By plane

Wenzhou Airport is east of the city, receiving flights from around China, and because it also supports flights to and from Hong Kong, it is concidered international. Wenzhou Airport recently built a new terminal which is much more user friendly and less oppressive for foreigners.

By train

Wenzhou Central Train Station serves most cities throughout China, although because of Wenzhou's mountains, train journeys are sometimes much longer than their bus counterparts. The train station is at the major junction of Wenzhou Avenue where it meets Chezhan Avenue.

By bus

Wenzhou has a number of bus stations that serve a variety of locations around the country. Arrivals from Shanghai and Fuzhou will find themselves at New South Station which is near the train station on Wenzhou Avenue.

Jiangxin Island

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.

The Wet Lands

A group of around 136 islands with a shitton of bridges connecting them, as well as a bunch only reached by big concrete canoes. In total it is something like 13 square km. They are currently building a bunch of gazebos, gardens and new bridges and plan to officially open the garden as an attraction sometime this year.

Yandang Mountain

(Is probably best done together with nearby Nanxi River by renting a taxi for the whole day, should).

Jiushan Park

A small but picturesque park with a lake and a brand new very high pagoda. Climb to the top for excellent views of the city, which at times can remind one of SimCity. Times refers to the pagoda. 

Pool Halls

There are many pool halls dotted around Wenzhou, ranging from free to ¥30/hour. If you wander past the security guards and get to the 4th floor above Times Square there is a pool hall you can use pro bono.
