1.日本河内藤园的紫藤隧道Wisteria Tunnel, Japan
每年从4月到5月，丰富的紫藤盛开在日本北九州河内藤园，这些照片看起来是否让人感到不真实，甚至以为这些是绘画作品？老实说，了不起！看来童话并不总是骗人的：真实世界里确实存在这样的美景，从图中可以清晰地看到它美丽的景色，仿佛置身于童话王国一般浪漫与多彩。各种颜色的花朵与藤蔓点缀于棚顶，把这个隧道衬托的格外美丽与神秘。
As soon as
the cherry blossom season ends, the gorgeous Wisteria flowers, that
hang in grape-like clusters, take their turn on the Japanese floral
calendar. The Fuji Matsuri, or Wisteria Festival, is celebrated
each spring in Tokyo, Shizuoka, and Okazaki.The Ashikaga Flower
Park is one of the best places to admire different varieties of
wisteria, including double-petaled wisteria, giant wisteria and
yellow, white, light pink or purple variants of wisteria.
2.南非的紫薇花道路Jacarandas Walk, South Africa
如果欣赏樱花是日本的旅遊胜事，那麼缤纷的紫薇花就是南非年度的梦幻嘉年華會。要欣賞這极致的浪漫，可以由教堂广場的教堂街（Church
Street），沿着主要道路漫步，走在長达43公里的紫色地毯上，享受紫薇花從天而降的溫柔美景。在适宜的季节，走在南非的街道上，沐浴在紫薇花的芳香中，这样的浪漫足以让人窒息！
Over 10
million trees keep South Africa’s largest city green. According to
several unofficial sources, Johannesburg is home to the world’s
largest man-made forest.There are at least 49 species of Jacaranda,
most of them native to South America (particularly in Uruguay,
Brazil, Peru & Argentina), and the Caribbean basin.
The tropical trees were imported to South Africa over one hundred
years ago.October is the month when the flowers of thousands of
Jacaranda trees are in full blossom. This spectacular tree tunnel
is located either in Johannesburg or Pretoria, the Jacaranda City
where 70,000+ Jacarandas add vivid splashes of purple-blue to the
urban landscape.
3. 乌克兰爱的隧道Tunnel of Love, Ukraine
这大概是这个星球最漂亮的一条火车道了，它绿得让人窒息……这不是3D特效，也不是动画场景，她真实地位于乌克兰的Kleven，当地人称呼这条道为“爱的隧道”（Tunnel
of Love）——面对如此美景，我猜最让人失望的是知道它居然在人间吧？走在这样的路上，你会不会也希望前路无尽头？
The
Ukrainian Tunnel of Love is actually a two-mile sector of private
railway that serves a woodworking plant near Klevan, a small city
located in western Ukraine. Iread somewhere that couples pass
through this romantic tunnel to make a wish. The myth goes that, if
their love is strong and pure, the wish will come true.May all of
your wishes come true, but watch out for the train! It runs three
times a day through the leafy tunnel.

4. 日本京都的竹径Bamboo Path, Japan
The
Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama, a
nationally-designated historic site. The pathway you see in the
above picture is 500m long, and runs through one of Japan’s most
beautiful bamboo forests. No wonder the Agency for Cultural Affairs
declared Arashiyama a “Place of Scenic Beauty”. This forest is
close to many famous temple and shrines, including the Adashino
Nenbutsu-ji Temple.The sound the wind makes, as it blows through
the tall bamboo trees, has been voted by the Japanese authorities
as one of 100 must-preserve sounds of Japan.
