Underrated Gem in Ningbo: A Foolproof Travel Guide to Fenghua

I won’t tolerate anyone saying Ningbo has no fun spots—Fenghua's Xikou is criminally underrated! With stunning natural landscapes and rich historical charm, visiting during the off-season in autumn/winter means no crowds—pure bliss! A must-visit for road-trippers in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region... **1. Xuedou Mountain Scenic Area | ¥150** Located northwest of Xikou Town, Xuedou Mountain is the highest peak of the Siming Mountain range, famed as the "Penglai on Land" and named after Emperor Renzong of Song's legendary dream visit. - **Highlight: Xufu Cliff** Thrill-seekers, rejoice! Try via ferrata, glass walkways, and jungle adventures. - **Xuedou Temple** A serene ancient monastery nestled in the heart of Xuedou Mountain, surrounded by nine peaks. One of China’s "Five Great Buddhist Mountains," its golden Maitreya Buddha statue is awe-inspiring. **2. Maitreya Holy Altar | ¥50** A dazzling new Buddhist landmark. Tickets include "joy vouchers" redeemable for vegetarian meals or cultural souvenirs. **3. Chiang Family Former Residence | ¥120** Home to generations of the Chiang family, including Chiang Kai-shek. Every brick whispers tales of Republican-era romance and legacy. **4. Yingmengli Town | ¥99** Step into a cyberpunk-lit Republic-era town at night! Enjoy qipao dress-up, immersive theaters, and all-in-one dining/entertainment. **5. Qixiakeng Village | Free** A hidden ancient Jiangnan village, once home to descendants of calligrapher Wang Xizhi. Stroll among whitewashed walls, stone bridges, and autumn maples for a tranquil escape. **Stay Recommendation: Dongshan Lu Homestay** 📍 Dongshan Village, Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo - Nestled in peaceful Dongshan Village, 7 mins from Xuedou Mountain. The Maitreya Altar is visible from its terrace! - 7 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows for sunrise/sunset views. Smart amenities (e.g., motorized curtains, bidets) ensure comfort. - Facilities: Restaurant, café, mahjong room, meeting space, BBQ area. Ideal for families or corporate retreats.
