Water fun & Cool Retreats

Qiantong is not very populated, and “emptiness” and “quietness” are its soul. This ancient town is like a half-closed ancient book, not eager to open to everyone. But if you are willing to slow down, you will read the most authentic Jiangnan in the empty alleys and flowing water, the coexistence of decay and vitality, and the interweaving of loneliness and warmth. Its preciousness comes from this “imperfect reality”.

A small attraction that exceeded expectations. Not too far from the city, easy to get a taxi. Even on holidays, there are still a lot of people. The commercialization is just right, not too much or too little, and the snacks are also very good. Especially the bean curd skin.

I have been to many ancient towns, but the one that really made me want to go again is probably Qiantong Ancient Town. You may not have heard of Qiantong or Ninghai, but you must have heard of Ningbo. Qiantong Ancient Town is a small ancient town located in Ninghai County, Ningbo. It is very quiet here. Although there is an entrance fee, there are many ways to walk in.

Facilities: Newly opened hotel, all facilities and equipment are new
Hygiene: Also quite clean, the only thing is that it smells
Environment: The surrounding supporting facilities are complete
Service: The service is also quite enthusiastic

Located in Nanxi Village, Ninghai County, the address of the hot spring is easy to find. There are signposts all the way after getting off the highway. Passing by the town government gate, it is quite lively, with many restaurants. The local seafood is quite delicious and cheap. The open-air hot spring in the resort is not big, but the atmosphere is good. It is quite comfortable to soak in it. The service is quite good, and the auntie in the bathroom is always cleaning. It is cost-effective, and it takes about 3-4 hours. It is suitable for winter weekends with family and friends.

This is my second time to go to Forest Hot Spring. Although there are not too many pools, it is still pretty good. Especially the small fish pond is free, which is a good feeling. The small fish ponds in many hot springs are charged separately. The rest area is relatively large and there are some free snacks.

The hot springs are generally good, and the environment is good. The most important thing is that there were not many people when I went there. If I went during peak hours, it would be miserable. After the bath, there are leisure and entertainment upstairs, chess, cards, fitness, billiards, etc., which are not perfect and need to be strengthened. Self-driving, following the navigation all the way, it took only more than 3 hours from Shanghai. I went to the hot springs at night. Because it was Friday, there were not many people. The staff said that Saturday and Sunday were almost full, especially Saturday. The maximum number of receptions in one day can be equal to the total number of receptions at other times of the week. During the Chinese New Year, thousands of people were received every day, just like dumplings. Every hot spring pool was full. There are only two hot springs indoors, one is a fish therapy hot spring pool with a lower water temperature, and the other one is not very hot, probably to make you over-adapt. The real hot spring bath should be outdoors. There are 12-14 hot spring pools outdoors, such as red wine pool, Chinese medicine pool, petal pool, coffee pool, etc. Recommended

It is really convenient to go directly to Ninghai by high-speed rail. The owner of the B&amp;B drove a luxury car to pick us up. After putting down the luggage, we jumped into the hot spring. I came here once in the 1990s to enjoy the real natural hot spring. The environment and facilities here are even more perfect when I visit again. Enjoying the gift of nature in the embrace of the dense forests in the mountains warms the whole body and mind.
