Wenzhou, the third largest city in Zhejiang Province, is beautiful, but not popular enough. what do you think?

In the eyes of China people, Zhejiang has always been a fertile land with a long history, splendid culture and outstanding people. There are many fascinating tourist destinations. Yu Fan has visited this treasure house of Zhejiang many times, but he passed Wenzhou, the capital of private economy in China, many times. Fortunately, he finally came to this beautiful land after attending a chamber of commerce some time ago. I didn't bring my professional camera because I didn't participate in the travel experience activities. I took this group of photos with my mobile phone during my trip. Now share it with you and talk about Wenzhou.

Wenzhou is the third largest city in Zhejiang, second only to Ningbo in Hangzhou. It is located in the southeast of Zhejiang, downstream of Oujiang River, bordering the East China Sea in the east, Fujian in the south, Lishui in the west and Taizhou in the north. It is the cradle of mathematicians in China, the hometown of South Opera in China, the hometown of seafood and eggs in China, and the reputation of shoes capital in China. Because Wenzhou people are good at doing business, they are also called Oriental Jews.

It's rare that we didn't take part in the activities as tourists, so our trip was very easy. We arrived in Wenzhou by plane from Shenzhen the day before and stayed at Shangri-La International Hotel in Wenzhou, which was arranged by Tongnan Branch of Chongqing Chamber of Commerce in Zhejiang Province. The conditions are very good.

Outside the window is Oujiang, the mother river of Wenzhou, a bustling urban area along the river. It can be seen that this area is not a traditional old city, not only there are no old residential areas, but also the floor area ratio is very low, and there are still a large number of construction sites and open spaces to be built. The buildings are mainly office buildings, hotels and financial institutions, with all-glass curtain walls.

It was very hot that day. We stayed in the room until dinner and went downstairs after six o'clock. Then we walked along Oujiang River, the mother river of Wenzhou, with Mr. Ji Youming, the financial director of Tongnan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong.

Along the way, we not only observed this famous historical and cultural city, but also talked about it as "the southeast landscape is the best in the world". Wenzhou is an ancient Ou Di, also known as Ou, with the reputation of Lucheng. According to legend, when the county was built in 323 AD, there was a white deer holding flowers around the city, so it was also called Lucheng among the people.

Wenzhou is famous all over the country. It can be said that China is the pioneer area of private economy development and the front position of reform and opening up. Wenzhou people are good at doing business all over the country, and the "Wenzhou model" and "Wenzhou businessmen" are well-known at home and abroad, which can be said to be a very loud city card in Wenzhou.

Wenzhou has played a very important role in the course of 40 years of reform and opening up. The "Wenzhou model" created by Wenzhou businessmen has created a remarkable "economic miracle": from 1978 to 20 19, Wenzhou's GDP increased from 132 billion yuan to 6606 10 billion yuan, an increase of 500 times.

Wenzhou covers an area of about 1. 1.7 million square kilometers. In the early 1980s, with the opening of the first batch of coastal cities, Wenzhou people made every effort to develop light manufacturing industry according to local conditions. For a time, family workshops spread all over the city, and the market economy was extremely hot. Wenzhou private enterprises, which have experienced numerous storms, have gradually become bigger and stronger through years of exploration, and continue to expand outward. Now Wenzhou people's shoes, glasses, valves, lighters, clothing, transformers, pens, printed matter, locks and so on. It's very famous at home and abroad. China Shoes King, Pen King and Lock King … abound.

Wenzhou may be a great city, but in recent years, there have been many comments criticizing Wenzhou on the Internet, saying that "real estate speculation once made Wenzhou people rich; Real estate speculation finally destroyed Wenzhou's economy. Wenzhou model thrives on pragmatism, but declines on retreat ... "At the same time, in the ranking of per capita GDP of Zhejiang cities from 2065438 to 2009, Wenzhou actually ranked first from the bottom, which is incredible.

Economic data may be a bit abstract, but when we walk along the river, we feel the same way. Undeniably, the architecture on both sides of Oujiang River in Wenzhou is exquisite, which provides a very comfortable leisure environment for local people, but we didn't see many people along the way, let alone tourists.

If it's because of the hot weather, it's already after dinner, and it's almost seven o'clock. The riverside at this time is actually not hot. If it is in other cities, I believe that many citizens have already started to walk or even dance in the square dance, while there are few pedestrians on the riverside in Wenzhou, which obviously gives people a feeling of lack of popularity.

Although there are not many pedestrians on the riverside and streets, Wenzhou is still a strong economic city in our minds. In 20 19, Wenzhou's per capita deposit was 82,927 yuan, more than 20,000 yuan higher than that of the whole country. However, the phenomenon that Yu Fan saw does not rule out that it is due to geographical reasons. Because there was a meeting in the hotel the next day, I didn't go to other areas, just strolled around Lucheng District. If you have any prejudice, welcome.
