WenZhou Travel Introduction

      Wenzhou lies in the southeastern coast of Zhejiang Province and is its economic and cultural center. For centuries, the inhabitants of Wenzhou have relied on shipping, trading and fishing for their livelihoods. Its location on the sea has also been crucial to international trades. Wenzhou shoes and electrical appliances are popular both at home and abroad.
      Wenzhou means a mild and pleasant land. The city gets its name because of its mild climate without extremely cold winters or hot summers. It is an ideal place for vacation. Mountains, plains, islands, long rivers and broad seas coexist in the city, providing various Wenzhou attractions. Mt. Yandang, Nanji Islands, Nanxi River and Wuyanling Natural Reserve are all excellent choices for visitors to explore.
      Yandang Mountain Mount Yan Dang is a world geographical park located in Leqing County in the southeast of Wenzhou City. 'Yan' refers to 'wild gooses' and 'Dang' means 'undulating' in Chinese. On the top of the mountain, there is a lake surrounded with reeds, seemingly undulating in the tidal-like breeze. The wild gooses that fly back from the north to avoid cold winter often stay in the dense reeds thicket, giving the name of the mountain 'Yan Dang'.
      Wuyanling National Nature Reserve Located in the Taishun County in the southwest of Wenzhou City, this mountain forest area is a completely natural environment that has hardly been polluted by the outside world. Entering the area, you will be amazed at the extremely primitive and picturesque scenery of misty green mountains, pure glittering streams, splashing waterfalls, emerald pools as well as murmuring birds and fragrant flowers. The fresh mountain air will help to refresh your mind and let you experience nature at its best. Nanji Islands Marine Nature Reserve As China's only national marine nature reserve on the East Sea, this area is also the world ecosphere reserve under the protection of the UNESCO. It is located to the southeast of Pingyang County and is about 70 nautical miles (81 miles) away from the Wenzhou city. The unpolluted environment, pure sea water, beautiful harbors, golden beaches and various shaped islands all contribute to the charm of the place, making it an ideal resort.
       Nanxi River Scenic Area This is a 150 kilometer (93 mile)-long river winding north to south across Yongjia County about 23 kilometers (14 miles) north of the Wenzhou City. The river is well known for its extremely limpid water and well preserved ancient villages along it. As you are boating in the river enjoying views of the dense forest and continuous mountains, or watching the fish play among the beautiful stones in the water, you are slowly captured by the rustic charm of the surroundings and absorbed into the serenity of the environment.
      Local cuisine features fresh seafood. Delicacies such as 'Fish Boiled with Three Kinds of Shreds', Garlic Seasoned Fish skin and other appetizers such as 'Tall Man' Wonton, 'Lamp' Cake and Fish Balls are all favorites renowned for their fresh taste, enticing aroma and beautiful presentation.
      Wenzhou has a subtropical monsoon climate with mild and moist weather and four distinct seasons. But there is tycoon from July to September.
