Cheap Flights to Ningbo

When is the best time to fly to Ningbo?

The subtropical climate of Ningbo means that temperatures remain fairly warm throughout the year, making the city an all year destination. It is advisable to avoid the months of July, August and September as temperatures can become very hot at this time and typhoons can sometimes occur during these months.

Many people choose to visit Ningbo in May, as it is during this month that the annual Waxberry Festival is held in Henghe Town. This celebration gives visitors the opportunity of sampling delicious waxberry wine. If you are looking to catch a cheap flight to the city of Ningbo, the best times to fly are either during November or January, as these months are the low season for tourists.

Ningbo overview

Located in the Zhejiang province in the east of China, Ningbo is one of the most popular destinations in the country for overseas tourists. The city enjoys a prime location on the East China Sea coast and is close to the mountain ranges of Siming and Tiantai. These mountain ranges offer some truly breath-taking scenic vistas and the people who live in the villages which lie in the foothills are always friendly and welcoming. Situated in the outlying area of Nanxi Village, the Nanxi Hot Spring is a popular attraction with visitors to Ningbo, due to its relaxing warm waters and the peaceful mountains and forests which surround it.

Within the vast area of the city itself, there are plenty of attractions to suit all tastes. Ningbo Youngor Zoo is home to over 10,000 animals and is set in magnificent surroundings. Animal lovers will also enjoy Ningbo Ocean World, one of the largest aquarium attractions in the country. As with many of the major cities in China, Ningbo has a rich history and there are a number of historic sites located both in the city and the surrounding area. The ancient temples of Baoguo and Ayuwang are a short journey away from the city centre and offer wonderfully peaceful retreats from the hustle and bustle of the central area of Ningbo.
