Chinese New Year in Ningbo
This year (2018) for Chinese New Year we visit Ningbo Park Hyatt Resort & Spa and NanTang Old Street in Ningbo. A very relaxing and quite long weekend where we spent most of our time at the resort enjoying fresh seafood, the tea-house, and simple relaxations around Dong Qian Lake. One afternoon, we took a shuttle into Ningbo city to visit the popular NanTang Old Street with its many street snacks and shopping.

Getting to Ningbo from Shanghai by train is an easy two hours on the speed train. Then from the station to the hotel is 30-min taxi ride. Therefore, it’s comfortable to spend time at the resort and enjoy the local area around the lake. For excursions into Ningbo there is a shuttle service provided by the hotel.
