Essential Travel Tips
Wenzhou is a large city; utilize ride-hailing apps or local taxis for efficient travel between attractions, especially those outside the city center.
Many local eateries may not have English menus, so having a translation app or pictures of dishes you want to try can be very helpful.
Cash is less common; ensure you have mobile payment apps (like WeChat Pay or Alipay) set up, linked to a Chinese bank account if possible, or carry a credit card.
When visiting temples or ancient villages, dress respectfully, covering shoulders and knees.
Tipping is not customary in China, including Wenzhou, for most services.
