A True Chinese Experience 🏮🎎
Cicheng Ancient Town is located in the Jiangbei district of Ningbo, and is a walled city dating from the 8th century when it was renowned for its handicrafts. A couple of years ago, the government of Ningbo invested in its revival and nowadays it has become a popular attraction to enjoy! Cicheng is also known as the “most charming ancient town south of the Yangtze River” for its beautiful scenery, city walls and abundant cultural relics. Because of its long history and rich culture, there are many historic sites standing in the small town. Recommended places to visit include Enrong House and the Xiang’s Residence.
The streets are very well preserved and beautifully decorated with lanterns!
🚕 Didi/taxi just type in “Cicheng Ancient Town”
🚎 Public bus Line 337
🚄 Ride the subway Line 4 all the way to Cicheng!
Similar to the typical pedestrian streets in several cities around China, Cicheng provides the same feeling. On both sides of the street you will find several shops with a wide range of things to look at, buy, eat, and drink. There are both fancy and simple restaurants, as well as snack shops throughout the streets.
One very fun thing to do is dress up in traditional Chinese clothes, hanfu, at a local dress shop that rents the outfits and allows you to walk around the area and take pictures! The ladies in the store can also prep your hair in different styles, it all depends on which era the hanfu you choose corresponds to. There are options for men, women, and children too. 💰Renting the clothes will cost you around ¥100.
The Jiangbei area, and even more specifically in Cicheng, is also known for its delicacies. When visiting Cicheng, sticky rice cake is a must-try! 🌟 During my time there, I visited a restaurant that taught us about the entire process - from planting the seeds, to harvesting the grains, until the rice is prepped and ready to be mixed with oil and stuffing using our bear hands! Afterwards we got to taste what we made and were also served delicious traditional Chinese foods such as soup buns, crayfish, wontons and Ningbo-style pastries.
🤸🏻♀️ Enjoy Cicheng!

In the northwest of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, there is an ancient city called Cicheng, which is known as the first ancient county in the south of the Yangtze River. This ancient city is very low-key, and it is not known here because it is famous in many ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. This ancient city has a history of more than a thousand years, and it has the best preserved ancient county in the south of the Yangtze River.
Tang Kaiyuan 26 years (AD 738), the first county magistrate in Cixi County established this county magistrate. In the following 1200 years, it has been the administrative center of Cixi County until 1954. The administrative division was adjusted, and the county government moved from Cicheng to Lushan Town.
The original county was on the Fubi Mountain, and was moved to the foot of the mountain by the county magistrate in the 23rd year of Ming Wanli (1595). The existing county magistrate was reconstructed according to the detailed map of Cixi County during the Guangxu period, retaining the pattern of the Qing Dynasty.
There are departments on both sides of the lobby. Just like the various departments of the government today, they are the shackles, soldiers, prisoners, workers, etc. They are responsible for the imperial examinations, conscription, money, and prison supervision of the county. Each department has wax figures. Reproduce the ancient style.
Ming Yongle 16 years (1418), Cixi lost counts, fear of gangsters, please Yuchao, more cast, change the river from the valley, tampering with Cixi County as Cixi County, today at the county gate The hanging plaque is still "Cixi County".
The whole county covers an area of more than 40,000 square meters. According to the theory of Feng Shui and the regulation of Guanding County, it is facing south and has a central axis.
