A friend suggested coming to Ningbo before the fishing ban to eat a meal of "or the so-called spring" Ningbo seafood. The first meal was arranged at Qianhu Pavilion of Hilton Hotel in Dongqian Lake. Qianhu Pavilion Chinese Restaurant is listed as one of the "most worthwhile hotel restaurants in China" by KOL. It is also a culmination of Ningbo cuisine and East China Sea seafood, and it perfectly interprets the "salty and fresh combination" of Ningbo cuisine. The Eighteen Cuts of Warm Crab, a freshly frozen live crab, is the signature dish of Chef Wang Pingjie. It is fresh, sweet and delicious and you can’t stop eating it. The green-skin snails unique to Dongqian Lake are stir-fried with shredded pork belly. People in the north are not good at sucking snails, so licking the soup is also a pleasure. Home-cooked jumping shrimps are just like the shrimp and crab soldiers beating drums. You won’t be able to enjoy this delicacy during the fishing ban period. The peach blossom mullet braised in leek oil is the most tender, while the sixteen pieces stewed with bamboo shoots and pickled mustard greens are the most flavorful (the fish gets its name because of its sixteen hard spines). The finale of the dish, rice with hairtail, vegetables and taro, ended the meal perfectly. The salty and fresh taste and the feast of lakes and seas are all delicious at Qianhu Pavilion.

On cold and windy winter days, most people yearn for the warm sunshine and beaches in the south, but they don’t know that Ningbo, a city located on the coast of the East China Sea, is exuding its unique winter charm.

Every moment of the three days I spent here was full of surprises and touching moments. I hope this guide can help you spend an unforgettable winter trip in Ningbo and discover the unique beauty of this city.

While Taiyuan is still shivering in the cold wind of minus ten degrees, the moist wind of Ningbo has already brought the waves of Dongqian Lake to us. The moment the waiter opened the car door, our family vacation for the Year of the Snake began. A few seagulls flew over the lake, and it turned out that the reunion was in a different latitude and longitude, and even the wrinkles of time would ripple with warmth. The bellboys wore red scarves 🧣 and stood in front of the lobby to welcome guests. After confirming that we were guests, they took the large luggage off the car and put it on the luggage cart. The entrance is made of solid wood doors and copper animal head door rings of traditional Jiangnan houses. When you step into the hotel lobby, you will be greeted by New Year decorations and a festive atmosphere. After the front desk recognized my Hilton Honors membership, they upgraded me to a side lake view room and arranged several rooms together. They also supported digital room keys, which can be applied for on the app. The carpet in the corridor leading to the guest rooms is like a landscape painting, reminding us that this is a resort hotel. The hotel is located by the lake, and the floor-to-ceiling windows, viewing terraces, and open corridors create a "borrowing scenery" effect. When we opened the guest room, the spacious room, open balcony, large bathtub, and rich welcome gifts surprised the whole family! The guest room is so large that it can even be divided into a suite. Although it is a large flat design, each functional area is very clear. The double washbasin is equipped with a Dyson hair dryer, which is not common in hotels of this level, showing the owner's care. The hotel is mainly decorated in black, gray, and gold, with landscape as the design core. The integration of architecture and landscape creates a low-key and luxurious vacation atmosphere, which retains the philosophy of traditional Chinese architecture and integrates the simplicity and practicality of modern design. Adjacent to the Huamao Museum of Art and Education, there are many Western classical sculpture replicas (such as "David" and "Discobolus") in the lobby, corridors, and other public areas. The hotel is mainly for family vacations, and the "Xi" Fun Kids Club provides a 2,600-square-meter indoor and outdoor play area, suitable for the whole family to interact. The lakeside trails, cycling routes, and boat docks are suitable for family leisure. Hanling Old Street and Ningbo Academician Center are all worth checking out. If you want to go to the city, it is very convenient to take a taxi, and it is not far. The hotel's Chinese restaurant, Qianhu Pavilion, is the first choice for Yong cuisine, which has won numerous awards. I have already sent a detailed report, so I won't go into details. The three-day and two-night arrangement will not make you feel bored at all. In the blink of an eye, we are leaving, and the joy of our family for these three days has already been brewed into a pearl-like memory. It turns out that the so-called New Year is just a period of landscape, allowing ordinary family affection to be tempered into a glass-like luster. See you again!

