镇海郑氏十七房景区，位于宁波市镇海区海滨小镇澥浦镇，紧邻329国道，距上海240公里、杭州170公里、舟山40公里，杭州湾跨海大桥、舟山连岛大桥、杭甬高速、甬台温高速贯通四周，交通十分便捷。

    郑氏十七房是由郑氏先祖在南宋时期，从河南荥阳迁徙镇海而建。经保护性修复、开发，现已形成民俗文化旅游胜地和中华传统节庆文化传承基地。村落设计呈棋盘形，整体建筑以幢为单元连成庭院，融合了北方“合院”的大气，浸染了南方楼榭的玲珑，是国内现存规模最大且保存完整的明清古建筑群落。景区一期保护工程占地100余亩，规模宏大、气势磅礴。据史书记载：十七房有三宝，旗杆最多，最高，宁波都能看得到；十七房三年不下雨，河水不会干涸；十七房马头墙最多，一级要比一级高，台风吹不倒。

    镇海郑氏十七房是宁波商帮的最早发源地之一。十七房宅上有街，街中有市，市中有店，有铺，有坊。宅外有环河，家家有埠头，小河外有大河，河边小桥流水，杨柳拂岸，倒影横斜。十七房水系直通宁波、海上，从这里走出了晚清最大的全盛民信局创办人郑景丰、“老凤祥”创始人郑熙、老北京“四恒银号”兴办人郑世昌，中国第一家大型冷藏企业的开创者郑方、英雄墨水肇始者郑尊法等一批批商业巨子。当年，由清乾隆爱子成亲王题写的“淇水烟波半含春色”诗句，字迹依旧，似乎在向世人诉说着宁波商帮最早的郑氏商帮集团曾经的光荣与梦想……
