Ningbo, Port metropolis in Zhejiang Province, China

Located on the Yong River, Ningbo extends across a low coastal plain where the Yuyao and Fenghua rivers merge near Hangzhou Bay.

The settlement evolved from an independent Ming prefecture in 738 to become one of China's first five treaty ports opened for foreign trade in 1842.

The Ningbo Museum presents regional artifacts and architectural elements that reflect the development of this maritime trading center through multiple dynasties.

The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port handles the largest cargo volume worldwide and connects with transportation networks through the Hangzhou Bay Bridge.

Tianyige stands as the oldest existing library structure in China, preserving literary collections from centuries of intellectual development.
