As I know the most easy way is to take plane from Rangoon to Kunming. There are two flights a week operated by China Eastern Airlines, on Wednesday and Saturday. After that, you can change to another flight to Wenzhou.

By train: There is only direct train from Wenzhou to Cangzhou. If you want to get to other place of Hebei, you should make a transfer.
By air: go to ningbo or Hangzhou, or Shanghai first.

Hi,

I am planning a visit to China to source leather products, especially leather belts. I would like to know whether one should visit Yiwu or Wenzhou for this purpose.

Jul. 1,2009 02:31
Mr.James replied:

I suggest Yiwu. Wenzhou has many leather product manufactures, but you may not have them at the cheapest price. They usually have sale office in Yiwu. Hope it helps.

Wenzhou is great for doing business and business only. If looking to be an English teacher, look elsewhere.

Mr.Dennis Robinson(USA) replied:

I have accepted a position as a teacher in Wenzhou at Wenzhou high school a private school I believe. It sounds like a good opportunity teaching high school seniors that will be going to a US University the following year. They are using USA text books and study material. Are you familiar with this school? I read the short warning and was wanting your feed back on why you made this statement.
Your friend Robin
