Make this route your own

Use these days as a starting point and adjust the pace to suit you. Check the linked attraction guides for reservations and closures, and allow a full day for longer outings. Confirm weather and tickets before setting off.

Choose one route for each day with alternatives below. Only its listed stops are imported. Optional stops stay in the guide, and opening days still need checking for your dates.

Make room for local life

Choose which visits to shorten or replace. Check the experience’s address and conditions, and arrange meals, shows or workshops separately. The booking planner saves the listed attraction visits.

DAY1

Lucheng

River island and old center

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Use Jiangxin Island only with confirmed ferries, then walk a short Wuma Street or Nantang route. Keep the evening flexible around the actual return.
  2. Before departure: confirm the exact open entrance, admission product, original-passport process and both outward and return transport; none is inferred from the directory rating.
  3. Use the stated alternatives selectively. Preserve time for meals, security checks and transfers; named alternatives are not a requirement to visit every listed attraction.
If the plan changes

If the main site is full, closed or affected by weather, choose one of this day’s geographically compatible alternatives only after its own opening and admission are confirmed. Otherwise swap with the city’s collection or public-neighborhood day; public outdoor routes are not severe-weather shelter.

DAY2

Urban Wenzhou

Collections and wetlands

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Prioritize Wenzhou Museum and select a modest Sanyang Wetland circuit if weather allows. Yongchang Fortress is an alternative Longwan heritage half-day with its own transfer.
  2. Before departure: confirm the exact open entrance, admission product, original-passport process and both outward and return transport; none is inferred from the directory rating.
  3. Use the stated alternatives selectively. Preserve time for meals, security checks and transfers; named alternatives are not a requirement to visit every listed attraction.

DAY3

Yueqing

Yandang peaks

Planner route: Yandang peaks.

Planner stops: Yandang Mountain.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Protect a full day or overnight for selected Yandang Mountain sections. Confirm shuttles and separate section tickets; avoid an additional Nanxi valley checklist.

Yongjia or Wencheng

Nanxi valley or Wencheng falls

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Choose Nanxi River villages and one landscape stop, or a separate Baizhangji/Liu Bowen day. Zeya is another independent rural alternative, not a connecting shortcut.
  2. Before departure: confirm the exact open entrance, admission product, original-passport process and both outward and return transport; none is inferred from the directory rating.

Dongtou, Rui’an, Taishun or Nanji

Choose one distant direction

These are alternatives. The planner adds only the stops in your chosen option.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Select Dongtou coast, Rui’an Yuhai Library/Xianyan, Taishun covered bridges, or Nanji as an overnight ferry trip. These directions cannot all fit in one day; retain weather flexibility.
  2. Before departure: confirm the exact open entrance, admission product, original-passport process and both outward and return transport; none is inferred from the directory rating.
  3. Use the stated alternatives selectively. Preserve time for meals, security checks and transfers; named alternatives are not a requirement to visit every listed attraction.

These are alternatives to consider, not extra stops to add to the same day. Check locations and transfer times before replacing an itinerary stop; a distant excursion may need a full day.
