City

Wenling

Eastern Asia

Wenling is a coastal county-level city in the municipal region of Taizhou, in southeastern Zhejiang province, China. It borders Luqiao and Huangyan to the north, Yuhuan to the south and Yueqing to the west, and looks out to the East China Sea to the east, approximately 300 kilometres south of Shanghai. The Jiangxia Tidal Power Station is located there, as well as a number of e-waste recycling centres that have contributed to soil contamination in the region. Typhoons have long struck it, including Typhoon Rananim in 2004 and Typhoon Lekima in 2019.
