art, culture, or architecture, don't miss it! Walking around and taking beautiful photos is also great, or enjoying the historical content is also satisfying. #VisitMuseum #NingboMuseum #VisitNingbo #LandmarkChina #MustVisitCulture #StylishArchitecture #JourneyJames #100WaysToTravel #Nihaochina

With more playful expressions and highly interactive installations, it offers a new viewing experience for children and the general public. 3. The exhibition spans a wide range of eras and categories, featuring items from the Neolithic Hemudu pottery, the popular Yue kiln celadon of the Tang and Song dynasties, the exquisite carvings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, to various folk items from the Republic of China period.

The countdown to the cosmic flicker is about to begin! Get ready to welcome the arrival of the Trisolarans! Hahaha, this summer I still can't forget the various Three-Body film and television works from last year. Just think, the Three-Body series has been serialized since 2006, and it's been 18 years now. Liu Cixin's 'The Three-Body Problem' tells the story of the information exchange, life-and-death struggle, and the rise and fall of two civilizations in the universe between Earth's human civilization and the Trisolaran civilization. 'The Three-Body Problem' can be said to be a milestone in Chinese science fiction literature, elevating Chinese sci-fi to a global level! Thanks to Engineer Liu for taking the time to write this novel. 👍 When Master Liu and Master Wang collided in Ningbo, our curiosity led us to the Ningbo Museum to see Wang Shu's works. This place is also the filming location for the Three-Body TV series—the Three-Body Asian Combat Command Center. Here, we can experience Master Wang Shu's architecture in its local context.
