I don't see any reason why an European wouldn't enjoy visiting Ningbo. The city is full with historical and natural sights, and as far as I know is not so big and crowded as other Chinese cities. I've never been there, but for what I've read and heard, it seems a very interesting place to go, I think I'd definately go If I were going to China. A friend of mine that is from France just went there and loved it.
