The ancient town of Ningbo with rich water town style is known as Little Ningbo. The Blue Lake and Sea of ??Flowers have become internet celebrity attractions.

Xiwu Street, Fenghua District, Ningbo City is also a beautiful tourist town. There are ancient towns with rich water town style, ancient villages with simple folk customs, fairy tale-like sea of ??flowers and turquoise "Blue Lake".

The sea of ??flowers here includes both rapeseed flowers and azaleas. It becomes an internet celebrity check-in spot in Ningbo every year, and there is an endless stream of people visiting here.

Xiwu Street was originally an ancient village, and was later called Xiwu Town. It has a long history.

The Dongjiang River in front of the village connects to the Fenghua River, and you can reach Ningbo along the waterway.

This was once the golden waterway of Fenghua and a distribution center for commodities and materials. The dock was extremely busy, so it was called "Little Ningbo".

There are still a large number of ancient buildings preserved on both sides of the Dongjiang River. It is an authentic ancient water town that has not been commercially developed.

In summer, the Dongjiang River and its tributaries are lined with ancient trees and full of greenery. The water on the river is as level as a mirror, reflecting the scenery on the shore, which is extremely beautiful.

To the southeast of Xiwu Street are mountains such as Dali Mountain, Bijia Mountain, Guishan Mountain and Jin'e Mountain, and the peaks are connected.

There are several ancient villages hidden in the valley, and they are all famous internet celebrity check-in places in Ningbo.

The northernmost of these ancient villages is Taxation Chang Village, next to Jin'e Village, and to the south are Jiangjia Chitou Village and Leishan Village.

The name "Taxaochang" has a new-age flavor, but it is actually an ancient historical village and the hometown of Wang Zhengting, a modern Chinese sports celebrity and the "Father of the Chinese Olympic Games".

Taxuchang Village is located against a mountain. There is an open space at the foot of the mountain at the head of the village, which has been built into the "Jinxi Comprehensive Agricultural Demonstration Park" rapeseed test base.

The rapeseed flowers here have been improved and have seven main colors: white, yellow-green, earthy yellow, orange, pink, orange-red and purple. It is called the colorful rapeseed flower sea.

Mid-to-late March every year is the season when rapeseed flowers are in full bloom. At that time, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, bees are flying and butterflies are dancing, and there are crowds of tourists.

Taxuchang Village has become one of the most popular places for Internet celebrities to check in in Ningbo.

To the east of Taxichang Village is Jin'e Village. There is a large valley between the two, and rapeseed is basically grown in the land.

The sea of ??rapeseed flowers here is larger, but they are all grown by local villagers. They are natural varieties, showing a single yellow color, which is also very beautiful.

The most beautiful scenery in Jin'e Village is the Jin'e Mountain Rhododendron Forest.

This scenery is on a mountain four or five kilometers southeast of Jin'e Village. There is a large natural rhododendron forest on the hillside.

The azaleas here are not of a single color. They come in light pink, dark pink, bright red and purple. In April every year, the azaleas bloom all over the mountain and are very beautiful.

There is a parking lot next to this rhododendron forest. You can set up tents for camping at night, watch the sunrise in the morning, sunset in the evening, and starry sky at night.

There is a stone-step hiking trail in the rhododendron forest. Climb along the trail to the top of the mountain and overlook the scenery around Jin'e Mountain.

There is the Golden Buddha Temple on the top of the mountain and the Guanyin Pavilion on the mountainside.

Every year when the azaleas bloom, the place is crowded with tourists, causing congestion on the mountain roads.

The southernmost part of Xiwu Street is Jiangjia Chitou Village.

Relying on Jinxi Lake, the village has created a 3A-level tourist village in Zhejiang Province that integrates small bridges and flowing water, ancient tree stone carvings, a wetland park, a red boat island, ancient temples and cultural relics. .

There is a fog forest system and lighting on Jinxi Lake. During the day, the clouds and mist are steaming, like a fairy and a dream, and at night, the neon lights flash, making it poetic and picturesque.

Not far from Jiangjia Chitou Village is Leishan Village.

This is a small ancient village. There are two reservoirs in the mountains inside the village, namely Xinling'ao Reservoir and Shigeba Reservoir.

The water in Shigeba Reservoir is particularly blue, like the blue sea, and is known as the "Blue Lake of Fenghua".

However, this Blue Lake is a first-class drinking water source and no vehicles are allowed to enter.

Among these scenic spots, the best viewing season for the rapeseed flower sea is in March every year, the best viewing season for the azalea sea is in April every year, Jiangjia Chitou Village is best at night, and Leishan Village is best at night. The water town scenery of Blue Lake and Xiwu Ancient Town is suitable all year round, but the scenery is the most beautiful in summer.
