Ningbo & Ninghai
There are two sides of Ningbo. While the prosperous urban cityscape of Ningbo has entrenched its reputation as one of the world's busiest port, it secretly harbors top-class retreats such as Tiantai Mountain for those who seek to escape the hustle and bustle.
Known for its mountainous landscape owing to its location by the foot of the Tiantai Mountain, Ninghai County is one of Ningbo's best-kept secret. From Nanxi hot spring, deep gorges and picturesque hiking trails, as well as a gateway to the Huangnan Maple Ancient Path which brims with colors during the autumn season, Ninghai is a pocketful of surprises.
