Jinhua Shuanglong Cave

Exploring Shuanglong Cave in Jinhua, I never expected to take a boat through the karst cave—it felt like stepping into a fantasy world! This time, I stayed at the Four Seasons Yijing Hotel near the high-speed rail station, perfectly embodying the "hundred-yuan price, thousand-yuan experience" value myth, making my Jinhua trip incredibly comfortable.

🏨 Stay at the "Butler-style Hotel" next to the high-speed rail station
• Perfect location! Just a 5-minute walk from Jinhua Station (No. 561 Wuyi Road, Chengbei Street), a 15-minute taxi ride to Shuanglong Cave, and Yongsheng Shopping Plaza is right next door—night snack lovers will be thrilled.
• I was amazed by the "Haidilao-style service" at the front desk: they proactively helped with my luggage and handed me a hot towel. When they heard I was going to Shuanglong Cave, they immediately printed out a travel guide and gave me a hiking medicine kit.
• The room setup rivals a five-star hotel: smart controls switch modes with one button, the mattress is moderately firm, and special praise for the herbal pillow—after exploring the cave, I fell asleep instantly.

📸 Photo Highlights
1. 15th-floor sky garden: Capture stunning shots of the train tracks and city sunset at dusk, with a vibe reminiscent of "La La Land."
2. Lobby book bar: 270° floor-to-ceiling windows with artistic chandeliers; holding the fruit plate the hotel gave me for photos, friends all asked if it was a newly opened trendy café.
3. Secret corner: The abstract painting wall in the elevator lobby (each floor has a different theme) is perfect for minimalist-style photos when wearing plain clothes.

🎯 Nearby Activities Guide
• Hidden Shuanglong Cave tip: Be sure to look up at the "dome starry sky" in the Ice Curl Cave. The cave maintains a constant 18°C, so bring a light jacket (ticket includes a boat ride—great value!).
• Night tour of Ancient Zicheng: Taxi from the hotel starts at the base fare; the lanterns light up at dusk creating a lively atmosphere. The crispy cakes paired with Jinhua wine in Jiufang Alley are amazing.
• Off-the-beaten-path tip: When checking out, the front desk quietly told me the hotel’s back door path leads straight to Wuyi Road Snack Street, where the radish meatballs and meat wheat cakes vendors are a 30-year-old established brand.

💡 Practical Tips
• Transportation: The South Square exit of Jinhua Station is closer; just look for the Yongsheng Shopping Plaza sign.
• Food: You must try the Jinhua wontons at the breakfast stall! The stir-fried rice noodles for a late-night snack are a hidden menu item, so you need to ask for them.

This was my first time knowing a hotel offers a free laundry room and gym. When I received the handwritten Jinhua food map from the butler upon leaving, I was truly touched by this Jiangnan-style thoughtfulness. Next time I visit Shuanglong Cave, I will definitely stay here again!
