[2025 Yuyao Attraction] Travel Guide for Hemudu Site Museum (Updated Apr)

After my March trip to Ningbo, I can confidently say that this city is a magical music box! In the morning, it's filled with the aroma of sticky rice cakes. At noon, it transforms into a scene from the past with its blue brick and black tile houses. At night, it becomes a neon theater with the scent of seafood.✨ 🌸Picture-Perfect Sakura Park Search for "Sakura Park Station Exit B" on your map app, and you'll find 26 varieties of cherry blossoms, creating a natural photo studio! Arrive before 9am to have the entire pink wonderland to yourself. Tell your friends to use "Portrait Mode" on their phones for overhead shots, and the falling cherry blossom petals will automatically become the backdrop. 💡Secret Tip: Take photos against the light at 4pm with a pinwheel. The shadows of the petals on your face will look like a natural filter. 👗Outfit Recommendation: A light-colored sweater + denim skirt. Twirling under the cherry blossom trees makes for super energetic photos. Last week, I ran into a photography group in Hanfu and managed to sneak in three ancient-style photos, saving myself a 299 RMB photoshoot fee.😂 🚴Dongqian Lake Cycling Guide Avoid the crowds at the main entrance! Set your navigation to "Hanling Old Street Parking Lot." Walk through the reed marshes to discover the misty lake scenery, and rent a shared electric bike for a ride around the lake (choose the model with an 80km range). The S-shaped curves are perfect for cinematic videos. Remember to wear ice sleeves (the UV rays are strong enough to melt ice cream)🍦. ⚠️Fun Fact: The fish scale dam looks most beautiful against the light at 3pm, but be careful of the moss on the stone slabs. Last week, I found wild mulberries here. They were so sour they made my teeth hurt, but a boatman gave me a plum candy. 🏺A Blast from 7,000 Years Ago The Hemudu Site Museum is ten times more impressive than what you see in textbooks! Standing in the reconstructed stilt houses, looking at the glimmering carbonized rice grains, I suddenly understood the romance of the ancient people when they blew their bone whistles. 🎁Souvenir Surprise: Get a black pottery cup + rice ear bookmark set for 38 RMB. It's a better deal than the 20 RMB imitation pottery jars at the entrance. ⚠️Heads Up: The museum is closed on Mondays! If you're bringing kids, rent an AR guide. The animated presentations are super interesting. Here, I was mistaken for a guide by some elementary school students and ended up giving a half-hour impromptu presentation on "pig-patterned pottery bowls."😂 🍜Secret Menu at Nantang Old Street The vendor in the blue apron has a secret menu! Use the code phrase "add fermented bean curd" to unlock the grilled vegetable rice cakes, 10 RMB/serving, so sticky they can be pulled into strings. At noon, look out for the seafood fried rice noodles, made with fresh crab scraps. 🦀Must-Try: The 20 RMB drunken mud snails are marinated in yellow wine for 48 hours. One sip will send you to heaven. Here are three tips for picking red cream crabs: The shell should be translucent red, the legs should be springy, and a triangular-shaped navel indicates the plumpest crab. 🌳Siming Mountain Hiking Surprise Xufu Rock Waterfall is ten times wilder than the typical tourist spots! Wear non-slip sandals on the glass walkway, and you might even encounter a wild cherry blossom shower in March. Here's a secret: On Tuesday afternoons, the mountain people release bamboo rafts to catch fish in the stream. It's a perfect spot for ancient-style photos. 🎒Gear List: A mini mosquito repellent + a folding stool will make you the envy of everyone as you watch the sunset. Last time, I cosplayed as a tea picker and was mistaken for an NPC, ending up teaching tourists how to pose for half an hour.😂 Spring in Ningbo is hidden in the arc of falling cherry blossoms, in the fragrance of mugwort from steaming qingtuan, and in the silvery laughter of children running past the old city walls with pinwheels in hand. You must visit Ningbo in March to experience the city's gentleness and vibrancy. After all, some scenery, like drunken mud snails marinated in yellow wine, is hard to replicate once the season is over.🌿

Yuyao Yangming Hot Spring Resort is a place I visit every year. The hot springs are super comfortable in winter, and also great in summer. In summer, you can also escape the heat, pick fruit, and go cycling. There is a tea plantation behind the hotel, which you can visit without leaving the hotel. The hotel actually has many room types to choose from: 1. The hot spring motel has separate rooms, with parking on the first floor and rooms on the second floor. You can enjoy the hot springs indoors. It's absolutely quiet and comfortable. 2. Private hot spring rooms, where you can enjoy the hot springs in the courtyard, giving you an open-air hot spring experience. In summer, you can rent a bike from the hotel and cycle up the mountain road to see the Shuangxi Waterfall, which is even more beautiful in the rainy season. If you have the energy, you can continue cycling up the mountain, where there are mainly tea plantations. In summer, you can drive out of the hotel to a vineyard on Guzha Road. The prices are very reasonable and the taste is amazing. You can pick grapes in the greenhouse. With the acceleration of municipal construction, this vineyard may be relocated one day. Of course, there is also a place selling red dragon fruit on the way to the hot springs, which is grown at home and can be picked by yourself. However, due to flooding in the past two years, it takes 3 years to replant the dragon fruit. After a tiring day, a soak in the hot springs at night will relieve your fatigue. It's perfect for a relaxing vacation, especially in summer. Tips: Nearby attractions: The nearby attractions include the Foguang Zen Temple and the Hemudu Site Museum. If you have time, you can visit Siming Mountain, although opinions are mixed. Personally, I prefer to visit the Danshan Chishui Scenic Area, which is even more beautiful in late autumn. The persimmons in Shilin Village are full of branches, and the red persimmons are perfect for taking photos.

I finally made it to the Hemudu Site from my middle school history book! 🚶 The site is not very big, divided into a museum and a site, and can be visited in 2 hours. The museum is not very big, and even on weekends, there are not many people, and there is a free tour guide. The exhibits are very interesting, and some of the more representative artifacts seem to have appeared in history books? After the museum, you can go to the site, which is as interesting as the museum, with a good garden landscape design 🤗, small streams running through it, green trees and the fragrance of grass, and the cool river breeze just right to neutralize the scorching sun. The scenic area is designed to preserve some of the original features while combining modern aesthetics, which is a great experience. 🍃 There are many wooden pillars and pottery jars at the excavation site, and I don't understand why those pottery jars are left in place and not taken away for preservation ❗️ There are several modern imitation stilt buildings past the excavation site. It's a bit sunny outside, and I didn't expect it to be a bit cooler inside the stilt buildings, with a full straw aroma in the air 🍁. You can keep some under the building, and this is the environment where the ancestors lived, and I'm lucky to experience it. After walking through the stilt buildings, there is a small square, and then there is the Hemudu Culture logo sculpture, and finally the ferry at the riverbank 👣, and the surrounding area is all rural, and the small store here is just like the one at the riverbank in my hometown. ❗️
