Answer

When I look it up it is a city/town, correct? Then you can say "Her birthplace is Ningbo'". If you say "Her birthplace is in Zhejiang province in the town of Ningbo",  but you can  say "Her birthplace is Ningbo in the Zhejiang province '.

Answer

With that sentence construction, keeping 'in' is better. However a much better way is to simply write "she was born in Ningbo ".

Answer

i think you are right
