Xianju Green Wild Wizard of Oz Journey

On this trip to Xianju, I unexpectedly stayed in a lush green holiday paradise! The DoubleTree by Hilton Taizhou Shenxianju is truly an oxygen-rich haven tailored for families with children, and I was touched by the thoughtful details from the moment I checked in~

🍪: One of Hilton’s highlights is the complimentary freshly baked cookies at check-in. The warm cookies handed over at the front desk smelled amazing!

A 15-minute walk straight to the South Gate of Shenxianju Scenic Area
🚗: A 20-minute drive to Gonguyan/Danzhu for water fun.
🍒: The biggest surprise is that guests staying in June receive yangmei picking vouchers. Carrying little bamboo baskets with the kids, wandering through the orchard, and eating freshly picked yangmei is super sweet!

🍽️ A foodie’s delight dining experience
The freshly made Taizhou Qiangao and walnut egg scramble at breakfast are incredible! The dishes at the Chinese restaurant are delicious; be sure to order the hidden menu item “Eel Braised Rice,” with crispy fish skin wrapped in sauce that goes perfectly with rice~

🎪 Facilities that maximize the holiday vibe
🏊• Heated pool with few people and clear water
🍃• 2000㎡ large lawn perfect for picnics
🐶• Pet-friendly families receive a pet bed + dining set, and dogs even have their own pee pads

⚠️ Practical tips
• For yangmei season (June), remember to bring sun-protective clothing + mosquito repellent
• For self-driving, prioritize parking in the hotel’s underground garage
