📸【Tour Introduction】
1️⃣ Ningbo Academician Center
Navigate to the "Visitor Center." The internet-famous tree facing East Lake, the arched gate viewing platform, and a bird's-eye view of the small fishing village below are all here.
2️⃣ Limin Village
A small fishing village built by the lake. There are many artistic shops in the village, and every alley leads to the lakeside, making it a great place for photos!
3️⃣ Little Putuo
A long causeway in the middle of East Lake. Enter from the west gate near Limin Village, and walk to the other side to see the Water Guanyin and Xiayu Chan Temple.
4️⃣ Guo Jiazhi Village
A smaller and quieter fishing village than Limin Village. Picture 3 is of cookiii coffee, which is located here.
5️⃣ Sun-Moon Slope
The super healing East Lake lighthouse is here. Sitting on the lawn gives you a lazy and comfortable feeling of being at the seaside~
6️⃣ Hanling Old Street
Small bridges, flowing water, and houses. There are various restaurants and snacks. Near the lake, you can see the Hanling Art Museum, which is not yet open, but the building itself is very photogenic.
7️⃣ International Lake House
Metasequoia trees, grassy slopes, and wooden houses. It is known as "Little Switzerland of Ningbo." You can have a picnic on the large lawn here~

🌱【Spring Outing Tips】
On this spring trip to East Lake, I brought some Hangzhou souvenirs for my Ningbo friends: Zhiweiguan's Longjing tea cakes and freshly baked cheese shortbread. "Jiangnan has nothing to offer, but I give you a taste of spring." The refreshing tea fragrance is a perfect match for spring.
Zhiweiguan · Fireworks Market, which opened last year on Dongpo Road in Hangzhou, is full of Chinese aesthetic style, and there are always long queues every time I go there. 😭 Fortunately, Zhiweiguan is now also available online. 🛒 With a 15-day shelf life, the taste is as soft, glutinous, and fragrant as the offline store. 🍃~
