Description: To hunt out and visit the well-known and remarkable trees of Beijing is actually a journey of discovery, not just around the capital city, but a trip through the ages, These majestic trees scattered around the city and its environs, make a map of Beijing's past. They serve as markers to recall events, famous people, and local lore. Like old wise men confident of their knowledge over the years, these trees have reticently watched the unfolding of time.
