As the second most comprehensive city in Zhejiang Province, Ningbo exudes the charm of the times. It has a long history and has the world's largest library "Tianyi Pavilion" and the "Old Bund" with a rich style in the early Republic of China.

For tourists, it is a good choice to go to Zhongshan West Road to see the Drum Tower and visit the most lively pedestrian street in Ningbo. This is also the case in my itinerary.

The Drum Tower is the south gate of Ningbo's Zicheng during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Drum Tower Pedestrian Street is located within the Zicheng. As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, this area was very prosperous.

Today's Gulou Pedestrian Street shows the pattern of streets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking in the streets and alleys of the business district, looking at the classical-style buildings, it seems that you have traveled hundreds of years ago and become the protagonists of film and television works.

There is a central stage on Gulou Pedestrian Street, and theater troupes are always invited to perform during festivals or other important occasions.

The pedestrian street has two floors. The first floor is the ground part, which is also the central axis of the entire business district. It is opposite to the Drum Tower and the city gate. The second floor passage is actually the second floor corridor of the buildings on both sides. Walking forward, every other

There is an overhead corridor bridge connecting the buildings on both sides of the road. Visitors can walk to the first floor through the exits on both sides of the corridor bridge, or walk up to the second floor from the first floor.

The two heights and different visions feel very special. Relatively speaking, I prefer the perspective from the second floor, where I can appreciate the big scene more intuitively.

Drum Tower Pedestrian Street starts from Fuqiao Street in the south and ends at Gongyuan Road in the north. It takes less than 20 minutes to walk around and walk around. If you want to take careful photos, you can stay for an hour.

Relatively speaking, there are more people in the passage on the first floor, and the background is a bit complicated. There are relatively few tourists on the second floor, which is more suitable for taking pictures. Especially taking pictures here in Hanfu is particularly artistic. The people photographed feel like they are born from ancient times.

In Gulou Pedestrian Street, Jiangnan’s white walls and black tiles, hollow wooden railings and horse head walls are all filled with the rich charm of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The things sold on this pedestrian street are similar to pedestrian streets in other places. They are basically handicrafts, local specialties, milk tea shops and other kinds of delicacies.

Here, the product is not the main protagonist, the overall historical atmosphere is the attractive factor, and the herd effect is also one of the main reasons.

Stand on the covered bridge of the Drum Tower Pedestrian Street and overlook the majestic Drum Tower not far away. Walk along the pedestrian street to the other end. Across the road is Zhongshan Park, a favorite place for locals. People often sing and dance in it during holidays.

, or sing opera.

In addition to the shops on both sides, there are also some temporary stalls in the middle of the pedestrian street. It seems that some organizations occasionally come to hold activities.

In Gulou Pedestrian Street, what you buy is not the most important. Some people just like the lively atmosphere here.

The pedestrian street is relatively quiet in the morning, gradually becomes lively in the afternoon, and reaches its peak from dusk to when the night lights first come on.

Compared with the scenery during the day, the pedestrian street at night is more charming. When the weather is good, go for a stroll and the visual impact will be wonderful.
