Took the bus, then subway to the long haul bus station, which was in the building next to the train station. From there, I took a 10 rmb bus to Xue Dou Shan. Shan means mountain.

After reaching the bus station, I took a car (uber, didi - Chinese one) right to the scenic area, which was about 20 minutes away and through the city. At the point, I wasn't sure if I was going to stay overnight or not. I reached the scenic spot, bought the entrance ticket for expensive, 150 rmb, like 30 bucks Cdn, boarded the shuttle bus which took me up to the top of the mountain.

From there, I just followed the map that I was given when I bought the ticket to all the different sites. It was a beautiful day, full of sunshine. The views were spectacular, the air was fresh and the crowds were thin.

The next day I explored the city. It was more interesting than I had imagined. On the edge of the city was another scenic spot situated along side a river and small mountain with a pathway leading up it and all around it.

Later, I took the bus out of town to a beautiful, serene lake in a very non-touristy area. I loved how easy it was just to get out of the city and into the mountains.
That evening I took off and headed back to Ningbo, another refreshing trip into nature.
