Ningbo's Eastern Zhejiang Small Jiuzhai showcases a natural beauty akin to a paradise with its clear streams and lush green mountains. The flowing water in the valleys is crystal clear, and the waterfalls cascade down like silver curtains, complementing the verdant vegetation, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland. Walking along the forest paths, the sound of birds and the gentle breeze create an incredibly comfortable and pleasant experience. Especially in autumn, the mountains are adorned with layers of golden and red hues, adding a unique charm. This place is not only a paradise for photographers but also an excellent spot for relaxation and rejuvenation, leaving visitors with unforgettable memories and emotions.

Zhedong Little Jiuzhai There are bamboos everywhere in the scenic area, and they are very tall, a natural oxygen bar. The terrain of the scenic area is relatively flat, basically without climbing up and down the mountain, suitable for family hiking. The stream runs through the whole journey, the humidity is relatively high, very cool, the whole journey is about 4.5 kilometers. The stream is very clear, and some shallow places are suitable for children to play in the water. Places with deep water and few people are not suitable. We have seen water snakes in the water at the end. The scenic area is suitable for playing in the water and hiking in summer, very cool. 🚴🏻Transportation: It is convenient to drive by yourself, there is a parking lot, and the charge is CNY 10 per day. The scenic area sightseeing bus can be taken about 100 meters on foot from the entrance. It costs CNY 5 for one section, and there are two sections in total, from the entrance and exit to Xiangguting, and from Xiangguting to Moon Bay. After getting off at Xiangguting, you need to walk about 200 meters to the next boarding point. The sightseeing bus is not continuous throughout the journey, which is not a very good experience. 🍜Food: There are snacks at the entrance and exit, and at Xiangguting in the scenic area. There is a restaurant "In the Garden" in Moon Bay, the environment looks good, colorful hibiscus flowers, vines, various green plants, and a restaurant surrounded by iron fences, very beautiful.

It was closed on Tuesday, so I came here in the drizzle to breathe in the fresh air. Because it was a weekday, I almost had the place to myself. I walked slowly along the stream for an hour and a half. It was very quiet, with only the sound of the stream. The strange rocks, bamboo forest, and clear stream complemented each other. There were photo spots everywhere. There were no restaurants inside, only a tea counter. Bring some dry food. If you're not staying long, you don't need to. The air was humid. Even if you sweat a lot, you won't feel thirsty. Bring your friends and family, your loved ones. Take a step, take a photo every two steps, let the breeze in every three or four steps. Take a leisurely walk, live life slowly, listen to the gurgling water, and forget all your troubles.
