China as well as Hongkong. The Airport is situated on the southeast of Wenzhou city
proper, 20 kilometers away from the city center. It has been graded as nation’s
Category B civil airport, serving a population of 20 million spanning areas of Wenzhou,
Taizhou and Lishui of Zhejiang Province and Ningde of the neibouring Fujian Province.
The correlated GDP of the area reaches 300 billion RMB.
The Airport, starting
operation in 1995, links 65 cities in the country with 34 permanent air routes.
Its air route to Hongkong was opened in 1996 and direct flight to Macau has been
approved. The Airport is among the fastest-growing and profitable among its peers
in China.The Airport ranks 1st in terms of passenger transit among cities of same
level in China. In 2004, the Airport handled 29,700 landings, a passenger transit
of 2.439 million and a cargo throughput of 38,500 tons.
The CRH (China
Railway High-Speed) train started operation in Wenzhou in late September 2009, linking
the city with Hangzhou and Ningbo in the north, and Fujian in the South. The travel
time to the above neighboring cities are dramatically shortened due to the high-speed
train, which travels at a speed of about 250 kilometers per hour.
Wenzhou Port is
one of the 20 major Chinese coastal hubs of ports. The deep-water port of Zhuanyuanao
(under construction) has a total coastline of 4.8 km and 17 deep-water docks, thereby
assuring an annual handling capacity of 3 million standard containers and 40million
tons of cargo. The depth of natural water in the port reaches 15 meters, where ships
of 100,000 tons can dock and the second-generation containers can be handled. The
port, aimed mainly at shipping international containers and bulk-cargo, will open
up a transportation sea route to international markets.
