I have returned to Ningbo. I really don’t recommend going there in March. I came to a city because of a song.

Step into Ming Dynasty Elegance at Tian Yi Ge Museum 🏯✨
Rain or shine, Tian Yi Ge is a stunning journey into Chinese library history and refined architecture. Follow the rhythm of ancient eaves and misty walls—every angle here tells a story!
🧭 Suggested Route:
Start at the entrance on West Tianyi Street, meander through the serene courtyards, and make the library your first highlight—the oldest private library in Asia! Feel free to linger and soak up the tranquil vibes, especially when it’s cloudy and rainy (the wet stone and russet tiles make for atmospheric photos).
📸 Insta-worthy angles:
Get close-ups of those sweeping eaves against soft daylight—cloudy weather brings out subtle details in the carvings. For portrait shots, frame yourself in front of the main building’s rain-sheened walls or capture the lush courtyard from under the covered walkways.
🏺 Must-dos:
Take a quiet moment to admire the antique books and inscriptions. Check the display halls for rare tomes and historic relics, adding intellectual charm to your visit.
🕘 Practical visiting tips:
May–Oct: 08:30–17:30 (last entry 17:00), Tues–Sun; Mon: 13:30–17:30.

⚠️ Precautions:
Watch your step on rainy days—the stone paths can be slippery. Some exhibition rooms are dimly lit, so mind your footing. Photography is allowed, but take care with fragile artifacts.
