Imagine a city where towering trees form natural umbrellas ☔️ – welcome to Fuzhou, the ‘City of Banyan Trees’ in China’s Fujian Province! 🌳 This lush metropolis owes its leafy identity to a visionary leader from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), Zhang Boyu, who tackled flooding and scorching summers with a green revolution.
Nearly 900 years ago, Zhang rallied every household to plant ultra-resilient banyan trees. Today, these ancient giants line streets and parks, creating an urban jungle that’s both eco-friendly and Instagram-worthy 📸. Talk about #UrbanGoals!
From historical roots to modern sustainability, Fuzhou proves nature and cities can thrive together. Who’s adding this green paradise to their travel bucket list? ✈️
