City Nights View🌆

Spent a night in the underrated city of Ningbo and found a hidden gem for dinner with skyline views 🌃 Honestly, if you’re chasing that “best dinner view in Shanghai” vibe but want something local and less crowded, CHEN HOUSE‧Champion Tower delivers!

Must-See:
Start your evening at Ningbo’s Lao Wai Tan area, known for its blend of modern architecture and riverside charm. Head straight to CHEN HOUSE·Champion Tower (老外滩外马路107号, Former Bank of China building). Go early to score a seat by the window or outdoors—you’ll get a killer overlook of the city lights and the buzzing outdoor cultural scene.

The Food:
The menu mixes classic Ningbo flavors with clever plating—seafood’s a highlight, and the cocktails hit the spot. Service is efficient and friendly. Book ahead if you can, especially on weekends!

Travel Hacks:
Getting Around: Grab a cab or use local ride-hailing apps—Ningbo’s metro closes earlier than Shanghai, so don’t be caught out. Lao Wai Tan is walkable if you’re staying nearby!
Personal Tip: For that perfect photo, visit just as dusk hits and the towers light up. Outdoor seats give you panoramic cityscape shots – totally worthy for your feed.
Money: Most places accept Alipay/WeChat Pay; bring some cash if you’re venturing further.

Weather Update: Nights by the water can get breezy—bring a light jacket or a wrap if you plan to hang outside for drinks!
