In the second episode of A Gift from Taizhou, Badoglu Selin Nisa from Turkiye visited Haocai Cultural & Creative Products in Huangyan district to discover how Taizhou's signature foods have been transformed into plush cultural toys. 

During her visit, Selin found more than a taste of Taizhou. She discovered adorable creations that turn the city's iconic flavors into cuddly designs. Each reflects a part of its local culture.

The "Aesthetic Odyssey Taizhou" product line, designed by Haocai Cultural & Creative Products, blends traditional cultural roots with modern design trends. The series draws inspiration from Taizhou's distinctive landscape and heritage, introducing three imaginative families — the fruit, the snacks, and the seafood. Each design embodies the spirit of Taizhou, reflecting the strength of its mountains, the vitality of its rivers, the openness of its sea, and the warmth and generosity of its people.

Beyond being soft companions, the toys serve as storytellers of the city's traditions, allowing both residents and visitors to connect with Taizhou’s charm in creative new ways.
