It is 2 hours by express bus from Ningbo to Huangyan, 170km. I guess you can only ship the thing by train or bus. Sorry, not clear about the price. Suggest you contact a shipping company.

Hi Ms, I think you could go to Putuoshan since there is no entrance fee to the island and the beaches.

Ms.Liane(Canada) replied:

Hi Sisley,

Thanks for replying to my message. Are you sure there's no fees? I checked as best as I could, and there seems to be a 130-150Y entrance fee per person to the island, than 35Y for the beach. Please don't quote me, I can't find this exact information anymore.

Have you been to these places before? If so, I would love to hear your impressions. Please don't hesitate to email me directly at lilipoo_2001@hotmail.com

Ms.Stella(China) replied:

Oh, are you serious? It cannot be like that. I think Ningbo is just Ok. It's not big but it's not so bad as you said. I bet I can find English newspaper there. Haven't you found China Daily in the book shop or newspapre stall?

Mr.Ray 119(thailand) replied:

Oh Roger, Your thoughts are completely wrong :
let me give u some correction :

A. Didnt have any shop where you can buy english news papers!

= You can find english news papers easily, unless you are backpackers. Just keep open your eyes and talk with other foreigners, did you perfectly went out to meet any foreign related areas : ?

B. There is not any Tourist-Bus-Line like in other cities!
If you want reach one of the several scenic spots around Ningbo, you need
to use City Buses! Most of them are old and dirty without AC! For ex.: Ningbo-WuLongTan Five dragon pools, needs 62 stops!!!!(around 3 hours)Dongqian Lake have not any tourist-infrastructure and the city is full of beggars at every scenic spot and bus stations all around.

= May be you went out with a wrong bus, there are lot of air cond bus, and i would suggest you why not you take a taxi to go there, i have been that lake area and have seen all the spots nicely, those are naturaly nice, fantastic.
Why not ask your hotel people or any person (as you lived there couple of years, sure not alone and must met any single foreigners who knows ningbo well)

C. The traffic order is a total disaster. Pedestrian counts like shit! Not recommandable for people with little children!

= The traffic systems in ningbo is perfectly alright, i have been living here in ningbo and the pedestrian counts ok, what you says please.. i don;t know which area you supposed to face those prob ?

D. The climate shown on your site is wrong. Since Ive been here, the summer Mid June-Mid September, is much hotter (around 36-39).
= if you lived in ningbo for couple of years, you might knows it;s climate, it is no prob at all. may be site info not updated.

E. Most of official places incl PSB are not able to held a conversation in english.

= Oh this is not true, many people can speak english there, not like that you can,coz english might your own native language but many people there can speak english, it's tru

What kind of information would you like to know, the city or the university? If it is the city, I think you could read the introduction on Ningbo of this website. As for the university, why not go to its official website at http://www.nbu.edu.cn/english/

If so, you must have a try of the hot spring in the Nanyuan Hot Spring Resort. It is located at Shenzhen Town, Ninghai County, Ningbo. And, you have to hire a car to drive you to the hot spring from Shanghai or Ningbo.

It a bit difficult to find muslim food in ningbo....

Ms.Lynn(SG) replied:

Ningbo Dongyishun Service Co. Ltd

Ningbo Dongyishun Service Co. Ltd., founded in October 1995, is the only Muslim restaurant in Ningbo. The restaurant serves mainly the Western or Chinese fast food, the mutton used for the stew dishes are cooked strictly under the Muslim's method. Smoking is forbidden inside the restaurant.

Up till now, the restaurant has received altogether 12,200 Muslims from Arab countries and other Islamic states that came to Ningbo either for investment, tour or study. Due to the low price of the cuisine, warm and thoughtful service and elegant dining environment, it is awarded by the government of Ningbo and the municipal tourism bureau as the "Civilized Sample Window in the Tourism Industry" and appointed as a foreign-related tourist unit.

I guess this is th eonly MUSLIM restaurant available in Ningbo!!

You may stay in an ancient town in Ningbo, quiet and leisurly. I like these water town in South China so much. Alternatively, you could take an excursion to the Putuo Mountain close to the Zhoushan Island, or the Zhujiajian Island, very beautiful seashore:)
