I prefer to hang out with you in Ningbo, as a local peason to introduce u some places where I visit often.

Such as Ningbo museum/local coffee shop/vintage clothes shop/restaurant/bakery/supermarket/shopping mall/band performance/Tennis center(Ningbo Open in Oct)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned Japanese by myself and traveled Japan 5 times alone during 2018-2025.I watched 2 singing performances of ARASHI,1 Disney musical-the little mermaid(Japanese version),3 days in Koshien, Osaka for Professional baseball games(阪神VS巨人), 1 Kabuki in Kyoto,visited some interesting used clothes shops and lovely coffee shops. It’s very memorable. Using Japanese talking with native speakers, it made my journey be more deeply.

Another thing which I proud of is that I travelled alone in London for one week in May 2025. I only brought a traveling bag without suitcase,it’s sooooooo cool lol. Watched 4 musicals in London(Les Misérables/Hamilton/Wicked/The Great Gatsby),2 Classical music concert in Wigmore hall,visited 1 church and 2 museums(The British museum/ Victoria and Albert Museum) and city walk. I’m glad to visit the wonderful city again and want to explore UK more!