Hilton Ningbo Dongqian Lake Resort: The perfect choice for a family vacation This past weekend, my family and I took a trip to Ningbo. The heat was unbearable, with temperatures reaching nearly 40°C, so we decided to forgo a city walk and instead enjoy a relaxing time at a family-friendly resort. The Hilton Ningbo Dongqian Lake Resort, located on the shores of Dongqian Lake in Ningbo's backyard, was the perfect destination. The hotel is in a prime location at 99 Lianxin Road, Dongqian Lake Tourist Resort, Yinzhou District, Ningbo, surrounded by water and mountains. It's only a 3.5-hour drive from Shanghai. The hotel is nestled between the mountains and the lake, offering breathtaking views. After dinner, a stroll along the lake is a great way to relax and unwind. The hotel is filled with Western-style paintings and sculptures, creating a rich artistic atmosphere. The lake-view rooms offer stunning views of Dongqian Lake. The hotel has many unique attractions that add endless fun to a family vacation. The indoor and outdoor pools each have their own charm, with the outdoor infinity pool being especially attractive in the summer. The semi-open water play pool offers a refreshing experience while avoiding sun exposure, and the water slide is a hit with the kids. The themed giant slide is located outdoors and is best experienced in the early morning or evening. The indoor play area is air-conditioned and is a paradise for kids to play and have fun. The outdoor climbing facility has four challenge lines and is popular with young adventurers. The indoor go-kart track offers a 10-minute driving experience that excites boys. The semi-open sand digging area even has excavators for kids to operate. In terms of dining, the "Lakeside" all-day dining restaurant offers buffet breakfast and dinner. In the hot weather, we chose to enjoy the buffet dinner at the hotel. The restaurant offers a wide variety of sashimi, special Ningbo seafood, and unlimited Häagen-Dazs ice cream, which was a hit with everyone. In addition, the hotel is very pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their dogs and cats to designated pet rooms, making it possible to vacation with pets. Here, kids can have fun, and parents can relax and enjoy their vacation, making it the ideal family vacation destination.

This is my first time visiting Ningbo Dongqian Lake. I was really impressed by the autumn colors. In the clear autumn weather, under the bright sunshine, It's really comparable to the scenery in Dali. This time I stayed at Hilton Ningbo Dongqian Lake Hotel The hotel is built by the lake. Yinwan Village, a fishing village across the lake, is close to the water and the mountains. Thousands of square meters of outdoor lawn, close to the lake and mountains, Sitting on the long lakeshore, facing the misty lake, The fishing fires of Yinwan Village are across the lake. There are lakeside trails and a boat dock. Surrounded by scenic spots, The Huamao Art Education Museum is just around the corner. Younger Zoo is 1.1 km away. Taogong Island Scenic Area, Fuquan Mountain, Hanling Old Street, etc. are all within a 25-minute drive. The hotel has rich facilities and is especially suitable for taking children out The indoor heated swimming pool is open for swimming in all seasons. Equipped with children's pool and wet and dry pool Steam, The outdoor swimming pool is not open in autumn, but it can be used as a landscape check-in. Indoor heated swimming pool The guest rooms start at 43 square meters and are quite comfortable. What attracted me most was the bathtub in this room. It was big enough for two people to lie in it. All rooms have balconies, even those with garden views. The outdoor scenery is also very nice.

When you come to Hilton Ningbo Dongqian Lake Resort, you will feel a strong modern atmosphere. The hotel is family-friendly, with large bathtubs in the rooms, where children and adults can play together and participate in various hotel activities, making the family feel harmonious and happy. The hotel breakfast is delicious, and the Chinese food is good. It's a happy weekend for the whole family. 😃

