Ningbo, Zhejiang | Terracotta Warriors by Dongqian Lake - Southern Song Dynasty Stone Carving Park

In the north, there are the Terracotta Warriors of Qinling, and in the south, there are the stone carvings of Qianhu. Ningbo Southern Song Dynasty Stone Carving Park is located in Ningbo, Zhejiang, a little-known attraction even among locals. As you venture deeper into the park, you'll discover pagodas standing tall in the wilderness. Turning your head, you'll see civil and military officials covered in moss quietly watching you from the overgrown sacred path. Walking through the mountains and fields, you may feel like you've entered the world of The Lost Tomb. This park, themed around stone carvings, was established in September 2006. Centered around the tomb path of Shi Jian, Duke of Qi of the Southern Song Dynasty, the park collects stone carvings scattered in the valleys and ravines near Dongqian Lake to form various attractions. After two expansions, the park now includes the tomb path of Shi Jian (a national key cultural relic protection unit), the tomb path of Shi Manqing, and the tomb of Bao Zhen. It also features ten tourist attractions, including the Three Character Classic Square, the ancient archway path, and the folk art wall. Travel tips ❶ The park has a hiking loop, the Southern Song Dynasty Stone Carving - Baijiling Ancient Path. The route is not difficult, covering over 11 km. Even with a visit to the park, it only takes four to five hours. ❷ There is a parking lot at the park entrance, costing CNY 10 per visit. ❸ The park is suitable for all weather.
