Plane trees of Nanjing 1
Nanjing (Jiangsu) 2011 - French plane trees (or phoenix trees) are a symbol of Nanjing city. The first ones where planted in 1928 by the first mayor of the city, in honor of Sun Yat Sen.
They are currently the stake of a conflict, some of them being cut at night by authorities to make place for a new metro line while the population tries to preserve them.
