Breakfast with the Mountains | A Review of JW Marriott Anji

Facing the mountain forests, observing the reflection of each green leaf with the wind. Sunlight spills on the table and face, while birds sing from all directions. Here and now—only in this moment—do I feel my own existence. The black tea is slightly astringent, the sunlight a bit scorching. I forget why I came to Anji; those saved check-in spots, guides, and photo tricks no longer matter. This time, I stayed at JW Marriott in a golf-view room with a massive balcony overlooking the entire course. Pouring a cup of tea, I sat reading on the balcony, quietly waiting for sunset. The hotel is spacious, with large rooms. Breakfast includes freshly made hand-wrapped wontons—so! incredibly! fragrant! If you can trust just once, try doing nothing here. Nature is already beautiful enough—have a quiet conversation with it.
