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.

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.
