- Ningbo, formerly Mingzhou in the Song Dynasty, is home to the best glutinous rice balls in China. The best place to try these treats is Cylinder Duck Dog, a breakfast restaurant established in 1926. Ningbo's local cuisine is also well known for it's seafood. To experience the fishing culture and small traditional villages in this region of Zhejiang Province, we head to Li Min Village on the edge of Dongqian Lake. I recommend you go cafe hopping in this quaint area. The perfect way to explore the lake and navigate the narrow streets is by renting a bike or scooter.
Around Dongqian Lake you will also find Hanling Old Street Scenic Area and the famous art gallery.
If you're looking for the modern experience of city life, head to the Old Bund area to see the vibrant night life and streets lined with bars. This area reminded me of Shanghai.
If you're only in Ningbo for a few hours, head over to Moon Lake, also referred to as West Lake by locals. Here you can rent a duck pedal boat or relax in the tranquil gardens. From here, it's just a short walk to Ningbo Drum Tower and Gulou Pedestrian Street where you can find traditional street food and architecture.

宁波，原名宋代明州，是中国最好的汤圆之乡。尝试这些美食的最佳地点是 Cylinder Duck Dog(缸鸭狗)，这是一家成立于 1926 年的早餐餐厅。宁波的当地美食是以海鲜而闻名的，为了体验浙江省这一地区的渔业文化和传统小村落，我们将前往东钱湖边的利民村。我建议可以在这个古色古香的地区逛逛咖啡馆，探索这一片区域最佳方式是租一辆自行车或电动车。
东钱湖周边还有寒岭老街风景区和著名的美术馆。
如果您想体验现代的城市生活，可以前往老外滩地区，感受充满活力的夜生活和酒吧林立的街道。这个地区让我想起了上海。
如果您只在宁波短暂停留，可以前往月湖，也就是当地人所说的“西湖”。您可以在这里租一艘鸭脚踏船或在宁静的花园中放松身心。从这里步行不远便可抵达宁波鼓楼和步行街，您可以在那里找到传统的街头美食和建筑。

Ningbo is a such beautiful city 🏙️
I completely agree! ❤️
@@ExpatNatt est ce que ningbo medical est bien????
thank you
My hometown, an elegant and quiet city with a population of 7 million, is a combination of ancient and modern cities.
It’s such a beautiful area. I hope I can travel back around here soon! ❤️
你的数据过时了，，现在是850万人口，，加上外地人，超过一千万。
China is now a mixture of ancient and modern. 😊
Wow, Ningbo is beautiful. I didn't expect the "smaller" cities in China to be this developed. City life looks very vibrant. Will try to visit one day!
It’s very beautiful and even has an English University campus in Ningbo so very well developed!
It’s not an SMALL city. 😊
Wu speaking area of China is VERY developed (the other is probably cantonese-speaking area), as compared to other mandarin-majority areas
Ningbo is not smaller 😂,10 million people
The route you picked for your scooter ride was a such a pleasant one… and the seafood was mouth watering.
It was a very nice drive and not too hot outside which made it much more enjoyable 🥰
宁波是个美丽的江南城市，那里有很多美味的海鲜，祝小姐姐小哥哥旅途愉快
谢谢你的观看。我在这个美丽的城市度过了愉快的时光。❤️
I simply love watching your videos... The only negative thing is that I want to be wherever you go as well...the places you visit are so pretty and inviting... thanks for sharing as usual... take care, dear...❤
Thanks for watching! ❤
Welcome to China
Love Ningbo! It is a nice weekend gateway from Shanghai :)
Right?! It’s so close and easy to get to! 🥰
Very good video with beautiful scenery
Thank you 🥰🥰
非常感谢您高质量的影片，作为宁波人感到很骄傲。
The fusion of modern and classical is a characteristic of Chinese city building, very beautiful city, have a good time
Thank you ☺️❤️
宁波给我的感觉要比杭州更加惬意悠然 非常好的体验
❤❤❤
I havn't been back home for 2 years, thank you for your video:)
Thank you for watching ❤️
Good to see you again! Some day when I visit China I will take you on your recommendation and visit Ninbo.
Thanks for watching! I highly recommend Dongqian lake, it was lovely. There are many lakes and islands off of Ningbo which I hope to explore one day too 🥰
Lovely video Natt!!! Wonderful tour of the city and breathtaking scenery! Absolutely love your choice of background music!
Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️
Born in Ningbo, study in both Hangzhou and Shanghai during high school, and then study and finnaly immgrated to States. It has been almost 15 years I am not stay in Ningbo as a daily life. So big changes every time I went back. I miss my hometown so much and can't wait to come back next month after pandemic.
I’m currently homesick in Sydney rn, Thank you for the Ningbo vid to cheer up my day x
I hope the homesickness goes away soon! 🥰
nice place
It really is! 🥰
Shanghai people are originated from Ningbo . Date back to 1800s, Shanghai was a fishing village while Ningo was a big city with population over 0.5 million. Shanghai dialect shares similarity with Ningbo locals.
Ningbo is also still one of the world's biggest ports so I can definitely see why it was so populated back then!
Shanghai People are originally from Ningbo? Totally bullshit.
Ming, Qing dynasty, Shanghai was economical and culturally important to the country. And Songjiang Fu(city, Shanghai County was governed by song Jiang fu) contributed 10 times Tax as much as Ningbo Fu(City). You should go to learn history, not spit bullshit. Old Shanghai is county, almost half of Ningbo city(Fu) and almost the same amount of Suzhou city(Fu) immigrated to shanhai.
@@ExpatNatt Songjiang Fu was named 2rd place as one of JiangNan 8 Fu, and Ningbo Fu was even not among one of them.
@@max26888 不知道就别瞎bb，宁波是上海人口第一大来源地，1/3的上海人来自宁波及后裔
Lovely video; never heard of Ningbo though. So many places to see and things to do in China! The beers were definitely very expensive however.
It’s not far from Shanghai so a great weekend trip for us. I don’t drink beer so didn’t even have one but when only 6 arrived for the price we paid I was so shocked 😅 They were only 310ml as well, less than a can of Coca Cola!
If comparing the expense with US, it’s not that expensive, also comparing with SHANGHAI, BEIJING, still cheaper
风景如画啊！
我同意 🥰
nice watching this! :)) I lived in ningbo for 3 years
Have a nice time🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
I remember ten years ago leaving Ningbo in a container ship to come to America. The journey was quite rough but I made it to San Francisco and worked ten years in a restaurant to pay off my debts. Now I am an almost legal American with my own pick up truck working on my first country music album
Sounds like you’ve got plenty to sing about in that album!
Should return to China instead
按这样说，当年是走线（偷渡）过去的，从北仑港？
Awesome slideshow!
would love more of your series!
Great job Natt!
Thank you! 🥰
宁波也很漂亮❤❤

