We arrived at Taolu Street, the gateway and center of Taogong Island and the heart of the Dongqian Lake Resort. We strolled through the scenic Ningbo Old Wall, the Welcoming Qian Lake, the Lighthouse Tree, and other lakeside scenes, creating a leisurely and pleasant journey. We also enjoyed art exhibitions such as the Fishing Boat Mirror Art Installation and the Art Village.

Then we gathered and set off to the Ningbo Academician Center, where there was a super beautiful lawn, a famous tree, and old houses in the old hometown. The embankment in the middle of the lake looked like a rainbow lying on the waves. Xiayu Temple and Erling Temple faced each other across the lake. The scenery was everywhere, and every shot was a blockbuster!

12:30

We followed the island highway from the Academician Center, taking in the stunning scenery of Qian Lake along the way, and arrived at the artistic village of Limin. We continued along the lakeside village road, stopping at the Art Museum, Guanyin Hall, and a lakeside cafe. It was a great chill experience! Then, we enjoyed a delicious meal of Dongqian Lake snacks!

Afterwards, depending on your physical strength, you can walk along the lake embankment to and from the Little Putuo Temple in the lake to worship Guanyin and pray for blessings! (One-way 2km, round trip about 4km, scenic bus one-way 10/person)

Jianshe Village is also known as "Taolu"—a name that evokes a sense of story and charm. "Lu" refers to both the foot of the mountain and the surrounding forest. This name perfectly captures its position as the gateway and center of Taogong Mountain, reflecting the village's convenience and prosperity. The village itself was established during the Ming Dynasty, with residents primarily bearing surnames like Wang, Yu, Zhu, and Fang. However, the village wasn't actually founded until May 1949, earning it the name "Jianshe," a name that captures the spirit of the era. On November
6, 2024, Taolu, a model art district and fishing village, officially opened, becoming another rising internet sensation in Ningbo.
