Secret garden: Ginkgo forest turns golden in Liaoning

This photo taken on Thursday, October 31, 2019, shows the ginkgo forest outside Dandong, a city in northeast China's Liaoning Province. Ginkgo, also known as the maidenhair tree, is called a living fossil because of its long natural history. The earliest fossil records of the ginkgo date back 270 million years. Native to China, the tree is now widely cultivated around the world. [Photo: VCG]
