Recently, many interesting places in Ningbo have been bustling with people, especially on weekends. Seize the 'tail' of spring and embark on a short trip that takes you anywhere!
Camping Continues to be Popular
In recent years, camping has become a trend for people to enjoy leisure time, especially young people. In Ningbo, more and more people are choosing a sunny weekend to camp nearby.
Nowadays, some camping sites are built based on scenic spots, which can divert tourist flow to achieve precise marketing and boost popularity. For example, the companion camp located in the Banbian shan Tourist Resort has a scale of 100,000 square meters and about a hundred campsites for customers to choose from. "Currently, the camp's revenue this spring is good, better than that in last year," the camp manager, Shi Jingbo, told the correspondent.
At the same time, new campsites have sprung up. "Just this month, we launched a new camping site called 'Sky Camp' on Fuquan Mountain, with an altitude of over 500 meters, which is the highest camping site in the Dongqian Lake area." Dong Min, manager of the Dongqian Lake Scenic Area Management Co., Ltd., said that the company currently has three campsites: Shangshui Campsite, Mashan Campsite, and Sky Camp. "The popularity of this spring is on par with last year, and the maximum daily passenger flow of Shangshui Campsite is nearly a thousand people."
According to several outdoor experts, camping sites in Tianfei Lake in Fenghua, Qing River Bank in Haishu, Qinshan Village in Zhenhai, Happy Coast Ecological Park in Yinzhou, Ningbo Botanical Garden, and other places are also quite popular at present. "Taking Fenghua as an example, the ShanhaiGuanye Luxury Camp in the Huangxian National Forest Park Scenic Area and the Jin'e Mountain Camping Site at the top of the Jin'e Mountain Forest Park, due to their outstanding landscape, there are also many people who come for team building in addition to relaxation." said by an outdoor expert.
Emerging Experiential Tourism
On April 17th, in front of the cultural auditorium of Xiayu Village in Qiangjiao Town, Ninghai County, a parent-child research and learning experience activity attracted tourists and parent-child families to participate.
"What a big ship, what a beautiful sea! Let's go over and take a look!" On the seaside hiking trail next to Xue'ao Pier, the children saw a fisherman couple repairing their fishing nets, their fingers flexibly rotating between the nets and weaving a damaged mesh with a shuttle. Everyone eagerly picked up the shuttle and shuttle back and forth between the mesh under the guidance of the fisherman, threading, knotting, and threading… "I succeeded!" A child excitedly displayed his completed fishing network.
Through a fishing culture exploration journey that integrates ocean, culture, environmental protection, and communication, parents and children are experiencing and exploring the unique fishing culture of Xue'ao Fishing Township.
At present, it is also a good season to go beachcombing. Starting from the central urban area of Ningbo, drive for over an hour to Xiangshan Longdong Pier. Go beachcombing with your family to feel the clear breath of the sea in spring. Use the ebb tide time to pick up some delicious seafood on the mudflat. That will be an interesting experience.
The key to beach comb is 'rushing', which means early, timely, and fast. Because the time at the lowest tide is limited, if you want to harvest more seafood, you need to act before the tide rises; Secondly, when catching fast-moving seafood such as crabs and shrimp, it is important to be quick; Thirdly, shellfish hidden in sediment (such as razor clams) and attached to reefs (such as oysters) can be time-consuming to collect, so it is important to act early.
Conch, razor clam, small crab, oyster, small fish, shrimp, and even some unknown sea creatures…The joy of rushing to the sea lies in being filled with various unknowns, you never know what you will dig up and discover in the next second.
Appreciate the Beautiful Scenery
In April, the ten thousand-mu peach orchards in Hu Chen Township were bustling with flowers, becoming intoxicating. The parking lot outside the peach orchard was filled with private cars, and tourists wandered in the ocean of flowers, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the peach orchard and smelling the fragrance of spring flowers.
In addition to sightseeing, Huchen Township also provides tourists with diverse ways to amuse themselves, such as rural camping, nature education, outdoor sports, etc., allowing tourists to dig local potatoes and make black glutinous rice cake, experience paragliding flights in the air, and tease cute pets in children's parks. All are making the flower appreciation journey more colourful.
Renowned as the most beautiful windmill road in Ningbo, the peak of Tengjia'ao in Song'ao Town, Fenghua District, features the blossom of high mountain rhododendrons, attracting tourists to view and relax. At the top of Tengjia'ao Mountain, with an average elevation of 500 meters, the pink and red rhododendrons bloom all over the mountain slope, and the vast flowers are as beautiful as an oil painting.
In order to create a high mountain garden in Song'ao Town, nearly 10,000 wild rhododendrons have been transplanted on Tengjia'ao Mountain, with a wide variety of species that can be seen from mid to late April to early May.
