From Sep 9 onwards, Jetstar will be flying three times a week to Ningbo, China.
Once an important stop on the Maritime Silk Road, and home to Tianyi Pavilion Museum (home of China’s oldest library), the real appeal of modern-day Ningbo is its proximity to other destinations. The 22-mile-long Hangzhou Bay Bridge, means the city is now only two hours from Shanghai (competition for Jetstar’s own route from Singapore to Hangzhou). Ningbo is also the jumping-off point for the Zhoushan archipelago, an under-explored collection of sandy beaches and sprawling peach orchards, as well as one of the four most sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism, the island of Putuoshan.
