Dongdamen, one of the seven gates of Cixcheng Ancient Town, was recently restored.

Cicheng Ancient Town, which dates back more than a thousand years, is a national 4A scenic attraction located in Ningbo's Jiangbei district.

Visitors to the ancient town can view architectures from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and savor unique snacks including Cicheng Niangao, a steamed glutinous rice cake.
