FAQ

Moon Lake Scenic Area and Nantang Old Street are both free to enter—no tickets required. Moon Lake Park is open all day, so you can stroll around the lake anytime; some exhibition halls inside are usually open from 8:00–17:00, so visit during the day if you want to see them. Nantang Old Street is a free historic and cultural district that's great to explore during the day or in the evening. Both are close to Tianyi Pavilion, so you can visit them on the same day to save travel time.
Adult tickets for Chiang Kai-shek's Former Residence cost ¥120. Xuedou Mountain tickets cost ¥150, which includes the ¥30 scenic area shuttle bus but not the cable car. If you plan to visit both, buy the Xikou combo ticket for ¥210 (includes Chiang Kai-shek's Former Residence, Xuedou Mountain, and the Xuedou Mountain shuttle bus)—it's cheaper than buying separate tickets. You can purchase tickets via the WeChat official account "Xikou-Tengtou Tourist Area". Prices are subject to the official rates on the day of your visit.
Tianyi Pavilion, Moon Lake, and Nantang Old Street in the city center are close to each other and can be visited in one day: start at Tianyi Pavilion, take a walk around Moon Lake, then head to Nantang Old Street. The Chiang Kai-shek's Former Residence and Xuedou Mountain are in Xikou, Fenghua, a drive from the city center. With plenty to see there, it's best to set aside a full day and buy the Xikou combo ticket to visit both sites.
Yes. We can arrange a private car and private guide from downtown Ningbo to Xikou and Xuedou Mountain, or design a one-day route covering Tianyi Pavilion, Moon Lake, and Nantang Old Street based on your schedule. We can also combine Ningbo with nearby cities like Hangzhou and Shaoxing into a multi-day trip. Please contact customer service with your travel dates, group size, and preferences, and we'll customize an itinerary for you.
