As a very Chinese city it is difficult to find English speakers outside of universities, colleges and certain bars. For this reason, Wenzhou is perfect for the home learner to practice their Putonghua out on the street. Watch out for Wenzhounhua though, it sounds incredibly different from any Chinese you have ever heard before.
百丈漈; bǎi zhàng jì
洞头列岛
Group of islands off the coast. There is a bunch of "scenic spots"; you have to pay for some. Once there, it is probably easiest to take a taxi to the different scenic spots. Do not believe the touts that approach you when you get off the bus.
东门街; Dōngménjiē
Another pedestrian street, less to see than Wuma Street, but it is longer and has trees on it.
江心屿; Jiāngxīnyǔ
An island in the middle of the Oujiang river that runs through Wenzhou. The island has an old pagoda and a new pagoda, large areas of garden and lakes, a water park and a theme park. The theme park is known for its Ferris wheel which gives great views of both sides of the river and also a death-defying roller coaster. Make sure you buckle up tight.
