China’s eye hospital of reference, beside rivers, islands and a UNESCO-level mountain range. This guide gives you five ready-made itineraries for Wenzhou — 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days — each one built around real appointment timing, with sightseeing placed where it is safe rather than where it looks good on a map.
Wuma Street and the old lanes, Wenzhou
Choose how many days you have
Longer is not automatically better — it depends on whether you need tests that take several days, a second opinion, or recovery time after a procedure. Pick the closest match and adjust with us before you book.
Getting there and where to stay
| Airports | WNZ (Wenzhou Longwan International) |
|---|---|
| Areas to stay | Lucheng central district — the closest hotels to the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University Ouhai — newer and quieter, south of the old centre Longwan — practical if you fly in late and leave early |
| Food notes | Wenzhou fish balls, glutinous rice with pork broth, river crabs and hundreds of small seafood plates; everything is lightly seasoned, which suits post-treatment appetites. |

The six places this itinerary uses
A restored pedestrian street of arcade shopfronts and the best of Wenzhou’s small eating houses.
An island in the middle of the Oujiang with two pagodas, flat paths and the shortest ferry ride in the city.
Bridge-linked islands east of the city: fishing villages, boardwalks and seafood lunches right on the quay.
Gentle headland paths above a calm inner sea — the quietest day out within reach of the city.
The road into the Yandang range: bridges over clear pools and short flat sections between the scenic spots.
The five day-by-day plans
The 3-day Wenzhou plan
The shortest workable trip: one consultation day, one results day, and one evening of sightseeing. Choose it when you already have scans and a clear question for the specialist.
Day 1 · Arrival and settle in
Wuma Street and the old lanes
- Your driver meets you inside the terminal at WNZ with your name on a board and drives you straight to the hotel near your hospital.
- Check in, hand over your passport copies and medical records folder, and keep the rest of the day empty — jet lag plus a first appointment is enough for one day.
- Easy evening option: Wuma Street and the old lanes. A restored pedestrian street of arcade shopfronts and the best of Wenzhou’s small eating houses.
Day 2 · First hospital appointment
Jiangxin Islet
- Registration opens early; your companion takes the queue while you sit. Bring passport, previous scans, reports, medication list and a written summary in English.
- Consultation, then the tests the doctor orders on the spot — blood work, imaging or scope. Most results come back the same or the next working day.
- Gentle afternoon if you feel up to it: Jiangxin Islet. An island in the middle of the Oujiang with two pagodas, flat paths and the shortest ferry ride in the city.
Day 3 · Results and departure
Dongtou island coast
- Collect results, then the follow-up consultation where diagnosis, dosage and next steps are explained in your language.
- Pharmacy run and printed copies of everything for your doctor at home.
- Last easy hours before the flight: Dongtou island coast. Bridge-linked islands east of the city: fishing villages, boardwalks and seafood lunches right on the quay.
- Driver back to WNZ in time for an evening departure.
The 4-day Wenzhou plan
Adds a full-day excursion after the diagnosis, so you go home with one real Wenzhou day rather than only hospital corridors.
Day 1 · Arrival and settle in
Wuma Street and the old lanes
- Your driver meets you inside the terminal at WNZ with your name on a board and drives you straight to the hotel near your hospital.
- Check in, hand over your passport copies and medical records folder, and keep the rest of the day empty — jet lag plus a first appointment is enough for one day.

- Dongtou island coast. Bridge-linked islands east of the city: fishing villages, boardwalks and seafood lunches right on the quay.
- Keep one buffer meal and one sitting break in the plan; this is the most demanding day of the four.

Day 5 · Second opinion and home
Mountain gateway viewpoints
- A short second-opinion slot at another department or hospital — the reason many travellers choose five days.

- If time allows before the flight: Mountain gateway viewpoints. The road into the Yandang range: bridges over clear pools and short flat sections between the scenic spots.

Wuma Street and the old lanes

- Plan it two days after the first consultation, never the day after a procedure.
- Sitting breaks every hour, and water and medication in the day bag.
Day 5 · Recovery day, deliberately unscheduled
Mountain gateway viewpoints
- No hospital today. Sleep, laundry, a slow breakfast and a short walk — recovery days are what make the longer trips work.

- Local food note: Wenzhou fish balls, glutinous rice with pork broth, river crabs and hundreds of small seafood plates; everything is lightly seasoned, which suits post-treatment appetites.
