The Zhaobaoshan Mountain, an important historical coastal defense fortress, is located at the north side of the Yongjiang River and connected to the East China Sea. Nowadays, it is one of the ten most visited scenic spots in Ningbo .
招寶山南接甬江，北臨東海，是中國歷史上重要的海防要塞，也是寧波市十大風(fēng)景游覽區(qū)之一。
Here, people can pay tribute to the Weiyuan City, which was first built by Qi Jiguang, a Chinese hero who resisted foreign enemies in the Ming Dynasty. This historic site, having been renovated across the Qing Dynasty, has survived the changes of times until now.
在這里，人們可以看到明清時期抗倭英雄戚繼光為抵御外敵而建的威遠(yuǎn)城，歷經(jīng)風(fēng)雨如今依然盤踞于此。
The Aozhu Tower stands at the top of the mountain. Overlooking from the tower, the tourists can have a panoramic view of the surrounding area, and they can also see cargo ships in the distance.
山頂有鰲柱塔屹立于此。登塔遠(yuǎn)眺，周邊的風(fēng)光盡收眼底，遠(yuǎn)處的貨船往來有序。
