Temple in the sky Buddha in the clouds watching over all beings A 2h45 drive from Hangzhou A cheap and great place for a light vacation A beautiful place for ancient style photos 🕹Ningbo, Zhejiang, Xiyu Temple 💫On the top of the clouds in the deep mountains, there is a secluded temple with no villages, no pilgrims, no tourists, only a monk, year after year, guarding this mountain, this temple, this person, this life. To go to Xiyu Temple, you need to drive through a large section of abandoned buildings and bumpy mountain roads. 🦋There are no residents in the mountains, and there are no vehicles coming and going. The Buddha statue with a smile at the corner of his mouth flashes past the window. For a moment, I think of the opening scene of Spirited Away. It's really fresh to have such a travel experience in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. 🦋In the backyard of the temple, there is a forest of stone pagodas, facing the cliff. Under the sunset and sea of clouds, only the sound of the wind blowing through the forest and the birds returning to their nests can be heard. It feels like all obsessions can be let go at this moment... The Buddha in the clouds watches over all beings, The world, in all its forms, is nothing more than the rise and fall of the sun and moon, and the cycle of day and night. 🌸The meaning of travel Is nothing more than carrying the lightest luggage, and the most abundant self, in search of a moment of peace in the world... Off the beaten path: 5 stars Play: 3 stars Photo: 5 stars 🔴tips 🔆The temple is not big, the front hall is under construction, the playability is not high, but the stone pagodas in the backyard are really beautiful, it is recommended to play along with the surrounding ancient towns 🔆The mountain is high and the road is broken! Be prepared You have to drive a long section of broken mountain road, small cars are OK, but you need some driving skills, it is recommended for photography lovers and people who can appreciate quietly! 🔆Bring your own dry food, there are no shops to buy food

Ninghai | Dragon Palace, a hidden ancient village hidden in the mountains of Ningbo According to historical records, during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Chongliang from Pinghu, Xinchang, traveled here and was delighted by the beautiful scenery. He settled down here and the area became a village. When the village was first built, it was originally called Longxi Village, and later changed to Longgong Village. This place is named after the dragon, so of course there are many legends about dragons. It is said that there once was a dragon living in a deep pool in the south of the village. The pool is bottomless, the water is clear and blue, and it never stops flowing all year round, just like a crystal palace, so it is called the Dragon Palace. The most famous attraction in the village is the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, a national key protected unit. It has a long history, exquisitely carved window grilles and buildings, and a strong ancient village cultural atmosphere. It is very exquisite, showing the exquisite architectural skills of the craftsmen and can be called an artistic treasure deep in the mountains. In the center of the lobby hangs a plaque inscribed with "Xingju Hall", with more than 10 new and old plaques hung on the wall, including "Jinshi", "Gongsheng", "Zhuangyuanjidi", "Hanlin", etc. The name of Longgong Village comes from the pool under the waterfall in the stream behind the village. So this is also a good place to play in the water and go tracing the river. :Longgong Village, Shencun Town, Ninghai County, one and a half hours' drive from the city. :You need to go to Ninghai Bus Terminal first and take a minibus to Magang or Longgong. You can reach Longgong Village

Ninghai Hot springs is not very far from Ningbo. It’s easy to get there by train and you can enjoy your day on the nature while soaking in one of the pools. It’s open all day at the weekend haha and 1pm till late during the week.

Take a short walk from here towards the guarded entrance, here you can enter the ancient town which has been built up by the local residents. The government have helped the locals to expand the area and keep it active. The ancient town has a few paths to follow that lead into each other, there’s also some older buildings to visit and explore as well as local shops and cafes. Souvenirs are a must buy here. Across the road from the entrance gates, you can see some steps. Follow these up and you can over look most of the town. #staycation #urbanexplorer #mountainview #ancienttown #ningbo

Surrounded by evergreen mountains, Ninghai Forest Hot Spring is located about 60km away from Ningbo, a nice weekend getaway from the city life. ⛰ It is considered one of the top three hot springs in China. ♨️ The water’s temperature can reach 49.5° degrees, and there are more than 20 kinds of mineral substances and micro-elements which bring great benefit to your health. There are two hotels you can choose from while there. One consists of several cute cabins perched up the hills of the mountain (get your calves ready to work!), and is directly connected to the hot springs. The other is a more luxurious hotel, located 3km away from the hot springs, and offers a ‘normal’ style hotel room. Before entering the hot springs, male and female changing rooms can be found on opposite side of the lobby. The locker rooms are very neat and clean, with enough space for everyone. The hallway towards the external area is entirely closed and heated, so don’t worry about walking around in only flip flops, bathing suit, and a robe! There is also one indoor swimming pool that is very enjoyable, with resting chairs, and a shallow part for children. Outside, you will find numerous small hot spring pools. Some have Chinese herbs added to the water while others do not. You get to pick and choose, hopping from one to another while you relax and take in the contrasting temperatures! Definitely worth the visit! 💆🏻‍♀️ #hotsprings #staycation #ninghai #wintergetaway

