[2025 Ninghai Attraction] Travel Guide for (Updated Aug)

Spring has arrived, nature is awakening, and it's time to immerse yourself in the natural world for a refreshing oxygen-filled journey! Today I'm sharing an excellent spring hiking route in Ninghai that allows you to check in at Ninghai Anlan, Longgong Ancient Village, Yancang Mountain, and Forest Hot Springs all in one trip, letting you fully enjoy the beauty of spring~ 🌳 Ninghai Anlan 📍 Address: 1888 Wenquan Road, Shenshu Town, Ninghai County Hidden among bamboo forests and mountains, Ninghai Anlan is like a secluded paradise. Each villa here comes with a private courtyard and hot spring pool, offering exceptional privacy. Wake up to birdsong in the morning, open your window to a sea of green, and take a deep breath of air rich in negative ions. Stroll along the hotel's pathways, wander through bamboo groves and streams, encounter various adorable small animals, and feel your body and mind being healed by nature. 🏮 Longgong Ancient Village 📍 Address: Longgong Village, Shenshu Town, Ninghai County This ancient village with nearly a thousand years of history seems forgotten by time, exuding a rustic and peaceful atmosphere everywhere. The village preserves many ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with white walls and black tiles, upturned eaves that appear even more charming under the warm spring sunshine. Walk along the stone paths of the ancient village, watch the gently flowing streams, and feel the slow passage of time. By the stream stands a 400-year-old tree with strong, twisted branches shaped like a dragon, guarding this ancient village. ⛰️ Yancang Mountain 📍 Address: Shanxialiu Village, Meilin Street, Ninghai County Yancang Mountain is like a natural landscape painting, with overlapping peaks, babbling brooks, and cascading waterfalls. In spring, it's even more beautiful with blooming wildflowers. The hiking trails here are moderately difficult, perfect for families with children and outdoor beginners. Walk along the winding mountain paths, breathe in the fresh air, admire the scenery along the way, and experience nature's magnificent craftsmanship. Climb to the summit and look down at the entire valley for that feeling of "standing at the highest peak, looking down at all the mountains below" that fills you with excitement. ♨️ Forest Hot Springs When you're tired, go soak in the forest hot springs! The hot spring water here comes from deep underground, rich in various minerals and trace elements beneficial to the human body. The water is clear and at a comfortable temperature. Soak in the warm spring water while looking at the surrounding green trees and mountains, allowing your tired body and mind to completely relax. Besides hot springs, the scenic area also offers various leisure and entertainment facilities for you to enjoy a pleasant time. 🚗 Transportation Guide: Self-driving is recommended, about a 1.5-hour drive from Ningbo city center. ⏰ Itinerary: Day 1: Arrive at Ninghai Anlan in the morning to check in, rest a bit, then stroll and take photos around the hotel to enjoy leisure time; visit Longgong Ancient Village in the afternoon to experience its historical charm; return to the hotel in the evening to relax in the hot springs.

Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province is famous for its rich hot spring resources. The Ninghai Hanya Kaiyuan Hot Spring, where we stayed during the typhoon season, is a natural hot spring hotel located in the Yancang Valley. Less than 2 kilometers away from the hotel, there is a waterfall with few people and beautiful scenery - Yancang Mountain Waterfall, which is also the filming location of "Snow Sword". This time, the typhoon had just passed, and the water volume was very large. You can hear the roar of the waterfall while passing through a green rice field. There are also popular swings, bamboo rafts and other check-in spots next to the waterfall. The key is that there are few people and it is free, so you can enjoy the rare scenery in the green valley of Cangshan.
