It's not that Beijing is unaffordable, it's just that Yuyao, Ningbo is more cost-effective. I took my parents on a relaxing day trip to Yuyao over the weekend. Route: Tianxia Yuyuan Scenic Area → Yuyao Jushilin I can't wait to say that Wang Anyu's hometown is so "Beijing-like". Yuyao's culture and tourism department should promote it more! Tianxia Yuyuan Scenic Area Address: Jiulong Mountain, Dayin Town, Yuyao City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province Opening hours: 08:00–16:30 Self-driving: Navigate to the scenic area parking lot (CNY 5 parking fee) Tickets: CNY 60 per person (CNY 55 online, half price for seniors) Recommended route: Entrance → CNY 5 per person for a tour bus directly to Xiyin Temple → Reclining Buddha (one road back and forth) → South Temple of Heaven and Xiuhu Lake (if you have time, you can climb the Jade Buddha Pagoda and overlook the panoramic view of Xiuhu Lake) → Exit Tour duration: 2–3 hours Older Ningbo residents say that this was a popular place when they were young, but young people don't come here anymore. They think that since it requires a ticket, it must be run-down and not worth taking photos of. This was also my impression until I visited it myself and regretted not coming sooner. The legendary "Little Temple of Heaven" in Ningbo, the South Temple of Heaven, is magnificent and you can go inside to see the exquisite dome.
