Ningbo, located at the coast of the East China Sea, lies in the middle of the coastline of the Chinese mainland and the south wing of the Yangtze River Delta. It’s one of China's first coastal cities to open up to the outside world, a city enjoying independent planning status and a sub-provincial city.
Ningbo, with a long history, has rich cultural heritages. It’s the birthplace of the Hemudu Culture, which dates back to 7,000 years ago, the south estuary of the world cultural heritage site “Grand Canal of China”, the eastern port of departure of the “Maritime Silk Road”, the birthplace of the “May 19 China Tourism Day”. There is Tianyi Pavilion, the oldest extant private library in China, Xuedou Mountain, one of the TOP five famous Buddhist mountains in China, and Beilun Port, which is called “the great oriental port” by Mr. Sun Yat-Sen. Therefore, Ningbo is a famous historic and cultural city and an excellent tourism city in China where the traditional culture and modern civilization are integrated.
