China recently announced its selection of national ancient trees. The "King of Camphor Trees" from Lechang District in Shaoxing, Guangdong has made it to the list of the country's top 10 "Most Beautiful Camphor Trees".This incredible ancient camphor tree has an impressive history that dates back 1,300 years. Standing tall and majestic, the tree boasts a robust trunk branching out into three divisions with abundant leaves, thus forming a fan-shaped canopy that reaches for the sky, which presents a truly spectacular sight.It's worth noting that two camphor trees from Guangdong Province were selected for this honor.
