The "Ancient Charm and Cultural Heritage Tour" takes travelers to sites such as Lao Wai Tan, Tianyi Pavilion, Dongqian Lake, and more providing a glimpse into Ningbo's rich historical and cultural background. Meanwhile, the "Artisan Showcase Tour" allows tourists to experience traditional intangible cultural heritage skills, including gold and silver embroidery, lost-wax casting, and wooden construction, immersing them in the exquisite beauty of Chinese traditional culture.

During the Ningbo cultural and tourism promotional event, Ningbo's cultural and tourism resources were presented under three thematic sections: "Born by the Mountains and Seas," "Exploring Millennium Culture," and "Witnessing Modern Prosperity." These presentations used various multimedia formats, live introductions, and interactive experiences to showcase the diverse cultural and tourism resources Ningbo has to offer.
