And offer tranquility among "living fossils."

“ Dawn redwoods (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) are native to China, and were once thought to be extinct for more than five million years. Fossils, some about 150 million years old, have been found from North America to Russia to Japan. The surprising discovery of a small group of live specimens in a remote part of China during the mid-1940s made the unusually deciduous redwood a “living fossil.” Though still considered critically endangered in the wild—only a few isolated natural stands of them exist—conservation efforts and distribution of seeds have given the regal, adaptable, fast-growing metasequoia trees another life. Such artificial, unusually orderly forests are part of a larger reforestation effort across China. The overall environmental impact of such projects is not entirely known, but they certainly do provide a unique experience for visitors: consistently tranquil, from the lush green of the warmer months, to feathered reds, pinks, and golds during autumn”
