The areas that now open to tourists include the Wulongtan Area and Black Cloud Ladder Area.

On the right of the entrance to the area is a 400-year-old Guandi and Dragon Temple. The temple has witnessed countless reconstructions and the present small temple was renovated in the 1990s of the last century. As the temple has the statues of Guandi (or God of War) and the Dragon King, the locals called the temple Guan and Dragon Temple. On the cliff opposite to the temple are inscribed four Chinese characters: Ling Tan Sheng Jing (literally it means "Sacred Land of Holy Pools".)

For the unique position that Long (dragon) occupies in the Chinese culture, China is known as the land of Long, and the Chinese as descendents of Long. This dragon worship began in the primitive times in China. The dragon culture in Wulongtan dates back to the earlier times of history. Well-known sights in Wulongtan include the five wells, 12 waterfalls and Jilong Altar (Altar for offering sacrifices to Dragon). In ancient times, the locals sincerely believed that to pray in Wulongtang is efficacious. And therefore they developed this belief into a local custom to ask the dragon king to grant rains in Tianjin Mountain (literally Mountain of Heavenly Wells) and to pray for timely wind and rain. Therefore, this place abounds in legends and rituals about dragon.

Tianyi Pavilion Library is situated beside the Moon Lake in west Ningbo City. The library, which has survived 430 years of dramas and upheavals, is the oldest existing private library of China and Asia, and one of the world's three oldest libraries kept by a family. For centuries it has been reputed to be the "city of books in South China" for its giant collection of highly-valued ancient books and documents. For those men of letters traveling to Ningbo, a trip to its Tianyi Pavilion has always been a craved experience. However, during the past several hundred years, the library used to be the private property of the Fan family, an absolutely restricted neighborhood. As a result no more than twenty visitors could have a privilege to step into the premises during the past several hundred years. Today Tianyi Pavilion is a vault chosen by the State government to deposit Ningbo's private bibliotheca. It is open to the public too so that experts and scholars can finally have access to their most coveted archives right in the library, rare documents buried under centuries of dust. This can be called "the modern use of the old times". In 1982, the State Council made Tianyi Pavilion one of the country's key cultural heritages, thus turning the library into an indispensable landmark in this city famous for its remarkable historical culture, a star of civilization in which Ningbo people take great pride.

Tianyi Pavilion Library deserves to be called a wonder in the history of libraries in China and Fan Qin the founder of Tianyi Pavilion is the creator of the wonder. Fan Qin, the owner of Tianyi Pavilion was born in Yinxian County and lived during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. In 1532 when he was 27 years old, Fan passed the highest imperial examination and earned the title of jinshi--successful candidate in the examination. After that he served as an imperial governor in many places of China, where he accumulated diverse experiences and made impressive achievements. In 1560 when he turned 55 and was weary of politics, Fan Qin resigned as senior minister of the Ministry of War and returned to his hometown. With remarkable ingenuity he had a house built beside Ningbo's Moon Lake to store his books. Borrowing an idea from The Book of Changes suggested in "Heaven embodied in One gives birth to water, while Earth represented in Six makes it grow", Fan Qin named the new house "Tianyi Pavilion" (that is "Pavilion of Heaven and One"). Books are most vulnerable to fire, he said, but water can suppress fire. Thus the name "Tianyi" hints at the fact that water curbs fire and in this way Fan Qin hoped his stock might for ever be clear of the destructive might of flames. He also wedged the idea into the structure of the library, where one large room constitutes the upper floor, suggesting "Heaven joined with one gives birth to water", whereas downstairs there are six chambers, alluding to the message "Earth coupled with six makes it thrive". Besides he had a pond dug in front of the house, a reservoir in case of fire. There is always water in the pond, even during grave droughts, for it is connected with the Moon Lake on its east side. Thus a similar name "Tianyi Pond". Even the bookcases in the house were made in such sizes that they correspond to the idea of six and one. Indeed everything in the library is evidence of the owner's clever designing.

