In the history of Ningbo, there were sun and moon lakes, and the sun and the moon were shining. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the essayist Zhang Dai used delicate brushwork to depict the beautiful twin lakes in "Taoan Dream Remembrance", but the original Rihu had already dried up and withdrew from people's sight in the last century. Its site is located at the intersection of Jiefang South Road and Lianqiao Street in Ningbo City. In 2002, the relevant departments of Ningbo City built a large urban park near Jiangbei Baytou, which is now "Rihu Park".

Tulips in Rihu Park, Ningbo 🌷 (live) Taken on March 9 (live photos start from the fifth one) Currently, most tulips in Rihu Park have bloomed, with some buds still remaining. There are many visitors on weekends, so sisters who want to take photos and have ample time are advised to avoid peak times. Compared to the Academician Park, there are more tulips here, but the stems are relatively shorter. Personally, I suggest choosing the nearest one.

Ningbo was formerly known as Mingzhou, and within the city, there were the Sun and Moon Lakes, with a river channel connecting the two lakes, reflecting the sun and moon, forming a character 'Ming'. However, the original Rihu has long been dried up and disappeared from people's view since the last century. In 2002, a large park was built near the Bay Head area of Jiangbei in Ningbo, named 'Rihu Park'. This move sparked controversy among the citizens of Ningbo. Opponents believed that this Rihu was not the original one and should not be misrepresented; supporters argued that Rihu should not just vanish, and if it was impossible to excavate at the original site, replicating it elsewhere was also acceptable.

In the sunny open areas, tulips, lupines, and other popular flowers are planted regularly. The park is full of highlights throughout the year and is worth visiting time and again. The main attractions include Taixi Viewing Fish, Golden Beach, Eden, Forest Oxygen Bar, and the Waterfront Walkway.
