Metasequoia avenue in Changsha showcases nature's splendor

A five-kilometer stretch of metasequoia trees lines the Sancha River in Jiangbei town, Changsha county, Hunan province.

Acclaimed by many as "the most beautiful metasequoia avenue" in Changsha, it has recently been drawing crowds of visitors and photographers. These trees are now about half a century old.

According to the local government, the best viewing period will last until the end of December.
