City Overview
Wenzhou, on the coast of southern Zhejiang, is the birthplace of China’s private economy and the "Wenzhou model," with light manufacturing (shoes, apparel, electrical goods, lighters) everywhere and merchants worldwide. Its dialect is famously distinct and its overseas-Chinese community large (especially in Europe). Cost of living is mid-range with active private capital; mountains meet the sea and the climate is mild.
