Damyang Metasequoia-lined Road 

 

Many visitors visit a beautiful and exotic boulevard that looks like it is came straight out of a fairytale. This unearthly place is the Metasequoia-lined Road.

 

Metasequoia trees were planted along the street in the early 1970s. At that time, the trees were only 3 to 4 years old and their branches stretched sparsely out into the sky. Now, the trees have grown so high that they seem like columns of sky. Because of these stately trees, the Korea Forest Service(KFS) selected the boulevard as one of the most beautiful roads in Korea.
