WENZHOU AMUSEMENT PARK TOURISM RESORT

5.2

5.0/5

255 reviews

The third-phase project of Wenzhou Amusement Park Resort is located south of Huanshan Road in Ouhai District, adjacent to Wenzhou Amusement Park to the west and Wenzhou Polar Ocean World to the north. With a total investment of 1 billion yuan, the project covers a planned area of 53,768 square meters. It will be developed into a comprehensive tourism destination featuring a water park, a family-themed resort hotel, and an international circus. This project will not only fill the gap for large-scale water parks in our city but also leverage the scenic views of Mount Daluo, two small hills within the construction site, and high-standard landscaping to create a tropical rainforest-style water world. The park features 19 activities, including the Giant Tornado, Wave Pool, Rapid River, Waterfall Leap, and Octopus Slide, along with an artificial waterfall where visitors can experience the thrill of rushing through the cascading waters. The international circus project stands 34 meters high with a diameter of over 70 meters, featuring tiered seating and a 7-meter-deep pool that can accommodate more than 2,500 visitors simultaneously. This venue will bring together circus performers from eleven countries worldwide, including nearly a hundred professional actors. Visitors can enjoy thrilling acrobatics, hilarious clown acts, and dreamlike equestrian performances, including the renowned life-and-death wheel show from both domestic and international artists. The family resort hotel has 5 floors with 185 rooms, including 60-square-meter small rooms and 300-square-meter large rooms. The first floor features four oversized fish tanks for mermaid performances, while the second floor offers poolside rooms and courtyard rooms, including an 800-square-meter private pool room—the first of its kind in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian—and a 50-meter rooftop infinity pool. Floors 3 and 4 combine business accommodations, while the 5th floor features loft-style theme rooms with slides. The rooftop will also have an L-shaped "sky pool" designed to the standard 50-meter length. This will integrate with the entire entertainment complex, allowing visitors to enjoy a vacation experience without traveling far. It's worth mentioning that the overall plan for the new main gate of Wenzhou Amusement Park has been submitted to the planning bureau for approval. From the renderings, we can see the new gate's facade is designed like a castle, standing over 40 meters tall with a width of nearly 120 meters. According to reports, Wenzhou Amusement Park was built in 2005 and has witnessed the growth of a generation of Wenzhou residents over its 20-year history. Upon completion of the Phase III (Water World) project, it will become Wenzhou's largest comprehensive tourism resort with extensive land use, significant investment, complete facilities, and high standards. The new phase will integrate with Phase I (Wenzhou Amusement Park) and Phase II (Wenzhou Polar Ocean World), forming a synergistic tourism cluster. The expanded resort is projected to host over 2.5 million domestic and international visitors annually, establishing itself as a premier comprehensive tourism destination in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian regions.

Xianyan Scenic Area

4.1

4.5/5

139 reviews

Xianyan Scenic Areais located 19 km from downtown Wenzhou and is one of Wenzhou's traditional attractions. Among the many attractions in Zhejiang known for their waterfalls, this one may seem obscure, but if you mention Mr. Zhu Ziqing's "Green" from childhood textbooks, you might have a mental image. That's right, the strange and intoxicating "daughter's green" described by Mr. Zhu is exactlyXianyan Scenic AreaMeiyu Pool. Many visitors come here to follow in the master's footsteps. On the way to Meiyu Pool, there are also Leixiang Pool, Longxu Pool, Sangu Pool, and several cultural attractions, each with its own unique charm, where you can see different shades of green. There are buses directly to the scenic area from downtown Wenzhou and within Rui'an, making transportation convenient. The main views in the scenic area from low to high are: Sangu Pool – Meiyu Waterfall – Leixiang Waterfall – Longxu Waterfall. Following the trail, you can complete the entire route in about 3 hours. Although most of the path consists of stairs, it is not too tiring. Not far from the entrance is Shengshou Zen Temple. The temple is quite quiet, where you can worship and pray for blessings without anyone pestering you to burn incense. The pool of water in the temple and the Huiguang Pagoda behind it complement each other, making it the landmark building ofXianyan Scenic Area. Leaving the temple, walk to the front of Lvwailou. From there, go straight to Sangu Pool, or turn left to Meiyu Pool. The two paths meet on the mountain to form a loop. You can decide which side to go up based on your personal preference, and then come down from the other side. However, drawn by Mr. Zhu's alluring description, more visitors choose to head to Meiyu Pool first. After turning left, you will soon start climbing. First, you will pass Xianren Dahua Ta, where the stream flows into the Sangu Pool below from this smooth slope. In summer, visitors can play in the shallow water at the top, which is very cool. Continuing forward from here, you can see Meiyu Waterfall from afar. Pass through the "Rock Formation" and enter Tongxuan Cave, and Meiyu Pool will be right before your eyes. There are many stone carvings by the pool, though the inscriptions are somewhat difficult to recognize. Above Meiyu Pool is the Ziqing Pavilion, built to commemorate Mr. Zhu Ziqing. The stone tablet in the pavilion is engraved with the full text of "Green." Savoring the words and looking back at the scenery before you, it seems even more pleasing to the eye. Meiyu Pavilion, a little further up, is a good spot to view Meiyu Waterfall. Looking down at Meiyu Waterfall from here, it resembles a beautiful young girl. Take a short break in the pavilion and continue forward. After passing Fuhu Cave, turn right at the fork to go to Leixiang Pool. Leixiang Pool is hidden in a canyon, and you can hear the roaring sound of water from the valley from afar. Walk down dozens of steps to get close, and you will see a silver ribbon falling from the sky, which is quite spectacular. The next destination is the Longxu Pool above. You can walk through a small grove to the kiosk and go straight, or turn left to cross the stone bridge above Leixiang Pool and arrive after passing through a water play area. Longxu Pool is completely different from the majestic Leixiang Pool. The water slides down from the top, forming an elegant triangle, and even the sound seems soft and beautiful. Return from the other side of Longxu Pool, and after returning to the kiosk, go straight down, passing Sanhuang Well, Xie Gong Pavilion, and Shengxian Pavilion, until you reach Shengxian Rock, which is to the upper right of Meiyu Waterfall. You cannot see Meiyu Waterfall or Meiyu Pool from here, and you cannot even hear the sound of the waterfall, but the view is excellent. You can have a panoramic view of the mountains surroundingXianyan Scenic Areaand the Huiguang Pagoda at the foot of the mountain. After stopping here to enjoy the view, walk down past Sangu Pool, and you will return to the scenic area entrance. The visit to the scenic area does not take long. You can dine at Lvwailou, and buy some snacks at the kiosk. Perhaps because it is not far from downtown Wenzhou, there is no accommodation available inside or outside the scenic area, so you can return to the city for accommodation after the tour.

