Somebody describes Qiantong: it is different from other ancient towns, not only well-preserved, but also gives people the feeling of simple, profound, with strong human spirit and the eastern Zhejiang town charm. The sculptures and patterns on some ancient buildings in the historic town fully reflect the pursuit of their predecessors in the art form.
People must transfer to Ninghai from Ningbo: take the No.10 bus at the Ningbo Railway Station and get off at the South Bus Station, and then change bus to Ninghai, the fare is about 30.
The place to get off at Qiantong is just the Mount Lushan's mouth, if time permit, people can climbed to the Mount Lushan, where you can enjoy the panoramic views of Qiantong.

Here, if we ignore the photographic equipment on the body of visitors, you can not tell who visitors are, and who the residents are.
Wharf wall of the southern town building
The filming place of the film “a barber”
The chair and mirror in the film still on the wall
And the cigarette advertising of that era
Walk alone in this alley, like walk in the runway of a space shuttle
Qiantong town streets were decorated with red lanterns, very attracting.
There were many visitors
But the street would be empty not for a while, and return quiet back.
