Hey everyone! Today, I have to share my secret travel destination: Wenzhou! It's like an underrated gem, full of surprises. Let me take you on this dreamy journey! ✨
Travel Preparations
● ID: ID and student ID (if you have them, be sure to bring them; many attractions offer discounts).
● Clothing: Wenzhou's climate can be unpredictable, so in addition to seasonal clothing, it's best to bring a light jacket. If you're going to the beach, you can also bring a swimsuit.
● Other Essentials: Sunscreen, sunglasses, an umbrella, and a camera—these are all essential travel essentials. 📷
Transportation Guide
● External Transportation: Wenzhou has an airport and a high-speed rail station, so you can choose the right transportation method based on your location.
● Internal Transportation: Buses and subways are widely available, and taxis are also very convenient. For a more flexible experience, you can even rent an electric scooter. 🛵
Food Guide: Wenzhou's food is a foodie's paradise—every bite is a taste of bliss!
● Glutinous Rice: Start your morning with a steaming bowl of glutinous rice, topped with fried dough sticks and a delicious broth, and you'll feel energized for the day. Recommended restaurant: Aunt Zhou's Glutinous Rice.
● Lantern Cake: Crispy golden crust, soft and fragrant filling—eat it while it's hot. I highly recommend the Dwarf Sponge Cake (the Lantern Cake is also fantastic).
● Seafood: Wenzhou is located by the sea, so seafood is a natural specialty. Buy some fresh seafood at the seafood market and find a processing shop to steam or braise it—it's delicious no matter how you eat it. 😋 I highly recommend the seafood stalls near Nantang Street.
Attractions
Yandang Mountain—A Famous Mountain on the Sea, a World of Unparalleled Beauty. 🏞
Yandang Mountain is world-renowned for its grotesque peaks and rocks, and cascading waterfalls. Be sure to visit the Lingfeng Scenic Area. The views are completely different during the day and at night, creating a magical experience. The Dalongqiu Waterfall, with a dramatic 197-meter drop, is also a sight to behold. We recommend planning a 2-3-day visit. Nanji Islands - Fairyland of Blue Seas 🌊
This is one of China's ten most beautiful islands, boasting crystal-clear waters and soft, soft beaches. Enjoy sunbathing and shellfishing on the beach, or take a boat out to sea for some sea fishing. Don't miss the Sanpanwei Scenic Area on the island, a perfect spot for sunrise viewing. A two-day visit is recommended.
Jiangxin Island - The Island of Poetry 🏝
Located in the middle reaches of the Oujiang River, Jiangxin Island is one of China's four famous islands. Home to historical sites such as the East and West Twin Pagodas and Jiangxin Temple, the island is also home to numerous poems inscribed by famous figures. Here, you can experience a rich historical and cultural atmosphere. Duration: One day.
Nanxi River - The Cradle of Landscape Poetry 🏞
The beauty of the Nanxi River lies in its natural beauty and ancient charm. Take a bamboo raft down the river to admire the lush mountains and clear waters on both sides, or visit ancient villages to experience traditional farming culture. We recommend the Lion Rock Scenic Area and Furong Ancient Village. Duration: Two days. Accommodation Recommendations
● If you want to stay in the city center for convenient transportation and shopping, choose a hotel near Wuma Street.
● If you're visiting Yandang Mountain, it's recommended to stay near the scenic area to save time and energy.
● For the Nanji Islands, there are many B&Bs to choose from, and the sea view rooms are stunning.
