Ningbo is one of China's most ancient cities, with a history dating back over 8,000 years, and as a part of the trade route known as the Silk Road, has through many dynasties to the present day been a critical seaport and trading center of China.

This book is in two parts: Part One has selections from historical writings by famous and not-so-famous travelers to Ningbo, giving a clear picture of old Ningbo, and detailing the fascinating elements of this ancient port city. Part Two consists of 19 essays by contemporary foreign friends who have come to Ningbo to work, play, and live a good life. The writers come from many countries, have many different occupations, and have enjoyed many different personal experiences in Ningbo. But they all have one thing in common: they fell in love with the city, many making Ningbo their permanent home.
