Xikou is a place full of Republican style, there are still 22 well-preserved historical sites of the Republic of China, which is called "the first town of the Republic of China" by contemporary historians, which is represented by the group architecture of Chiang's former residence.
Xikou Republic of China Historical Sites as the "Former Residence of Chiang" complex, it is composed of Fenghaofang, Yutai Salt Shop, Small Bungalow, Wenchang Pavilion and other 8 single cultural protection points, since 1996 has been listed in the national key cultural relics protection unit. The white-walled and black-tiled houses and the evergreen old camphor trees interpret the strong Republican style. Chiang's former residence, located in Xikou, Ningbo, is the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek for generations before and after Chiang Kai-shek, where the Chiang family lived, worked and played. Now it is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction.
Among the ancient buildings in Ningbo, Chiang's Former Residence is a place worth a visit. Here the buildings are connected, the corridor is looped, the ink column is ochre, and the palatial is magnificent, whether it is leisure tourism or to increase insight, it is a good destination.
Chiang's former residence is a group building, which includes Fenghao House, Small Bungalow, and Yutai Salt Shop. Among them, Fenghao House is in Xikou Middle Street, covering an area of 4800 square meters, with a total construction area of 1850 square meters, the gate, suju, baobentang, and independent small building are original, which are Qing Dynasty buildings, and the rest are expanded by Chiang Kai-shek in 1929. The hotel is within walking distance of Chiang's House.
Fenghao House is the ancestral home of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, and the architectural style of Chinese and Western is also the projection of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek's heart. The traditional Chinese courtyard is rich in the pattern characteristics of the old-style Shijia mansion in Jiangnan, and combined with the Western style of gray and steel reinforcement, it has become a symbol of culture. Open the mottled door and step into Chiang's past, the air is filled with the love and hatred of the past, as the years slowly dissipate, push open the carved wooden windows, the two osmanthus trees in the inner courtyard, now lush and shady. The door of Fenghao's room is near the water, and the household reflects the distant mountains, but there is a bit of the artistic conception of Jiangnan landscape painting.
The mother river of the creek mouth, the Xixi River, runs through the town, and the layers on both sides of the creek are green and sparkling, and the clouds, water birds, bamboo rafts, walking trails around the lake, and the houses in the distance form a simple, comfortable and beautiful town scene.
The standard summer for Xikou people must be to go for a walk by the creek at night! Take a small bucket and net pocket to the stream to catch small fish, take off your heavy shoes and socks with the children and rush to the water's edge to fight a water fight, or go to a water curtain movie, and all your troubles are left behind for a while.
There is also a very petty bourgeois "Meiling Coffee" under the Door of Wuling, you can come here at night to punch in, order a cup of coffee, and feel the romantic atmosphere under this dim light.

Speaking of food, Fenghua District is located in the eastern coastal area of Zhejiang and has the reputation of the capital of gastronomy. There are stories of "Ten Bowls of Fenghua", fresh and smooth tributes, delicious yellow fish soup, as well as Fenghua taro head and tender and sweet peaches, not to mention how beautiful the taste is...
Fenghua, produced in Fenghua, Ningbo, is also known as Fenghua cockle, which can tonify blood and strengthen the stomach. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the ancestors began to enjoy this cuisine. During the Tang Dynasty, Feng Gong was also included in the list of tributes. To this day, warming a pot of old wine, scalding a plate of cockles, and peeling cockles while tasting wine are still the love of many Ningbo diners.
