So summer is upon us and many foreigners in China are wondering, "what do I do now?" Here I have decided to post some recommendations for those who are living in various regions and may want to travel around China for a bit this summer before returning home. This is the first installment. In each posting, I will focus on one or two cities or regions. I have divided the categories by region, distance, and commuting options.
I'll start with Central China since that is where I am. These travel times are calculated from Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province.
