What kind of wharf is Wenzhou Longwan Wharf?
Wenzhou Longwan Wharf is a kind of building loading and unloading wharf. Because it is located in the lower street of Longwan Street, it is a building dedicated to ship berthing and cargo loading and unloading, so it is named Wenzhou Longwan Wharf. 1 The ancient wharf was built by Gongyan River, with a length of 200 meters from east to west, all paved with white hemp strips. There are 23 steps at the boarding place and 25 steps at the departure place, which is an important physical historical material for studying the local shipping history and cargo transportation. Later, due to long-term flooding and unattended management, the stone steps were seriously damaged and covered with grass and vines. With the end of water transportation, their uses gradually changed and they were abandoned. Now they are used as water ports, and their functions have completely lost. Except for the stone steps where the goods were loaded, the rest were badly damaged and covered with grass and vines.