Fan Qin had a born passion for books. During the years he served as a governor in various provinces he made great efforts in buying books. He did not stop such attempts even after he returned home upon resignation. However unlike his elder and contemporary bibliophiles, Fan Qin did not spend his fortune on the best Song Dynasty editions, rare copies or secretly distributed books, those craved by most book collectors. Instead, he concentrated on local chronicles, records about jinshi in various dynasties and contemporary anthologies, objects spurned by ordinary collectors. Fan Qin was therefore said to be a bit "silly". Many years of gathering, copy work and donations from friends finally turned Fan Qin's stock into a dimension of over 70 thousand volumes. Although only 17 thousand of this number remain in today's Fan Qin library, its local chronicles of the Ming Dynasty and the rolls of jinshi turn out to be its most outstanding and largest portion. 65% of the library's 271 local chronicles and 90% of its 370 rolls of jinshi are the only copies extant in the country. Safely preserved at Tianyi Pavilion now, these are priceless treasures for researchers of Chinese traditional culture.

A vestige of a sea during the geological age, the lake is now 6.5 kilometers wide, 8.5 kilometers long and 45 kilometers in girth. According to historical records, the lake emerged during the Jin Dynasty and was re-canalled in 744 AD during the Tang Dynasty. Thus it is more than 1200 years old now. Strenuous work of labourers in the subsequent dynasties finally turned Dongqian Lake into a first-rate reservoir and irrigation source, particularly renovations and expansions during the Tang and Song Dynasties under the direction of three consecutive county governors of Lu Jinnan, Li Yigeng and Wang Anshi. The lake has long since guaranteed good crops under all types of weather and transformed the whole region into "a fertile land of fish and rice". Later local people built "Temple of Reverends Lu and Li" and "Temple of Wang Anshi" by the lake, as a dedication to these governors' outstanding contributions to the lake.

The major places of interest in at the lake are:

The Hanling Street: a thousand-year-old village used to be known as Hanling City.

"Green mountains like screens surround the lake of blue water like a mirror", this is what everyone can feel when he sits in the boat floating on the Baixi Reservoir.

The Baixi River, the source of the Baixi Reservoir, is the largest river of Ninghai County. The river rises at the northern foot of Huading Mountain of Tiantai Mountain, with its main current as long as 66.5 km and the drainage area of 627 sq km. In the middle reaches at Daguan Mountain, stands the dam of the reservoir, 416 meters long and 127.4 meters high, built in 1966. The reservoir, which cost 540 million yuan, has a capacity of 168.4 million cubic meters and it has multi functions of flood protection, water supply, power generation and irrigation. With a length of 13 km and an area of 3.42 sq km, the reservoir is the largest water conservancy project of Ningbo. For its magnificent green mountains lining along the banks, the reservoir is known as "the Three Gorges of Ningbo" and "the Grand Gorges of East Zhejiang".

According to historical records, the Moon Lake was first excavated in 636 of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). In 833, Magistrate Wang Yuanwei of Maoxian County (the present Ningbo) decided to build water conservancy projects. Under his leadership, channels and weirs were built and water from Lunshan Mountain was led through the waterways into the city and two lakes, the Sun Lake and the Moon Lake thus came into being. During the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, Ningbo had gradually grown into a flourishing metropolis, and a city of strategic importance that was close to the then capital city (Hangzhou in the South Song Dynasty). As the waterways within the city had been successively dredged, a crisscross water network, with the Moon Lake as the heart, was formed. It was well known with its "three rivers plus six canals with a lake at the core".

In the past 800 years, the Moon Lake has been an important academic spot, well known in south China for its fine education tradition and the large number of talented people ever nurtured. He Zhizhang, a famous Tang poet, who called himself a "madman of Siming (Ningbo)", resided as a visitor at the lakeside after his resignation from the Court. The present He Memorial Temple by the Ludian Bridge on the Willow Islet , has been restored as original; and adjacent to it is the General Guan's Temple (Guandi's Temple), which is magnificent and splendid after being renovated.

In the Moon Lake Scenic Area, there are such place of interest as Fang's Residence at the entrance of the Lake, the Qin's Ancestral Hall (the present Ningbo Handicrafts and Arts Gallery), the Site of Koryo Embassy.

A large number of old constructions, such as the Baokui Lane, the Grand Fangyue Residence, the Flower and Fruits Garden Shrine, the He Memorial Temple, the Chaoran Pavilion, and Yintaidi Official Residence, are kept as ever after the renovation and restoration; they either set off one another in the fragrant grass and green trees, or scatter besides pavilions and terraces on the water. These old constructions, imbued with rich cultural flavor, enable one to have a taste of the styles and features of old buildings in East Zhejiang from the Ming Dynasty on to the Period of the Republic of China and to understand the traditional culture at the Lake Area. In a word, the whole scenic area embodies the features of watery regions of east Zhejiang, the styles of Jiangnan Gardens and connotations of history and culture.
