Xikou, the first town of the Republic of China, is located in Fenghua, Ningbo, Zhejiang. If you, like me, love the history of the Republic of China, then besides Nanjing, this place is very worth visiting. This is the former residence of Mr. Jiang, the three-mile-long street of Wuling, along the green Shanxi, overlooking the majestic Xuedou Mountain, a second back to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Endless sigh, a piece of green mountains and rivers of the geomantic treasure, like the Peach Blossom Spring flourishing, the gentleman who came out, changed China at that time. 🚌Transportation: Self-driving from Ningbo Railway Station to Fenghua Xikou Tengtou Scenic Area. 🎫Ticket: Jiang's former residence 120 yuan, Jiang's former residence + Xuedou Mountain joint ticket 180 yuan. ⏰Play time: 2—4 hours 👉🏻Tour route: Wuling Gate (viewing from the tower)→Wushan Temple→Wenchang Pavilion (former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang)→Xiaoyang Building (former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Jingguo)→Wuling School Auditorium→Wuling School (Jiang's father and son history museum)→Jiang's ancestral hall-Fenghao Room-Yutai Salt Shop (birthplace of Mr. Jiang) 🥨Play strategy: ❶Wuling Gate: The necessary gate to enter the scenic area, Mr. Jiang repaired during the Republic of China, the two characters of Wuling on the door were inscribed by the elder of the Republic of China, Yu Youren, go up and blow the wind on the city tower. ❷Wenchang Pavilion: It was built in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, and was rebuilt by Mr. Jiang when he returned to his hometown to sweep the tomb in 1924.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Xueliang, who was here after the Xi'an Incident, is said to have stayed here for 10 days, then was taken to Xuedou Mountain, and then everyone knew. ❸Xiaoyang Building: Adjacent to Wenchang Pavilion, this is where Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Jingguo used to live. What is worth seeing here is the monument of Jiang Jingguo's surgery to wash blood with blood, in memory of his mother Mao Fumei being bombed by the Japanese army. Xiaoyang Building can be climbed to the top, look at the nearby Shanxi and ancient trees from the top of the building. ❹Wuling School Auditorium: Don't miss it. A second back to the Republic of China, the auditorium podium, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's image, wooden stairs, Mr. Jiang's portrait and the history of Wuling School on the left, pulled me back to the early years of the Republic of China, the first glimpse of the modern education style, from Wuling can be reflected. ❺Wuling School: Focus on visiting the Jiang's father and son history museum, the towering trees in the courtyard seem to be telling people about the past. ❻Yutai Salt Shop: Mr. Jiang was born on the second floor of the salt shop. ❼Fenghao Room: The original match Mao Fumei and Jiang's mother's residence. 🚕Parking: The Xinan parking lot is spacious, and the bridge is the scenic area; you can also park in the underground parking lot of the tourist service center. ❗Tips: ①There is not much to eat in the scenic area, you can bring your own food. ②The streets on both sides are free, there is a bridge in Wenchang Pavilion that is particularly out of the picture, very beautiful.

On the way back to Hangzhou from Ningbo, I stopped by here for a walk. I thought it would have a strong commercial atmosphere. I didn't expect it to be such a place where I could walk around and relax quietly. Maybe it was because it wasn't the weekend. There weren't many people on the road early in the morning, so I took a leisurely walk and it felt much better than I had imagined. This trip is worth it [ThumbsUp]

The Former Residence of Chiang Kai-shek is located at No. 77, Wuling West Road, Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It is the former residence of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo. The Former Residence of Chiang Kai-shek includes Yutai Salt Shop, Fenghao House, Xiaoyang House, Leting (formerly known as Wenchang Pavilion), Miaogao Terrace, and Cian Temple. The corridors, walls, and columns of Fenghao House are covered with carved paintings, all of which are based on the stories of "The Investiture of the Gods," "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "The Complete Biography of Yue Fei," and the myth of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The characters and artistic conceptions are all vivid, reflecting the owner's wish for good luck and the superb skills of Chinese folk artists. On September 15, 1887, Chiang Kai-shek was born in Yutai Salt Shop in the Former Residence of Chiang Kai-shek. The following year, Yutai Salt Shop was destroyed by fire, and Chiang Kai-shek and his mother moved to Fenghao House. In 1924, Chiang Kai-shek entrusted his brother Jieqing to demolish and rebuild Wenchang Pavilion, which was completed the following year and renamed "Leting." He also wrote "Leting Ji" to commemorate the event. In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek built three villas and inscribed the words "Miaogao Terrace." In 1930, Xiaoyang House was built. On December 12, 1939, Leting was destroyed by Japanese bombing. In 1948, Yutai Salt Shop was infested by termites and was demolished and rebuilt again. Chiang Kai-shek inscribed the words "Original Site of Yutai Salt Shop" and signed "Zhongzheng," which was engraved on a stone and erected at the base of the gate wall. In May 1949, Xikou was liberated, and Yutai Salt Shop was taken over by the government and became Xikou Health Center and Fenghua County Third Guest House. In 1983, the government began to restore the buildings of the Former Residence of Chiang Kai-shek, such as Yutai Salt Shop, Leting, Xiaoyang House, Miaogao Terrace, and Cian Temple, according to their original appearance and layout, and partially opened them to the public.

One day in March 49 years ago, Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Taiwan, said to his son Chiang Ching-kuo: I don’t want to be buried in Taiwan after I die. Let me be buried in Cixi first. If there is a chance, bury me in Purple Mountain in Nanjing. I want to accompany the late Prime Minister. After Chiang Kai-shek died, the Cixi Hotel in Taiwan became the Cixi Mausoleum, and was later renamed "Chiang Mausoleum". Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek’s last wish was never fulfilled until Chiang Ching-kuo’s death. Before his death, Chiang Ching-kuo told his descendants that he did not want to be buried in Taiwan, and that he would like to be buried next to his mother's grave in his hometown of Xikou, Zhejiang if he had the chance. Today, neither the father nor the son of the Jiang family has been formally buried. I don’t know when their last wishes will come true. 21 years after Chiang Kai-shek's death, his grandson and his family set foot on the mainland of the motherland and went to Xikou to pay homage to their ancestors. Although he declared after returning that he would bring Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo back to the mainland for burial, the Taiwan authorities did not approve it. In the same year, this descendant of the Jiang family also passed away.

I've heard of the fame of Fenghua Xikou for a long time, and the scenery is indeed beautiful. It's very convenient to come to Xikou Town from Ningbo city. Public transportation can reach the bus station in the town, and it's not far to the core scenic area. However, the last bus back to the city is relatively early in the evening. The attractions are basically all on the town along the river, from the former residence to the school, ancestral hall, and salt shop, lined up along the river, you can tour the whole process on foot. Because it is mainly cultural landscape, it is best to have some understanding of modern history and local area, so it doesn't look so monotonous. Or follow the guide to listen to the explanation, understand the story of each building and each attraction, compare with historical photos, imagine, it is more interesting than simply visiting. Cross the bridge from the core scenic area to the other side of the river, look at the scenic area from the other side of the river, quiet and few people, the scenery is better.
