About:Ningbo Travel

I live in Ningbo since 2 y. Let me tell you that Ningbo is over-valued!
A. Didnt have any shop where you can buy english news papers!
B. There is not any Tourist-Bus-Line like in other cities!
If you want reach one of the several scenic spots around Ningbo, you need
to use City Buses! Most of them are old and dirty without AC! For ex.: Ningbo-WuLongTan Five dragon pools, needs 62 stops!!!!(around 3 hours)Dongqian Lake have not any tourist-infrastructure and the city is full of beggars at every scenic spot and bus stations all around.
C. The traffic order is a total disaster. Pedestrian counts like shit! Not recommandable for people with little children!
D. The climate shown on your site is wrong. Since Ive been here, the summer Mid June-Mid September, is much hotter (around 36-39).
E. Most of official places incl PSB are not able to held a conversation in english.
After my rent contract expires, I will leave this city, better word is town, for sure!

Oh, are you serious? It cannot be like that. I think Ningbo is just Ok. It's not big but it's not so bad as you said. I bet I can find English newspaper there. Haven't you found China Daily in the book shop or newspapre stall?

Oh Roger, Your thoughts are completely wrong :
let me give u some correction :

A. Didnt have any shop where you can buy english news papers!

= You can find english news papers easily, unless you are backpackers. Just keep open your eyes and talk with other foreigners, did you perfectly went out to meet any foreign related areas : ?

B. There is not any Tourist-Bus-Line like in other cities!
If you want reach one of the several scenic spots around Ningbo, you need
to use City Buses! Most of them are old and dirty without AC! For ex.: Ningbo-WuLongTan Five dragon pools, needs 62 stops!!!!(around 3 hours)Dongqian Lake have not any tourist-infrastructure and the city is full of beggars at every scenic spot and bus stations all around.

= May be you went out with a wrong bus, there are lot of air cond bus, and i would suggest you why not you take a taxi to go there, i have been that lake area and have seen all the spots nicely, those are naturaly nice, fantastic.
Why not ask your hotel people or any person (as you lived there couple of years, sure not alone and must met any single foreigners who knows ningbo well)

C. The traffic order is a total disaster. Pedestrian counts like shit! Not recommandable for people with little children!

= The traffic systems in ningbo is perfectly alright, i have been living here in ningbo and the pedestrian counts ok, what you says please.. i don;t know which area you supposed to face those prob ?

D. The climate shown on your site is wrong. Since Ive been here, the summer Mid June-Mid September, is much hotter (around 36-39).
= if you lived in ningbo for couple of years, you might knows it;s climate, it is no prob at all. may be site info not updated.

E. Most of official places incl PSB are not able to held a conversation in english.

= Oh this is not true, many people can speak english there, not like that you can,coz english might your own native language but many people there can speak english, it's tru