欢迎来宁波哈
❤️❤️
i never been to Ningbo so want to visit it soon. from macau
I definitely recommend! I haven’t been to Macau yet, I hope I can visit there soon! 🥰
Ningbo is a super beautiful underrated region of China. You are supercute
Ningbo is a lovely China, still so much to explore. I hope to return there soon! ☺️ Thanks for watching!
I look forward to your next trip to Dali and Shangri-La.😅😅😅
I would love to visit these places 😍
Thank you very much for sharing us your romantic adventures and the beautiful sights. ❤ The title is misleading it sais by bike but it was by scooter. Haha. 12:14 It is unfortunate that the bars at old bund are expensive. Where there are many people who hang out, where the demand is high in the end the marked just want to set the prizes high to take out as much money of its client as possible. This i think is a greedy market philosophy that exist on earth today at the cost of the consumer and tourists...Hanging out in the city would be a lot more fun if the prizes were more honest and constant.
nice very looking how are you
居然在宁波东钱湖，天一广场，月湖
欢迎！！！我是宁波人
❤️❤️
Let's go Natt
好正点的洋妞啊
谢谢☺️
Where is ningbo I am hearing it for the first time.
Btw this look pretty ✨❤.
Ningbo is around a 2 hour train ride just south of Shanghai, China. It’s also one of the worlds busiest ports. 🥰
Ningbo, Zhejiang
cute England accent
🥰🥰
I know a lot of people, me included, are on the lookout for videos about the far flung corners of China. I know it means travelling afar, so it doesn't matter if you two aren't keen.
I would love to go but at the moment I only have the weekends to travel so can’t go anywhere more than a couple of hours from Shanghai. I do have tentative plans to go a bit more remote but it’ll depend on if I can get some leave from work (very unlikely 😂）
宁波初等教育非常不错，但是大学真不行，整个浙江也只有一所985😂
My grandparents came from Ning Bo but I have never been there. Have to check out. Thank you for the video!
BTW, were you able to finish all the food?
Thank you for watching! Yes, Miu could finish in infinite amount of food hahaha

You can go to the Hangzhou，very beautiful。
Yes we have been! You can check out our Yangzhou video on my channel 🥰
@@ExpatNatt can you speak Chinese？
Not really. I can speak enough to survive every day situations with speaking and listening but not enough to make a whole video in Chinese (my reading and writing Chinese isn’t very good either 😂)
@@ExpatNatt 早安，晚安，我喜欢你，我爱你，我想你了。Can you understand all of these Chinese characters?
I can understand most of them. My listening and speaking is better than my reading because I’ve picked up my Chinese from conversations in daily life rather than reading 😂
Do you edit your own videos? Great job
Yes I do! Thank you! 🥰
@@ExpatNatt when are you going back to the UK, vlog from there too
@@Frediewon2be I will do! I have lots of video ideas for when I’m back in England, if you have any recommendations on what you’d like to see, please let me know! 🥰
Beautiful place 😍😍 Hy I am from Nepal
Plz visit our Nepal 😊😊
Thanks for watching ❤️
The Ningbo is huge, and population density is low, 1/16 as Seoul
hotel price, how much per day?
This room was 579 RMB for the night. You can definitely find cheaper places but as a foreigner I need to make sure they will register my temporary residence, most cheaper hotels won’t do this so it’s harder for foreigners.
Is to study in medical university ningbo is good university
I don’t know which universities are good to study medicine, I don’t live in Ningbo, maybe a local can comment and let you know!
love the hotel robot!
People (mostly China haters) say China doesn't have history, that houses in the villages/rural areas are no older than 50 of age (reason: Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution apparently tore down all the old, historical houses). I beg to differ @ 9:20. A reflecting pool in front of the houses and mountains behind them. Very fengshui i might add!
Ningbo is a nice city, but 400rmb for 6 drinks! That is expensive.
Yes definitely! I couldn’t even imagine paying that in Shanghai!
Hey there! Out of curiosity, are you currently working as an English teacher?
Yes, I am 😇
@@ExpatNatt that’s so cool! I have an interview tomorrow for a similar type of job. :)
Mind if I message you on IG with a few questions?
@@dremolar4627 sure, I’m not sure how quickly I can reply since I’ll be at work today but feel free to reach out (expatnatt on insta) 🥰
Ningbo is a nice city though with an impossible-to-understand accent.🤣
A local came up to us asking if I was Russian in Ningbo dialect and none of us understood what he said. Then he switched to Shanghainese and my friend could understand 😅😅
