The Old Bund is located in Sanjiangkou, the very center of Ningbo, and its history is 20 years earlier than that of the Bund in Shanghai. Today, the Old Bund still preserves a large number of beautiful old European-style buildings, most of which have been converted into small-scale bars and restaurants, forming a leisure area with a strong atmosphere. It is one of the landmarks of Ningbo. It is very quiet here during the day, with tourists strolling in groups of three or four on the streets and taking pictures of the old buildings. At night, the streets are bustling with people, and melodious songs wafting from the bars are full of charm. Walking to the riverside and admiring the charming night view of Sanjiangkou, it is very romantic to take a stroll with your lover. In summer, the Yongjiang River is also a good place to cool off.

| When you come to Ningbo, it is necessary to take a night tour of the Old Bund, which is even more walkable than the Bund in Shanghai, listen to the modern history of Ningbo, and experience the current night view of Ningbo. Especially walking by the river and feeling the river breeze, all worries disappear. It is also very pleasant to meet up with a few good friends and chat about life in a bar. In short, the Old Bund is a must-visit place when visiting Ningbo. |
