About this place
Jinhua is a prefecture-level city in central Zhejiang Province that balances over 2,200 years of history with the energy of a modern regional hub. Often overlooked in favor of its more famous neighbors, it rewards visitors with ancient architecture, forested mountains, and a deep-rooted local culture. Traditional crafts such as Dongyang woodcarving and the celebrated Jinhua ham are woven into daily life, while lively temple fairs and folk festivals keep centuries-old customs alive.
The city sits among rolling hills and winding rivers, giving it a scenic backdrop that appeals to hikers and nature enthusiasts. Urban districts, meanwhile, showcase the rapid growth typical of contemporary China, with busy commercial areas, an expanding high-speed rail network, and a manufacturing-driven economy that anchors central Zhejiang. This mix of old and new makes Jinhua a place where travelers can experience both authentic Zhejiang traditions and the pulse of a forward-looking city.