✅ Soundproofing/Hygiene: The environment was quiet during our stay with excellent sound insulation, free from external disturbances. The overall cleanliness was satisfactory, providing a comfortable living experience. 🏘️ Room Type/Layout: Multiple stays have all offered great room experiences. Standard rooms are often upgraded to lake view rooms. The 8th-floor lake view king room is spacious, with some rooms boasting outstanding views facing the scenic area, offering open vistas. The room layout retains the luxurious design from its opening, and the included balcony is a bonus, providing unique perspectives from different angles. 🛌 Amenities/Facilities: The hotel facilities had a premium feel at opening, with JW-level quality in its decor style. All facilities were very comfortable to use when newly opened. The TV supports screen mirroring, which is convenient and practical; the lounge is accessible 24/7 with card access, adding to the convenience. 💗 Other Tips: - Convenient Transportation: It takes just over half an hour by high-speed train from Ningbo to Ninghai, and a five-minute taxi ride from the train station gets you to the hotel, making travel effortless. - Dining Recommendations: The lounge afternoon tea features two types of small cakes, which are decent in quality. Happy hour offers a variety of dishes, including small yellow croaker, razor clams, shrimp, and more, along with drinks like Corona and Little Gold Palm for unlimited enjoyment. Breakfast is diverse, featuring local specialties like sea urchin wontons, seafood noodles, donuts, and wheat buns. The hotel's Chinese restaurant is worth a try, with attentive service and fresh seafood. The crispy chicken is perfectly cooked—crispy outside and tender inside, juicy (note: seafood on the menu is not eligible for member discounts). Additionally, Ninghai has many local delicacies worth trying, such as soup dumplings, wheat cakes, and seafood noodles. - Service Experience: The staff provides thoughtful assistance, such as refrigerating food delivered to the front desk during typhoon weather and helping arrange same-day SF Express delivery when trips are canceled. For minor issues, the front desk proactively compensates with a premium fruit platter—overall service is very satisfying. - Facility Suggestions: The gym and pool are outsourced and relatively small. During summer vacations, parents often bring children, so if you prefer a quiet wellness experience, it's best to avoid these times. - Best Time to Stay: The hotel usually has fewer guests, enhancing the experience. During flash sales, summer vacations, and weekends, it can get busier, and service may feel slightly stretched. Opting for a two- or three-day stay during off-peak periods ensures a better experience, making it ideal for a weekend staycation.

Borrow red lanterns from the caretaker for vintage-style photos. 2. Dragon Tree: A 400-year-old giant with roots like dragon claws dipping into the stream. Perfect for Hanfu silhouette shots at 3 PM sunlight. Collect numbered leaves to "adopt" the ancient tree. 3. Longxi Stream: Wade barefoot to catch fish or bring water guns for impromptu water fights. The shaded banks are ideal for picnics. 4. Daxie Waterfall: Follow cobblestone paths to the reservoir's end. During rainy seasons (June-July), the thunderous "silver river" may reward you with rainbows. 🚗Transport: - Drive: Navigate to "Longgong Village" (2.5hrs from Hangzhou, 3.5hrs from Shanghai). Free parking available. - Public Transit: Take high-speed rail to Ninghai Station, then bus 816/816-1 (infrequent, ~1.5hrs). 🎯Itinerary: Spend 1-2 days here. Summer offers stream fun and waterfall rainbows (June-July), while ancient alleys and architecture promise timeless charm. 🏠Accommodation: - Longgong Shanju Homestay (~¥150/night): Budget-friendly with tree views, homemade breakfasts, and stargazing terraces. - The Chedi Ninghai: Luxury option with hot spring villas and mountain-view infinity pools (30min drive). ❗Tips: 1. Wear grippy shoes for slippery stream rocks. 2. Bring mosquito repellent in summer. 3. Pack local snacks like Ninghai wheat cakes for waterside picnics. 4. Drive cautiously on winding mountain roads.

I visited The Chedi Xinchang in May this year and had a great experience, so I subsequently booked a night at The Chedi Ninghai to compare the two properties. P1-P5 The Chedi Xinchang P6-P10 The Chedi Ninghai 1. The Chedi Ninghai opened earlier, while The Chedi Xinchang was newly built in recent years, so the difference in newness is obvious. The washbasins at Ninghai show visible signs of use, making Xinchang slightly better in this aspect. 2. Both properties are located in relatively remote areas. For dining options beyond the hotels themselves, you need to drive some distance. The Chedi Xinchang requires a 20-minute mountain road drive to Xiayanbei Village, while The Chedi Ninghai also needs driving to reach the town. Both have similar transportation and surrounding facilities. 3. Both hotels offer activities like horse feeding, photography, and weaving. However, The Chedi Ninghai provides more exquisite afternoon tea, while Xinchang only offers one free cocktail. 4. The biggest feature of The Chedi Xinchang is Hanfei River, though it's more like a small stream. The Chedi Ninghai focuses on bamboo as its characteristic, making you feel like being in an endless bamboo sea, far from city noise. 5. The Chedi Xinchang is located within a scenic area, where hotel shuttle service suffices. The Chedi Ninghai covers a vast area, requiring first a hotel bus then a shuttle transfer, making access relatively less convenient. Both properties have their own merits. Personally, I prefer The Chedi Xinchang because: first, the new hotel indeed gives better sensory experience; second, it pays more attention to details, such as providing free charging stations, complimentary meals and gifts for departing guests.

| Escape the city and enjoy a secluded bamboo forest retreat. One mountain, one water, one world; one residence, one courtyard, one hot spring. During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I visited Xinchang Anman and left with a good impression. So on the weekend, I drove to check out Ninghai Anman. I originally booked a Lakeside Villa King Room but was lucky enough to get a free upgrade to a Bamboo View Villa—Lucky!!! The entire resort is built amidst a bamboo forest, offering lush greenery everywhere you look and a sense of seclusion far from the city's hustle and bustle. Each room is a standalone villa, providing strong privacy. The bedding is quite comfortable, and the skincare amenities are from Guerlain. The poolside bar offers a refined afternoon tea, and you can also choose from a selection of cocktails—both visually appealing and delicious. The resort also offers a variety of activities, such as hot spring baths, horse interactions, paper-cutting, and weaving, but advance reservations are required. Compared to Xinchang Anman, Ninghai Anman shows some signs of aging and wear. The main drawback is that the rooms are quite far from the front desk, requiring two transfers via shuttle bus, which makes coming and going a bit inconvenient.
