Huzhou's Anji county has been hailed by Chinese netizens as a "mini Switzerland in Zhejiang" due to its unspoiled natural views.

Situated in the junction of the Taihu Plain and Mount Mogan, Anji is the birthplace of the concept that states that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". 

It has also been designated China's first ecological county. The county was also ranked among the top 100 counties nationwide for beautiful village construction.
