Wenzhou rewards those who take time to look. The old quarter of Jiangxin Island sits in the middle of the Ou River with pavilions and ancient temples. The city's Christian churches — the legacy of a century of missionary activity — are unexpectedly striking. Nearby Yandang Mountains, one of the great geological spectacles of Zhejiang, are the main reason to linger. Within the city, the Wenzhou Museum covers local history and traditional crafts; the Jiangxin Island scenic area is the place to walk at dusk.
