City of entrepreneurs: Wenzhou, centre of China's private economy

There is an old saying in Wenzhou: the city is 7/10 mountains, 1/10 water, and 2/10 farmland. Due to its cultural and geographical remoteness and its lack of natural resources, locals have always been driven to find business opportunities far beyond the sea or deeper inland, contributing to their independent, self-reliant and business-oriented character.
