Have You Ever Seen a Rainbow Forest? ๐
Imagine walking through a forest where the trees glow with brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold! This magical place exists at the Dongtai Huanghai National Forest Park in Jiangsu Province, China.
The Amazing Metasequoia Trees
The park is home to tens of thousands of metasequoia trees. These trees are super special because they’re known as “living fossils”โthey’ve been around since the time of the dinosaurs!
Every year, when winter is just around the corner, these trees put on a spectacular show. Their leaves change from green to fiery colors, making the forest look like it’s ablaze (but don’t worry, it’s just the colors!).
A Picture-Perfect Scene ๐ธ
Visitors from all over come to soak up the stunning views. Walking among these towering trees, you might feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale or a painting. The colorful leaves rustle in the breeze, and the forest floor is covered with a crunchy layer of fallen leaves.
Why Do the Leaves Change Color?
Great question! As the days get shorter and cooler, the trees prepare for winter by stopping the production of chlorophyllโthe stuff that makes leaves green. This lets the other brilliant colors shine through!
