Cicheng Ancient County Dragon Boat Festival Travel Guide Time-Tickets

Cicheng is located in the north of Ningbo. It still retains the layout of the county seat and a large number of ancient buildings and antique courtyards from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It's very comfortable to walk here and worth a visit. This year’s Dragon Boat Festival, Cicheng Ancient County holds activities! Come and have a look.

Introduction to attractions

No tickets are required to enter the ancient city. The rice cake exhibition hall of the Chenghuang Temple is also open for free, so wandering around is also a very comfortable option. You need to buy a ticket to enter the Confucius Temple, the county government, the school auditorium, Qingdao Pass and the painting exhibition of Feng Yuzhai and his mother. The distance between adjacent scenic spots is about 500-1000 meters, and they are all flat paths. Generally choose to go on foot. Due to the narrow streets, it is not suitable to drive in the ancient city. If you are tired of walking, you can call a tricycle and go around the next stop for 5 yuan.

Entering the ancient county town from the visitor center on the east side, you first pass by Feng Yu’s Mansion, where the poem “Wandering Son’s Song” is displayed outside the ancient mansion. Tell us straight to the point that Cicheng is the hometown of Xiao. Feng Yuzhai is also one of the existing large-scale and well-preserved ancient building groups in Ningbo, including the Sitting Furniture Cultural Exhibition, Huishan Clay Figure Exhibition, Jingdezhen Blue and White Porcelain Exhibition, etc. It is worth visiting Feng Yuzhai's architecture alone. Jinjiajing Alley to the west of Feng's house, from east to west are the Buzheng Fang, Fu Zitou and Jia Di's House, all of which are typical Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings. Turn south to Zhuxiang East Road and you can see the Star Gate of Confucius Temple. It is the only well-preserved Confucian temple in eastern Zhejiang. It has some ancestral halls and inscriptions, and you can feel the atmosphere of Confucianism here.

Going north along Jiefang Road, at the end is the Cicheng Ancient County Government Office. The ancient county government was very large, and now it has been integrated into the Qingfeng Garden Scenic Area, where the original county government scene has been restored with wax figures. This is a cultural park with an anti-corruption theme. What is impressive is a gate in the shape of a copper coin. As soon as you enter the door, you will feel like you have "money eyes". There are statues of corrupt officials from past dynasties and three mowers, which are eerie and quite intimidating. The Chenghuang Temple on the west side of the county government office is an interesting place in the entire ancient county. There is a Cicheng rice cake restaurant inside, which not only shows the making process of rice cakes with real objects and pictures, but if you are hungry, you can also try the Cicheng rice cakes that have been featured on CCTV programs.

To the north of the ancient county is Cihu Lake, along which there are landscapes such as the Water Tomb, Dong Xiaozi Well, and Shigu Pavilion. And there is a display of the imperial examination system in the school hall on the east side of the lake. The scenery by the lake is nice, you can take a nap here. The Zoumalou Restaurant and Tangbaoshan Bar by the lake are very quaint, so you can go have something to eat and take a look at the architecture. There are also many snacks and noodle restaurants on the street.

On the way back, walk south along Taihu Road and pass by the Yuefeng Painted Gate. You can visit my mother’s art exhibition here to experience Chinese knots, paper-cuts and other embroidery arts. Then walk south along the city moat to Qingdao Pass. . This attraction is a bit far. It's on a hill and you can climb up to see the view. Those who are interested in Taoism can come and have a look. It takes about a day to visit Cicheng Ancient Town, but you don’t want to spend the night here. Usually, you will take a bus back to Ningbo after the tour.
