In the misty hills of Qinxing Village, Tongren City, a 1,000-year-old ginkgo tree and its fiery maple companion have become the latest viral sensation. 🌳❤️ Known locally as the 'husband-and-wife trees', their golden and crimson leaves now blaze together in a romantic winter spectacle that’s straight out of a fairytale. 📸✨
Early winter’s chill has transformed the duo into a living canvas—the ginkgo’s sunshine-yellow foliage dancing with the maple’s bold red hues. Locals say the trees, standing side by side for centuries, symbolize enduring love. 💞 \"They’re like an old couple holding hands through the seasons,\" says villager Li Mei.
🕰️ Fun fact: Ginkgos are often called 'living fossils'—they’ve existed since dinosaurs roamed! Meanwhile, the maple’s seasonal glow has made this Guizhou hotspot a must-visit for nature influencers and Studio Ghibli vibes seekers. 🎥🍂
