Recently, Ningbo has been melting from the heat🔥
Sweat for two hours after just five minutes outside
As a local Ningbo native + certified tour guide, Jojo tells you, if you want to go out and play, find water—summer cooling belongs only to Siming Mountain!!
🚗 Secret summer cooling route:
Xikou → Xuedou Temple → Shanglianggang → Dong'ao → Beixi → Siming Mountain Town
Temperature drops 0.6°C for every 100 meters in elevation
Estimated temperature🌡️ is 8-10 degrees lower than the city!! After all, walking in the mountains, this heat is still bearable; in the city, it’s like an oven.
Mountain breeze, streams, and forests feel pretty good~
💦 Water play spot reviews:
▫️ Beixi Ginkgo Forest: The stream has been modified and feels more commercial
▫️ Dong'ao Ancient Village: Few people, beautiful scenery! Encountered a wild little waterfall🌊
▫️ Siming Mountain Town: Lizhou Stream is clear💧 Yulin Dam is under construction, looks like it will be great for photos once finished
📚 Discovered a hidden gem midway stop!
[Siming Mountain Tang Poetry Book House Noodle Shop]
👉 Next to the bus center + free parking + creek view seating
✨ Stunning highlights:
✔️ Beijing boss lady hand-pulls noodles on the spot! The zhajiangmian sauce is rich and flavorful
✔️ Dumpling skins are thin with big fillings🥟 One bite takes you back to the hutongs
✔️ Entire wall of books to browse freely📖 Eat noodles and read at the same time
✔️ Window seats face Lizhou Stream, listening to the flowing water while slurping noodles is so healing
🍜 Ordering tips:
“Old Beijing Zhajiangmian”
“Various handmade dumplings”
💡 Tips:
1️⃣ Recommend leaving before 10 AM to avoid afternoon thunderstorms
2️⃣ For Dong'ao Waterfall, navigate to "Dong'ao Village Committee" then walk 15 minutes
A 31°C summer should be wasted between mountains and waters💚
