A Guide to Wandering Wenzhou: A Gentle Encounter Between Mountains and Sea

Wenzhou's gentleness is the misty morning in the mountains, the lively atmosphere of the seafood market, and a bowl of wontons at the corner of an old street. Here's a three-day, two-night slow travel guide for those who want a "lie-down vacation"! Day 1: Old Town Stories and Seafood Feast Morning: Artistic Awakening at Mochi Lane The art museum in Mochi Park houses Wenzhou's thousand-year-old cultural heritage. The wooden door of Zhu Ziqing's former residence creaks open, as if taking you back to the Republican era. Don't miss the almond tofu dessert shop at the entrance of the alley! It's icy cold with a hint of mint, perfect for cooling down. Afternoon: The Hustle and Bustle of Shuomen Old Street An old street untouched by commercialization! Grandmas sit on their doorsteps drying salted fish, and the sound of storytelling drifts from the old teahouse. "Changren Wontons" have paper-thin skin and shrimp fillings that will tantalize your taste buds. Buy a piece of glutinous rice cake from the shop next door; it's soft and chewy with the fragrance of sweet osmanthus. Evening: A Love Letter from the Waves of Dongtou Island Drive for 1 hour to Dongtou (about 2 hours by bus). The colorful fishing village under the sunset looks like an overturned palette! Must-try dishes at the open-air food stalls include razor clams with scallions and fried crabs. Enjoy a feast for around CNY 80 per person. Stay in a seaside homestay and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Day 2: Poetic Landscapes and Rejuvenating Spa Morning: Waterfall Therapy at Baizhangji Waterfall The "highest waterfall in China" lives up to its name! The spray of water hits your face, and rainbows appear and disappear. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes, as the stone path under the waterfall can be slippery. Afternoon: Taishun Covered Bridges: A Time Capsule After a 2-hour drive, arrive at the "hometown of covered bridges." The ancient camphor trees by the Beijian Bridge have stood guard for thousands of years. Jump back and forth on the Dingbu Bridge and rediscover your inner child! Don't forget to soak in the radon springs on your way back. The mountain hot springs will cure all your fatigue. In-depth Experience Guide! 🌟 Food Map: Breakfast: Glutinous rice + soy milk (old shop on Gongyuan Road) Late-night snack: Pork offal noodles on Shamaohe Road. The large intestine is soft, glutinous, and has no fishy smell! Souvenirs: Wenzhou duck tongues and fish cakes, vacuum-packed for easy carrying. 🚗 Transportation Tips: Airport bus to downtown Wenzhou: CNY 15/person; car rental is recommended for Taishun. Yandangshan High-speed Rail Station has a direct bus to the scenic spot, which is very convenient! 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations: Dongtou: "Haixia Homestay," the sunrise view from the terrace is stunning! Downtown: "Nantang Yueju," a 5-minute walk to Impression Nantang.
