Don’t just know Dali anymore! This treasure place in Ningbo is sparsely populated and has stunning scenery

Do you want to avoid the crowds during the holidays and find a small and beautiful spot where you can take your kids for a walk? Last weekend, we drove on a two-day and one-night trip to Ningbo Dongqian Lake. This place is known as the "Little Erhai Lake" in Ningbo. We were deeply amazed by it when we first arrived. Let me share with you our itinerary~

A quick overview of the tour route

🌟Day1: Academician Center→Cordis Hotel
🌟Day2: Hanling Art Museum→Hanling Old Street→Guojiazhi Village

Details of the wonderful itinerary

Day1: A poetic beginning and a comfortable residence

- Morning: Head towards the Academician Center of Dongqian Lake. This is the filming location of the popular TV series "My Human Fireworks". If you stroll along the corridor, you can encounter the internet-famous tree 🌳. Standing next to the tree, gazing at the Dongqian Lake in the distance, feeling the breeze on your face, you will naturally feel comfortable.
- Noon: Arrive at Cordis Hotel Dongqian Lake🏨, which is one of the few family-friendly resort hotels in Dongqian Lake. The hotel has a unique Chinese style, showing elegant style🏮. We stayed in a deluxe garden-view king room, and from the terrace of the room we could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongqian Lake. The hotel also has two indoor and outdoor children's playgrounds, where children have a lot of fun as soon as they enter💕. The indoor hot spring pool is a water park for children in winter, where they are reluctant to leave after having so much fun.
- Evening: After playing, you can enjoy dinner at the hotel's Ming Court Chinese Restaurant. The ingredients here are extremely fresh and the dishes are very popular with children.

Day 2: Art walk, ancient village exploration

- Morning: After breakfast at the hotel, head to Hanling Art Museum. The art museum has a unique shape, and the lawn at the entrance alone is a great photo-taking spot.
- Noon: Move to Hanling Old Street. This ancient water village is adjacent to the Hanling Art Museum. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, exuding a strong Dali and Lijiang style. You may want to charter a black-sailed boat, drift leisurely and quietly appreciate the charming scenery of the lake.
- Afternoon: We originally planned to go to Limin Village, but it was crowded and traffic was congested, so we went to Gaojiazhi Village instead. In Dongqian Lake, this village is relatively small and has few tourists. Strolling through it is relaxing and pleasant, and it has the charm of a small village by the Erhai Lake. There are two coffee shops at the entrance of the village. The photos taken in front of them are particularly good!

Dongqian Lake is worthy of being called the "Little Erhai Lake" of Ningbo. You can relax your whole body and mind by coming here for vacation in your spare time. If you don’t know where to go during the holidays, why not come to Dongqian Lake and enjoy the beauty of nature~
