Once a dusty town dependent on the stone quarry industry, Anji County in eastern China has undergone a remarkable green transformation. Today, its economy thrives on rural tourism, bamboo processing, and white tea production. 🌱
Earlier this year, CGTN correspondent Michael Wang visited Anji for the show Path to Prosperity: Greening China's Growth to explore how the county balances economic growth with environmental protection. What he found is a community redefining prosperity through sustainability.
From eco-friendly bamboo groves to tea terraces shrouded in mist, Anji's journey shows how investing in green industries can create new opportunities. Rural villages now welcome travelers eager to experience authentic countryside life—think bamboo rafting, homestays amid lush forests, and fresh white tea tastings. 🎋☕️
So, is this the future of sustainable development? With its mix of nature and innovation, Anji County offers a blueprint for regions worldwide: sometimes, the best growth comes from going green.
