宁波，是一座值得慢慢逛的城市。它的好逛，不只在老外滩的百年风情、南塘老街的市井烟火，也藏在四明山的苍翠林涧与东钱湖的潋滟波光里。这一期，我们先从山水出发，再走进城里的街巷，一路读懂宁波。
Ningbo is a city worth exploring at a leisurely pace. Its appeal lies not only in the century-old charm of the Old Bund and the bustling life of Nantang Old Street, but also in the verdant streams of Siming Mountains and the shimmering waters of Dongqian Lake. In this edition, we begin with the mountains and waters, then step into the city's streets and alleys, discovering Ningbo along the way.
