About this place
Wenzhou (温州 Wēnzhōu) is the third-largest city in Zhejiang Province and a major economic powerhouse of the region. Famous for its entrepreneurial culture and the "Wenzhou model" of business, the city manufactures around 90% of the world's spectacles and massive quantities of shoes. Its port was one of the first opened to foreign trade after the 1970s, and today it is a prosperous national historical and cultural city with over 2,000 years of history.
Situated near the East China Sea in southeastern China, Wenzhou's terrain is mainly mountainous and hilly, with winding coasts and good harbors. The city is known as a Chinese cultural hotspot, though it is less frequented by international tourists compared to Hangzhou or Ningbo. Still, plenty of attractions await visitors who find themselves here, including Yandang Mountain, Jiangxin Island, Nanxi River, Tongling Mountain, Baizhangjiang River, Nanji Islands, and Baidao Dongtou.
