Wenzhou

Wenzhou spreads across mountainous terrain and several islands off the East China Sea coast, with seventy percent of its territory consisting of mountains.

The settlement became a foreign-trade port in 999 during the Song dynasty, developing industries in shipbuilding, papermaking, and lacquerware manufacturing.

The geographical isolation of Wenzhou led to the formation of a distinct local dialect and customs different from neighboring regions in Zhejiang province.

Longwan International Airport connects to major cities while two railway stations provide regular train services to Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.

Wenzhou manufactures twenty percent of the world's shoes, earning its designation as the global capital of shoe production and export.
