On the Chinese mainland's east coast, Sanjiangkou marks the confluence of three rivers—the Yongjiang, Yaojiang and Fenghua—and opens onto Ningbo's storied past as a Maritime Silk Road port.
Stroll along the Old Bund's European-style facades before crossing the Jiangxia or Lingqiao bridges to reach modern hotspots like Raffles Square. By night, neon lights animate the Eight Bridges, Ten Scenes, where each span tells a story of past and present.
The historical docks, which once loaded goods for overseas voyages, have been reborn as waterways for tourist cruises and water buses. This fusion of maritime heritage with urban buzz reflects Ningbo's evolution from a legendary trading hub into a 21st-century economic powerhouse.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs and digital nomads alike, Sanjiangkou offers a living tapestry of history and modern life where every walkway and bridge invites exploration across cultures and centuries.
