Introduction

Although not well-known in China, the Dark Hedges is one of the most beautiful tree tunnels in the world. Planted in the 18th century, this road has been around for 300 years. The 150 beech trees have grown together, intertwining to create a scene reminiscent of a fairy tale. The road exudes a very romantic atmosphere. Fans of "Game of Thrones" may recognize this as the King's Road from the series. The road is located near the town of Ballymoney in Northern Ireland, so after admiring the trees, visitors can also explore the town and relax.
