WENZHOU, ZHEJIANG, P. R. CHINA


WANG HAN CASUAL DRESSING PLAZA.

In Dec. of `04 we took our nephew, and his new bride, on a honeymoon, as a wedding present, to YanDang Mountain Park. Wenzhou is the closest, major, centre.

Although it was not tourist season, early December, it was difficult to get seats on the train.

A seat to Wenzhou from Shanghai cost Y94.

Later in the evening we arranged, for an extra Y375, for seven of us, for beds that would come vacant in the middle of the night. Each bed is narrow and there are three, from floor to ceiling, on each side of the little rooms. The price for the beds vary, depending on whether you are on the top, bottom, or in the middle.

We were only in Wenzhou, twice, for a total of 6 hours.

Wenzhou is a city, about 250 KM, South of Hang Zhou.

It has a population equal to Vancouver, B. C. Canada, About 1.5 Million.

It services a surrounding population of another 5 Million.
