Ningbo Fun Facts 101·Legendary Streets Episode 25 Chejiao Street

Commercial culture is prevalent in Ningbo, reflected in the naming of many local areas. Next to Lingqiao Bridge, a north-south road connects Yaohang Street and Zhongshan East Road. This is Chejiao Street. Not until the late Qing Dynasty (1840-1912) did it change from its original name, “Cheqiao Street”.
