There is no sea near the downtown area of Ningbo. If you want to see the sea, you can go to Xiangshan. Xiangshan is a place with rich fisheries. If you want to see the sea, there is a good environment. I suggest you go to the East China Sea Half Mountain Scenic Area. You can take a bus to the downtown area. Subway Line 2 goes to Ningbo Railway Station, which is next to Ningbo South Bus Station. Just buy a ticket to Shipu, and take a taxi to the East China Sea Half Mountain Scenic Area. The total journey takes about one and a half hours. The fare is 7~8. There are not only the sea in the scenic spot, but also other attractions, such as sightseeing around the island by bus and taking the Long March Road again. There is also a big sports ground where you can experience golf, play basketball, football and tennis. The beach is very big and backed by the sea, and many newcomers will take pictures there ~ If time is not enough, there are hotels in the scenic spot to stay ~
