At the heart of Ningbo in Zhejiang province, Sanjiangkou stands as a living tapestry where the city’s maritime legacy blends seamlessly with contemporary flair.
Historically, the confluence of the Yongjiang, Yaojiang and Fenghua Rivers propelled Ningbo onto the global stage as a vital gateway to the Maritime Silk Road. Today, the European-style Old Bund coexists with modern landmarks like Raffles Square, all connected by graceful spans such as Jiangxia and Lingqiao bridges.
By day, the restored docks whisper tales of international trade; by night, neon lights outline its 'Eight Bridges, Ten Scenes', casting vivid reflections on the water. Visitors can hop aboard water buses or tourist cruises to explore every angle of this riverfront revival.
Sanjiangkou is more than a scenic spot—it’s a microcosm of Ningbo’s evolution, embodying the city’s role as both a historic port and a modern economic hub.
