The Nanxi River parts the valley like a slow-moving brushstroke, its current daring you to pause and watch karst outcrops and cliff faces pass by. On a private day tour from Wenzhou you’ll step from a minivan into a quieter China — stone lanes, wooden frontages and a river that insists on moving at its own unhurried pace.
