Anting's 1,200-year-old ancient tree attracts the crowds
People from all across Shanghai have been coming to Anting Town in Jiading District to appreciate the beautiful golden leaves of a 1,200-year-old ginkgo tree, as the tree's leaves only turn yellow once a year around December.
The 27-meter tree is a popular subject for photographers.
Measuring 27 meters in height, it dwarfs the surrounding trees.
The foliage serves as a large umbrella, scattering small rays of sunlight onto the ground to give the park a touch of wonder.
