Dongqian Lake

Ningbo, Ningbo

Lake CyclingSeafoodDay Trip

Ningbo's great lake - 45km of shoreline, cycling paths, and the fish that made the city's cuisine.

Dongqian Lake is Ningbo's weekend heart: a ring of cycling paths, temples, and lakeside villages connected by bridges. Rent a bike and take the loop at your own pace, stopping for lake fish at the villages.

It is a full, relaxed day from central Ningbo. The east shore is quietest; the west has the best seafood tables.

Best for: A lakeside cycle loop, seafood included.