Wonderful Sunbird International Grand Circus

4.9/5

The Wonderful Sunbird International Circus City is located in Wenzhou Paradise Tourist Resort, Ouhai District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. As a shining landmark integrating culture and tourism in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, it was created by the original creative team of Chimelong International Circus. It brings together more than 100 circus elites and performing artists from 11 countries and across four continents. It presents an unimaginable and diverse circus cultural audio-visual feast to tourists in East China at an international level. The performance venue is magnificent, with a huge building supporting a colorful dome in the twilight. The interwoven colors are like birds flying across the sky, and the flowing spotlight beams cut through the night sky, splashing the gold-like fragmented light into the audience's astonished pupils. The circus city can accommodate more than 2,500 spectators at the same time to join in the carnival. Visitors step into it like a flowing feast, crushing reality and illusion in a vortex of neon and drum beats. The scientifically arranged stepped stands inside are matched with international lighting and sound facilities, combined with the creative design of the more than 20-meter high platform and the 7-meter deep pool in the center of the venue, which not only creates an immersive viewing environment, but also provides a three-dimensional and diverse space for special performances such as high-platform diving stunts and water curtain equestrianism, allowing art and technology to collide on the stage to create magical sparks. The core play "Crazy Party" is about 70 minutes long, ingeniously integrating passionate samba-style acrobatics, elegant and noble European equestrianism, humorous and funny clown interactions and other multicultural elements. There is also a shocking debut of the domestic "out-of-circle somersault wheel of life and death" - actors jump blindfolded and leap in the air on the high-speed rotating wheel, challenging the limits of the human body and performing the thrilling moments of "speed of life and death". The 270-degree panoramic circular stage combines cutting-edge technologies such as mechanical programming and dreamy light and shadow to achieve free shuttle between multi-dimensional performance spaces on the ground, in the air, and on the water. The law of gravity in the real world fails here, and laughter and trembling climb up the spine at the same time. When the flying man swings by, the sequined hem of the clothes raises a shower of stars, the clown jumps into the crowd with a cheerful rhythm, and the red nose flashes like a stolen cherry in the dark. Every scene embodies the exquisite skills of global artists and the ingenuity of the Chimelong team. Whether it is a family time to share joy, a date to add a romantic atmosphere, or a gathering of friends to spend a passionate moment, the Wonderful Sunbird International Circus City has become an ideal choice for creating unforgettable memories with its inclusive program content and viewing experience. Multiple performances are open every day, and we sincerely invite you to join this cross-border fantasy circus journey and feel the charm of global circus art in shock and laughter!

Wutian Old Street

5.4

4.8/5

8 reviews

Wutian Old Street is a historical and cultural block built along the Wenrui Tanghe River, spanning the east and west sections of theTanghe River. This area was formerly known as "Wutian Market." During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it became a distribution center for agricultural and sideline products thanks to the water transport of theTanghe River. Shops were set up along the river, and merchant ships docked at the wharves for trade. The arcades, wharves, and alleys from the 1980s are memories for many older Wenzhou residents. Today, the old street has been renovated to recreate old Wenzhou street scenes, such as banyan pavilions, Dong'ou Academy, water streets and markets, and intangible cultural heritage crafts. The architecture of the block continues the traditional style of the arcade-style residences on both banks of the Wenrui Tanghe River, with green bricks, dark tiles, and a subdued color palette. The gables use old green bricks from the sites of former Wenzhou residences, and wooden components like doors and windows were hand-carved by woodcarving masters, featuring delicate patterns of flowers, birds, fish, and insects. The internal river system divides the block into multiple island areas surrounded by waterways, with small bridges, wharves, and alleys crisscrossing. The hundreds-of-meters-longTanghe Riverscenic belt along the river is perfect for a leisurely stroll. You can also see theKuixing Pavilionon the old street, with its overhanging eaves, which carries the wishes of ancient examinees praying for success in imperial examinations, and it is quite recognizable. The old street is relatively quiet during the day, making it suitable for examining architectural details. In the evening, when the lights come on, lanterns and their reflections on the river make the area more vibrant, which is also a great time for taking photos.

What travelers say about Rui'an

cyongNovember 1, 2026

4.0

We arrived at 8:58 AM and spent about an hour exploring the entire place. The show ended around 11:30 AM, but we had to wait until 3:30 PM to see the main circus performance, which was too long and poorly planned. The prices inside are quite high, so it's recommended to eat lunch outside first and then go see the circus; this is more cost-effective.
