Trees,The longest-living organisms on Earth, beautify and protect our environment by providing color,shelter,and shade. They renew our air supply by soaking up carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.

1.Wisteria Tunnel,Japan

As soon as the cherry blossom season ends,the gorgeous Wisteria flowers,that hang in grape-like clusters,take their turn on the Japanese floral calendar. The Fuji Matsuri,or Wisteria Festival,is celebrated each spring in Tokyo,Shizuoka,and Okazaki.

The A shikaga Flower Park is one of the best places to admire different varieties of wisteria,including double-petaled wisteria,giant wisteria and yellow,white,light pink or purple variants of wisteria.

2.Jacarandas Walk,South Africa

Over 10 million trees keep South Africa’s largest city green.According to several unofficial sources,Johannesburg is home to the world’s largest man-made forest.

There are at least 49 species of Jacaranda, most of them native to South America particularly in Uruguay,Brazil,Peru & Argentina,and the Caribbean basin.The tropical trees were imported to South Africa over one hundred years ago.

October is the month when the flowers of thousands of Jacaranda trees are in full blossom.This spectacular tree tunnel is located either in Johannesburg or Pretoria,the Jacaranda City where 70,000+ Jacarandas add vivid splashes of purple-blue to the urban landscape.

3.Tunnel of Love,Ukraine

The Ukrainian Tunnel of Love is actually a two-mile sector of private railway that serves a woodworking plant near Klevan,a small city located in western Ukraine.I read somewhere that couples pass through this romantic tunnel to make a wish.The myth goes that,if their love is strong and pure,the wish will come true.

May all of your wishes come true,but watch out for the train!It runs three times a day through the leafy tunnel.

4.Bamboo Path,Japan

The Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama,a nationally-designated historic site.The pathway you see in the above picture is 500m long,and runs through one of Japan’s most beautiful bamboo forests.No wonder the Agency for Cultural A ffairs declared Arashiyama a “Place of Scenic Beauty” This forest is close to many famous temple and shrines,including the Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple.

The sound the wind makes,as it blows through the tall bamboo trees,has been voted by the Japanese authorities as one of 100 must-preserve sounds of Japan.
