Nestled in the hills of Zhejiang province in the Chinese mainland, Anji is home to around 66,700 hectares of bamboo forests. Here, bamboo isn’t just part of the landscape—it’s woven into the rhythm of everyday life.
Walk through Anji’s rolling hills and valleys, and you’ll find bamboo towering above you in every direction. This expansive green sea, covering roughly 667 square kilometers, shapes local culture, from artisanal crafts crafted from young shoots to bamboo-infused teas savored by residents and visitors alike.
For young global citizens and eco-minded travelers, Anji offers an immersive retreat. Digital nomads can seek inspiration in serene bamboo corridors, while entrepreneurs and thought leaders study how large-scale nature drives sustainable development and community livelihoods.
In a world racing toward urbanization, Anji’s Bamboo Town stands as a quiet reminder that when nature grows in harmony with people, it can shape not only a place but a way of life.
