Things to do in Wenzhou

As the evening breeze caresses the Wenrui River, one can experience the romantic nighttime atmosphere of Wenzhou. The city lights gradually illuminate the scene, ancient bridges lean against the flowing water, and old buildings with white walls and gray tiles gaze at the distant city lights. Layers of shimmering light float on the river's surface as boats glide by, shattering the sparkling reflections.

Dongtou Wanghai Tower truly lives up to its title of "Number One Tower in Southeast China," its ancient building boasting exquisite and grand eaves. Climbing to the top floor offers panoramic views of hundreds of islands dotting the landscape, the azure sea stretching to the horizon, and the scenery of Banping Mountain and the fishing port. The exhibition halls inside showcase local fishing customs, providing insights into Dongtou's maritime history. The park's gentle walking paths are perfect for seniors to stroll and relax, offering an excellent vantage point for overlooking the entire city of Dongtou.

🌞 I'm in Wenzhou! With no plans, I just casually wandered around and stumbled upon the famous Wuma Street. It's a bit like the bustling Nanjing Road in Shanghai, but a bit more gentle and slower. 🏛️ The buildings lining the street are Baroque-style buildings from the Republican era. The sunlight dappled the facades, creating a beautiful, mottled effect. While walking, I came across the magnificent bronze statue of "Five Galloping Horses." It was truly breathtaking!✨ There's also the First Department Store and century-old shops—it's like you can smell the scent of bygone times. 📍 Address: Wuma Street, Lucheng District, Wenzhou (between Jiefang Street and Fuqian Street) ⏰ Hours: Open all day, feel free to stroll around. 🪶 Fun Fact: Wuma Street got its name from the fact that when Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty traveled, the street was wide enough to accommodate five horses galloping side by side. Isn't that quite poetic? ⸻ 🐎 1️⃣ Five Galloping Horses Bronze Statue The bronze horses looked particularly imposing in the sunlight, and many people stopped to take photos. On a clear day, the light and shadows on the horses made them look like they were galloping, so dynamic! 🏮 2️⃣ Chan Street Archway The archway of the New Guoguang Building is easily recognizable from afar. Further in, you can see the Jingguang Pagoda on Songtai Mountain. I happened to be there during sunset, and the warm light was incredibly beautiful. 📸 🏛️ 3️⃣ Baroque Buildings Every corner offers a great photo opportunity. The Republican-era-style exterior walls glow golden in the sunlight during the day and warm in the light at night. Wherever you walk by, you'll feel like you've traveled back in time. 🎭 4️⃣ Ancient Theater The bluestone pavement, carved stone figures, and the archway across the street are all incredibly exquisite. The ancient stage and modern architecture juxtaposed side by side create a wonderful contrast, a truly Wenzhou-inspired experience. ⸻ 🚶‍♀ I didn't take the train~ I preferred to walk slowly, take photos, and enjoy snacks. No rush, no set route. Just let my feet take me wherever I want to go.💭

After reading the comments, I felt like I went to a fake Yuliao? Why did I navigate to the Yuliao Visitor Center and it said there was a paid seaside boardwalk, but there was no staff and the boardwalk was broken in the middle. Locals said it was closed (⁼̴̤̆ ㉨⁼̴̤̆  ) The big beach was also average

I went to Jingshan Park on the weekend and visited the Huguo Temple. It was beautiful inside. It was very comfortable and fresh. The incense in the temple always gave people a very peaceful feeling.

Taogong Cave is indeed just a cave, but it's quite unique due to its natural features. The release pond at the entrance is teeming with fish; I always wonder if the red field fish served in nearby farmhouses are made from these fish. And the Ascension Stone at the entrance is clearly no ordinary object.

Lishui Ancient Street is brimming with ancient charm. The winding corridors built along the water's edge, with red lanterns reflecting in the clear water, create a captivating atmosphere. The clean and tidy cobblestone streets, ancient bridges and pavilions, and other structures are scattered throughout, possessing both the gentleness of a Jiangnan water town and the lively atmosphere of an ancient village in Yongjia. The shops along the street are artistic yet down-to-earth, and the night view is particularly photogenic. With its relaxed pace and lack of commercialism, it's perfect for leisurely strolls and taking pictures, making it a must-visit hidden gem in Nanxi River – a truly fantastic experience!