A great way for college students to relax on the weekends. After a hard week of classes, you are both physically and mentally exhausted. So you can choose a hotel to relax and get rid of the odor. I call this a new way to maintain health. I stayed in this hotel once in the first half of the year. My first impression was good. As I was craving for tennis, I booked a basic room and upgraded it to a superb lake view king room with a D card. Highlights worth my second review: 1. The hotel is located by Dongqian Lake. The rooms have a great view of the lake. The surrounding environment and scenery are unique in Ningbo. It is very comfortable to take a walk around the lake in the evening. (Why not Park Hyatt? First, I am not a ball player, and second,...) 2. What I like most is the comprehensive gymnasium of this hotel, which is on the second underground floor. It has two ping-pong tables, two badminton courts, a basketball court and a billiard room. All equipment is provided free of charge, and the badminton rackets are actually Yonex! Because it is indoors, even if there is a typhoon outside it will not affect my passion for playing ball at all. 3. Bathroom! As shown on the cover, the entire floor-to-ceiling window is matched with a super large bathtub. This bathtub is more than enough for two or three people to take a bath together (not recommended). The unobstructed glass view of the lake is really amazing. The hair dryer is also a Dyson one, and the double basins are super spacious. Dining Experience: 1. The afternoon tea in the lounge is quite satisfactory, with all kinds of fruit cuts, soft drinks and snacks (sandwiches, small cakes, cookies), which are suitable for chatting while enjoying the lake view. 2. The lounge happy hour is in the form of a set menu this time. I personally think the food is much better than the previous buffet style. The beef noodles, desserts, and wontons are all very delicious. To be honest, there are many types of 9️⃣, and the beer is Heineken. 3. I think the breakfast is just so-so. The highlight is the seafood noodles, which have a lot of ingredients and are very fresh. The ice cream is also delicious. The only freshly squeezed juice is watermelon juice. (Friends with sufficient budget can go to the Chinese restaurant Qianhu Pavilion to experience the Black Pearl Restaurant) Personal suggestions and points to note⚠️: 1. Try to avoid holidays. This hotel is labeled as a family-friendly hotel. When there are many people, the experience of playing in the gym is greatly reduced. Secondly, the lounge and restaurant are noisy, which is completely different from the quiet dining and lake view when there are fewer people. 2. Please note that the minbar in the room is charged! The prices are also much more expensive than those sold outside (if you don’t care, just ignore what I said)

Ningbo Dongqian Lake Hilton Hotel ‼️Transportation: It's quite convenient to get to the hotel from Ningbo Station by taxi in 30 minutes. It also takes about half an hour to get to downtown Ningbo by taxi. ‼️Price: We went on a weekday. The price for a family room is about CNY 1,500 per night. Breakfast is CNY 118 per person. ‼️Overall advantages 1. The location is not bad. It's by Dongqian Lake. It's quite comfortable to take a walk after dinner. The occupancy rate is low on weekdays. 2. The overall service is not bad. The concierge service is in place. The front desk staff are quite friendly. 3. The family room is fully equipped with a small toilet seat and toiletries. There are small tents and a small kitchen, suitable for babies. 4. My favorite part is a Chinese restaurant called Qianhu Pavilion, which is rated as a Black Pearl. Every dish is very good! The price is a bit expensive. 5. The room has a super large bathtub, which is great. 6. There are activities suitable for children in the hotel: slides, small excavators, carousels, go-karts, etc. The front desk will give you a free play stamp when you check in. ‼️Some disadvantages: 1. There are only 2 family rooms on each floor, all in L-shaped corners. There are no family rooms with lake views, so there is no view. I originally proposed to change to a room with a lake view the next day, but most of them are double rooms. 2. After setting up tents and a small kitchen in the room, the original coffee table and chairs were moved to the side, which was very crowded. It is recommended that the family room can remove the coffee table and a large chair. 3. The toilet seat in the bathroom is a bit old and has turned yellow. 4. The kettle is a traditional kettle, which looks a bit unsanitary. 5. The drinks in the minibar are actually charged. The minibar in the InterContinental Qiandao Lake Hotel we stayed in before was free, and a box of milk was delivered to the baby every day. In comparison, this is a bit less preferential treatment for family rooms~ The overall experience is indeed not as good as our last stay at the InterContinental Qiandao Lake Hotel (see the previous note), but there are no major bugs. The overall feeling is also okay😌 We took our baby to Xiaoputuo, the Academician Center, and Hanling Ancient Town. Basically, you can call a special car at the hotel, but you need to wait a little longer. One time we only got a taxi, and my baby was vomited by the taxi driver in Ningbo... In fact, if you want to be closer to Xiaoputuo and the Academician Center, it would be more convenient to choose Park Hyatt. It's easy to take good photos at the Hilton Hotel. It's even more beautiful when the weather is good! The outdoor swimming pool is now closed, and the indoor one is quite large! Remember to wear a swimming cap
