Gallery week underscores city's thriving contemporary art scene

Ningbo, in Zhejiang province, is known for being a tranquil, picturesque coastal city where intellectuals and influential figures have left rich cultural legacies. It also hosts magnificent cultural sites, such as Tianyige, a private library-turned-public museum that houses a plethora of ancient books, classic texts and documents.

A prosperous city in the booming Yangtze River Delta, Ningbo also fosters a thriving contemporary art scene, as evidenced by its many activities and events, including the recently concluded Ningbo Contemporary 2025.
