Wenzhou Overseas Chinese Hotel
温州华侨饭店; Wēnzhōu Huáqiáo Fàndiàn
This historic five-star hotel has been welcoming guests since the 1960s and remains a staple in Wenzhou’s hospitality scene. The sprawling layout can feel like a maze, but the attentive service and comfortable accommodations make up for it.The hotel is also famous for its Signature Steamed Jinmen Yellow Croaker (秘汁蒸金门黄鱼). Fresh Jinmen yellow croaker is lightly marinated to remove any fishiness, then steamed with a house-made secret sauce. The dish is finished with a sprinkle of green onions and ginger shreds, balancing the fish's tender texture with a rich, savory flavor that lingers long after the last bite.
