I had to kill a day between meetings so a group of us went to a couple tourist spots near Ninghai. One of them was an “ancient stone village” that was about 700 years old. It was an actual living village and not a museum. People were living there and some of the locals are attempting to put it on the map as a tourist destination. It still needs a little work, but it has serious potential. It may be a bit off the beaten path, so location is not in their favor.
The senior manager of the project met us and took us on a VIP tour. He was still lit-up from a beer-infused lunch, so it was a little loud and slurred (if you understood Chinese).
