About Wenzhou
Wenzhou is located at the middle section of the circum-Pacific
18,000-kilometer-long west coast of China, intersecting the two economic zones
of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River Deltas. It is the economic, cultural
and transport center of south Zhejiang Province.
Wenzhou derives its present name from its mild climate. It is a
part of those subtropiclal maritime regions with a humid climate, noticeable
for its alternating dry and monsoon periods, with distinct seasons and abundant
rainfall, yet without intense heat in the summer nor bitter cold in the winter.
Since Wenzhou is a coastal city, seafood is the most popular
cuisine in the Chinese restaurants in Wenzhou and a lot of local dishes are
based on seafood.
