Dapengshan Tourist Resort is located to the north of Ningbo urban area, near Jiulong Lake scenic area. It is a vacation area developed in recent years. It is said that this is the departure place of Xu Fu’s eastward voyage. Now, not only can you see historical sites commemorating Xu Fu here, but also supporting facilities such as amusement parks and resort hotels have been built. It is an ideal choice for weekend vacations. The resort has two main scenic areas, the Xianfo Valley scenic area on the mountain and the Dapengshan Round-the-Lake Paradise (Around the World in 80 Days theme park) at the foot of the mountain. Playing in the entire resort area for about two days and one night is just right. The Round-the-Lake Paradise is a favorite place for children. Adults can climb the mountain in the Xianfo Valley, visit the temples on the mountain and see ancient stone carvings, which is also very suitable. Accommodation and dining are concentrated near the two scenic areas at the foot of the mountain. The Dapengshan Grand Hotel (five-star) is a popular choice for tourists on vacation here. You can see the Round-the-Lake Paradise below from your room and enjoy the scenery of Jiaohu Lake opposite. In addition to being close to the scenic spots, guests staying here can generally exchange room cards for tickets to the above two scenic areas, which is very cost-effective. If you want something cheaper, you can also stay in the nearby International Youth Hostel. The standard room is about one or two hundred yuan. Tourists with children usually go straight to the Round-the-Lake Paradise. This is somewhat similar to the Window of the World in Shenzhen. It gathers scaled-down famous historical sites and landmark buildings from all over the world, such as the Statue of Liberty in the United States, the Parthenon in Greece, the Roman Colosseum and so on. The park is divided by continents. You can start from Asia and spend most of the day ‘travelling around the world’. It is great for bringing children to gain knowledge and take stylish photos. The amusement park also has essential amusement items such as pirate ships, drop towers, roller coasters and rapid water rides. And almost all of them are included in the general admission ticket. Moreover, compared with other amusement parks, there are many fewer tourists in the Round-the-Lake Paradise, which can save a lot of queuing time and let you have a great time. The Xianfo Valley scenic area on the mountain is usually reached by driving (about 7 kilometers). There are also shuttle buses at the foot of the mountain to and from the Xianfo Valley. This is a scenic area themed on commemorating Xu Fu. It is nice to see the natural scenery and relax.
