    Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo, like a dazzling cultural pearl, is nestled in this historically rich city, exuding a unique and captivating charm. It is the oldest existing private library in my country, with a history of over 450 years, carrying profound cultural heritage and historical memories. Stepping into Tianyi Pavilion is like traveling through time, entering an ancient and precious historical river. Following the long, winding path, the plaque of "Southern Book City" comes into view; the dark red gate is solemn and mysterious, filling one with anticipation for the world within. The park still retains many of the original old building structures, allowing visitors to truly feel the weight of time and history.

    Ningbo Romon Global Park has been open for over ten years. Its design is very similar to Landworld in South Korea, a large-scale indoor and outdoor theme park that's unaffected by cold, heat, or rain 🌪. There's no fancy IP or storyline here, just pure thrills and speed ⚡. Even if you're too short to ride the outdoor roller coasters, pendulum rides, or drop towers, there are affordable indoor alternatives 👍🏻. We got in at 4 PM on National Day, and for a full four hours, our 1.3-meter-tall child tried all the rides available for her, which was quite an experience! Cleared the park! 🔚 The most memorable ride was the "Poseidon Adventure," pure terror and thrill! 🤣 From the moment the staff quietly helped Tangtang (a nickname) tighten her raincoat and said, "Your bangs can't be hidden anymore," I knew something was wrong. It was like a creepy version of "River Rapids" 💦 The interior had some connection to Poseidon, but there was absolutely no interaction. There was more than one descent, one scare after another, stemming from both the eeriness of the surrounding environment and the uncertainty of which slope would end… Even though we were bundled up, we still ended up soaked! ‼️ Afterwards, I was completely dazed. 🫣 Those with a weak stomach should avoid this paid attraction, 10 yuan per ride (includes raincoat and shoe covers). I must say, Romon is quite generous.

    This is a typical tourist attraction that's "full of stories but lacking in sights and entertainment." It's suitable for visitors with a deep interest in history, but ordinary families or those seeking entertainment may be disappointed. It is strongly recommended that the景区 management introduce more interactive technological elements and improve basic service facilities; otherwise, it would be a real disservice to such a valuable historical resource.

    The museum is relatively small and can be seen quickly, but it's combined with a bronze exhibit, so those interested can explore it more closely. The museum's exterior is also very beautiful. After your visit, you can buy some small souvenirs at the gift shop downstairs.

    Shipu Fishing Port Ancient Town is worth a visit! Strolling on the bluestone road built on the mountain, the ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties are scattered in an orderly manner, and the charm of time is everywhere. There are many exhibition halls in the city, which vividly display the fishing port culture. The seafood food is so fresh, and the fish balls and shrimp cakes are so delicious that you can't move your feet. When night falls, the fishing lights are lit, and the night view of the ancient port is beautiful. Any photo you take is a blockbuster. Immerse yourself in the unique charm of the thousand-year-old fishing port!

    Baisha Bay Beach: Adjacent to the Sheraton Hotel, its location outside the main scenic area exempts it from traffic restrictions, making it exceptionally popular. While the beach area isn't large, it boasts comprehensive amenities—delicious seafood noodles and local snacks are readily available, and recreational activities like tent camping and jet skiing are all within one place, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Xiasha (Juexi Beach): Much larger than Baisha Bay, it's a top choice for family outings, with dedicated slides for children to run around on. It's close to the county town, easily accessible from the city center on the way to Songlan Mountain. The beach is lined with various restaurants, and at night, live music bars offer performances, blending a lively atmosphere with artistic flair, creating a truly exceptional experience.

    Parking is convenient at the north gate. Borrowing a car costs 100 yuan per hour, with a maximum of 400 yuan. Feed the raccoons for 10 yuan each (apple). Feed the giraffes for 30 yuan each (leaves). Watched the Happy Theater (15 minutes). Watched the sea lion show (10 minutes). Saw the giant pandas and had Western food at the Panda Restaurant. Saw hippos, tigers, lions, and bears. The zoo is quite nice and perfect for families! I recommend renting a car; it's quite large and takes 2-3 hours to walk around.

    It was autumn break and a weekend, so there were a lot of tourists. The queues for popular attractions were long, but the kids had a great time. The most recommended attraction was the "Nuwa Mending the Sky" show, which had excellent effects. Also worth mentioning are the evening's iron flower performance and parade. Now for the downsides: First, food was quite expensive. A bowl of noodles with soybean paste cost 48 yuan, and a serving of fried chicken curry rice cost 68 yuan. Second, the queuing area was very dirty, with trash everywhere. This is understandable, given the large crowds and the staff being overwhelmed; many trash cans were overflowing. However, the main issue is that some tourists need to improve their behavior. Bringing your own trash bag wouldn't have been difficult.

    Running Park is a theme park with variety show IP as its core. It is located in Ningbo Xiangshan Sea Cinema. It has received a lot of praise since its opening. The following is a detailed introduction: - Distinctive theme: As the first park in the country with variety show IP as its core, it incorporates variety show elements such as "Running Man" into it. The classic stalks of the show and the theme areas built according to the characteristics of the members can be seen everywhere in the park, which can make variety show fans feel a strong sense of substitution, as if they have walked into the world of TV. - Rich entertainment projects: The park has 6 major theme areas and 75+ projects. There are projects suitable for tourists who seek excitement, such as the "Running to the Sky" roller coaster with a 90-degree vertical dive and the 270-degree pendulum. There are also parent-child must-play projects, such as Asia's largest double-decker carousel and children's digital experience hall. There is also a poetic and picturesque Zhejiang Flying Cinema, which allows tourists to experience the beauty of Zhejiang from a first-person perspective. - Shocking visual effects: The "Blue Dream" block has an 18-meter-long 8K LED giant screen, which allows tourists to instantly travel to every corner of the poetic and picturesque Jiangnan through digital technology. The China Blue Experience Hall is also equipped with various film and television special effects interactive equipment, such as green screen technology that allows visitors to transform into variety show guests in a second, which is very immersive. - High photo output rate: The color matching of the park is very variety, and the overall visual aesthetics are online. Whether it is the architecture or the landscape layout of the park, it is very suitable for taking pictures. Even without a professional photographer, you can take good-looking photos. - High cost performance: There is also a Republic of China theme film and television base Sea Legend next to the park. Visitors can play two scenic spots with one ticket. Not only can they experience amusement projects, but they can also dress up and take photos, experience spy war decryption, and the cost performance is super high. However, some tourists also reported that there are some shortcomings in the park, such as the project operation service is not mature enough, the staff operation efficiency needs to be improved, resulting in a long queue time for some projects.
