　　As early as the Han Dynasty, Xikou was known as a "seaside fairyland". It is embraced by mountains and rivers. Xikou has a centuries-old town, spectacular valleys and waterfalls, and the gorgeous Tingxia Lake.

　　早在漢代，溪口就有“海上蓬萊”之稱(chēng)，這里依山傍水，不僅有千年古鎮(zhèn)溪口鎮(zhèn)、幽谷飛瀑雪竇山，還有青山秀水亭下湖。

　　The Xikou Scenic Area is Ningbo's first 5A-rated tourist destination. Located in Xikou Town of Fenghua district, it borders Wuling to the east, Shanxi River to the south, and Xuedou Mountain to the north. It has beautiful scenery and covers an area of 381 square kilometers.

　　溪口景區(qū)是寧波首家國(guó)家5A級(jí)旅游景區(qū)。該景區(qū)坐落在奉化區(qū)溪口鎮(zhèn)，東靠武嶺，南臨剡溪，北靠雪竇山，景色秀麗，區(qū)域面積381平方公里。

　　Xikou's Xuedou Mountain has a warm and humid climate, four distinct seasons, lush green hillsides, and waterfalls. Xuedou Temple, founded in the Jin Dynasty, has a history of more than 1,700 years and is one of the main tourist attractions of Xikou.

　　位于溪口的雪竇山景區(qū)氣候溫暖濕潤(rùn)，四季分明，翠峰寒瀑，氣象萬(wàn)千。其中還有一座雪竇寺，創(chuàng)于晉代，至今已有1700余年歷史，是溪口主要的旅游景觀之一。
