Anji County, located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, has always given people the impression of poetry and dreams. From the green waves of the bamboo sea, to the turquoise tea mountains, from the black canopy boats of the bamboo pen in the bamboo basket, to the basket of chestnut winter shoots, the natural scenery and life scene of Anji carry the genes of the Jiangnan years.
Perhaps because of this gene, Anji is loved by luxury hotels at home and abroad. Between its green hills, green water and tea gardens, JW Marriott Hotel, Banyan Tree and Club Med Joyview each choose treasures to inhabit, borrowing the beauty of nature to create a guest experience in Jiangnan Water Town.
