I was thrilled to discover this tree in the Forbidden City. An absolute gem of a tree; no photo can do it justice. A name tag identified it as a Pinus bungeana Zucc.

A shrub or small tree to 25 feet tall with an airy canopy of gray green, pinnate leaves and numerous slightly sickle-shaped leaflets.

It is native to the West Indies. Leaf rib vein is slightly off center.
Lead tree is a weedy, fast-growing tree that readily invades coastal strand, pine rockland, the margins and canopy gaps of hardwood forests and open disturbed sites.
Probably introduced in Florida for erosion control and cattle fodder, Lead tree is seldom purposely cultivated as a landscape plant but may persist as a weed in cultivated areas. It is a frequent sight along roadsides and hammock margins in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.
