Off the Beaten Path · Season 8 · Episode 19
Today we head to Ningbo, a city in the Yangtze River Delta. With nearly 10 million people, it is considered smaller by Chinese standards. It is a major trading port and one of the country’s wealthiest cities.

As one of China’s oldest cities, Ningbo blends modern life with deep tradition, creating a unique urban atmosphere.

This dynamic environment attracted Mirka from Slovakia, who moved here two years ago to be with her partner Bin. The two met in Europe and chose Ningbo as their home.
