Wenzhou is second only to Hangzhou, Ningbo, Zhejiang's third largest city, located in southeastern Zhejiang, Oujiang River downstream, east of the East China Sea, south of Fujian, west of Lishui City connected to the north of Taizhou City, bordering on the cradle of China's mathematicians, but also China's hometown of South China's opera, and the hometown of China's seafood and eggs, China's shoes are known as the people of Wenzhou are good at doing business, so the people of Wenzhou are also called the East! The Jews.
Rarely is not the identity of the traveler to participate in the activities, so our trip is very easy, the day before the plane from Shenzhen arrived in Wenzhou, stayed in Zhejiang Chongqing Chamber of Commerce Tongnan Branch to help arrange the hotel - Wenzhou Shangri-La International Hotel, Deluxe King Room, conditions are very good.
Outside the window is Wenzhou's mother river, the Ou River, as well as the thriving urban areas along the river, you can see that this area is not a traditional old city, not only is there no old neighborhoods, the plot ratio is also very low, but also a large number of construction sites and open space to be built. The buildings are also dominated by all-glass curtain wall offices, hotels and financial institutions.
It was a hot day, so we stayed in our room until we had dinner, and then went downstairs after 6:00 p.m. We then took a walk along Wenzhou's mother river, the Oujiang River, with our fellow traveler, Mr. Ji Youming, treasurer of the Tongnan Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong.
Along the way, we are not only observing the history and culture of this city, but also walking and talking about the city with "Southeast landscape A world", Wenzhou ancient Ou, also known as Le Ou, has the reputation of the city of deer, according to legend, in 323 AD, when building the county town, there are white deer flowers around the city week, so the folk also have the name of the city of deer.
Wenzhou in the country's popularity is extremely high, it can be said to be China's private economic development of the pioneering areas and the reform and opening up of the front line, good at doing business in Wenzhou people all over the country, the "Wenzhou model", "Wenzhou businessmen," known at home and abroad, can be said to be extremely loud and clear. The city of Wenzhou can be said to be extremely loud and clear city card.
In the 40 years of reform and opening up, Wenzhou has played a very important role, Wenzhou businessmen created the "Wenzhou model", created a remarkable "economic miracle": from 1978 to 2019, Wenzhou's GDP increased from 1.32 billion yuan to 66.6 billion yuan. 1.32 billion yuan to 660.61 billion yuan, an increase of 500 times;
Wenzhou covers an area of about 11,700 square kilometers, in the early 80's with the first batch of opening up of the coastal cities of the spring breeze, Wenzhou people in accordance with the local conditions to develop the light manufacturing industry. At once, the family workshop all over the city, the market economy is exceptionally hot. Through years of groping and crawling, through countless storms of Wenzhou private enterprises gradually bigger and stronger, and constantly expanding outward. Today, Wenzhou people's shoes, eyeglasses, valves, lighters, clothing, transformers, pens, prints, locks and so on are famous at home and abroad, China's King of Shoes, King of Pens, King of Locks ...... abound.
Wenzhou may be said to be a great city, but in recent years there are a lot of online talk about Wenzhou, said what "speculation, once rich Wenzhou people; speculation, and ultimately speculate on the economy of Wenzhou. Wenzhou model, due to pragmatic and rise, due to retreat and decline ...... "At the same time, in 2019, the per capita GDP ranking of Zhejiang cities, Wenzhou was ranked in the bottom, let a person incredible.
Economic data may be a bit abstract, but when we walk on the river but have the same feeling, undeniably, Wenzhou's Oujiang River is very beautifully repaired, providing an extremely comfortable leisure environment for the local people, but all the way through but did not see a few people, not to mention tourists.
If it is because the weather is relatively hot, but that time is already after dinner, almost seven o'clock, this time the river is actually not hot, if it is other cities, I believe that a lot of people began to come out to walk, and even square dancing, and Wenzhou's riverside, but few pedestrians, obviously give a person has a feeling of lack of popularity.
Despite the fact that there are not many pedestrians on the riverside and streets, Wenzhou is still an economic powerhouse in our minds, with a per capita deposit of 82,927 yuan in Wenzhou in 2019, which is more than 20,000 yuan per capita than the national per capita deposit, and the phenomenon seen by Yufan does not rule out the possibility that this is due to the reason of the region where it is located, because the next day we have to have a meeting at the hotel, so we did not go to other areas, just around Lucheng District. Wandering a few times, if there is bias, welcome to correct.
