They were impressed by the local scenery and the changes the city has experienced in terms of its economy, culture, and tourism over the past seven decades.

"Wencheng county is so beautiful. I will promote it to more people overseas and hope they will come and see it for themselves," said Wang Jinxiang, a journalist with the Nordic Chinese Newspaper. 

An overseas communication center was launched in the county on Nov 14 to integrate resources from overseas Chinese media and better promote Wenzhou to the rest of the world.
