I am going to Wenzhou in about a week's time. Could you give me the names of some hotels in Wenzhou which are within walking distance to the shopping streets. The best choice will be those hotels located within the shopping streets. Also, the hotel should have warm air conditioning, since it is still quite cold in Wenzhou.