5. 北爱尔兰贝尔法斯特的黑暗树篱The Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland
北爱尔兰素有绿王国之称，属英国政府管辖，首都贝尔法斯特(Belfast)。这里自然风光优美，空气清新，广袤的绿色草原和数不清的清山绿水勾勒出北爱兰独有的以“绿色”为主线的自然景观。现代的生机与历史的底蕴在这里和谐并存，看看这条路你就知道了。这条原本以为只会出现在插画中出现的道路，竟真的存在在北爱尔兰。没有过多资料显示它的来历与美丽，唯独知道的是这些交相辉映的树都已存活多年，是百年，还是几世纪我们无从得知。只要是到过这里的人都会被眼前的景象所震惊！极具神韵的树枝，层层叠嶂，筑就了一条童话般的道路！爱旅行，爱摄影的你又怎能错过！
Tucked away
in the county of Antrim, these beautiful beech trees are thought to
be around 300 years old. According to local records, James Stuart
planted the 150 beech trees in the 18thcentury, to impress guests
as they approached his splendid property, Gracehill House.Legend
tells that the spirit of a maid, who lived in a neighboring mansion
and died in mysterious circumstances hundreds of years ago,haunts
the country road. “Grey Lady” silently floats along the road and
quickly disappears as she reaches the last beech tree.
Check out Pawel Klarecki’s galleries for more spectacular photos of
the Dark Hedges.
6.英国威尔士的紫杉隧道Yew Tree Tunnel, UK
The
medieval Aberglasney House features one of the most beautiful
gardens in Wales, UK. They have been an inspiration to writers
since 1470. The Yew Tunnel is a popular tourist attraction in this
area. Believe it or not, it took nine years of pruning to restore
this unique archway. “Years of neglect had left it unsafe and with
a perilous future, as the once formally clipped structure had grown
even higher than the top of the Mansion itself. It is so nice to
see it looking invigorated and healthy again, I had every
confidence that with careful restoration it would help its future
longevity, but I have to confess that it did look drastic at the
time,” declared Graham Rankin, one of Aberglasney’s directors.The
Yew Tunnel is thought to have been planted by the Dyer family of
Aberglasney, during the 18thcentury.
7. 日本明治神宫的银杏树隧道Ginkgo Tree Tunnel, Japan，
Gingko
biloba is a highly venerated tree in Japanese culture. Six ginkgo
trees survived the Hiroshima bombing, continuing to grow despite
facing so many challenges, and are still alive today. Therefore,
the Japanese regard the gingko as “the bearer of hope”. It is also
known as “the survivor” or “the living fossil.”Around 65,000
ginkgoes grace Tokyo’s streets, gardens and parks today. According
to some people who visited Tokyo, the tunnel you see in the above
picture is located in the outer garden of Meiji Shrine.
8.美国佛蒙特州国家公园的秋叶隧道Autumn Tree Tunnel, USA，Blue Ridge Parkway
Photographed in glorious autumn colors by Kevin McNeal, this tree
tunnel is simply astonishing! The picture was taken on the way up
to Smuggler’s Notch, a Vermont state park.The eye-catching foliage
starts changing its color in the northern region, in response to
many environmental factors, and spreads south as the fall season
advances.
9. 巴西阿雷格里港的林荫大道Rua Gon?alo de Carvalho, Brasil
相比起世界各地许多参天的摩天大楼，奇巧创意的建筑设计，偏安于巴西阿雷格里港的这条“世界最美丽街道”靠什么取悦天下人？也许是因为，它那壮丽而令人印象深刻的自然美景。在近500米的人行道旁，100多棵Tipuana(商陆科)树木一字排开，有些甚至可以达到七层楼的高度。远看自然形成一条拱形隧道，春意盎然，满眼皆绿。春秋季节，树叶茂盛，生机勃勃；夏日酷暑，浓荫遮盖，清凉气爽。走过这样一条浑然天成的绿色隧道，放佛体验森林氧吧，令人精神放松，身心健康。
Number nine
goes to Brazil’s green tunnel from Porto Alegre, Rua Gon?alo de
Carvalho. According to a decree signed in 2006 by former mayor
Joseph Foga?a, this beautiful street is part of the country’s
historical, cultural, ecological and environmental heritage.There
are more than one hundred towering Tipuana (Rosewood) trees along
Rua Gon?alo de Carvalho. The great shade trees stretch over three
city blocks, which is a good thing for the city’s overall
health.Did you know that trees, properly planted around buildings,
can reduce air conditioning demands by up to 30%?
10. 德国波恩的樱花隧道Cherry Blossom Tunnel, Germany
这是一条全球著名的道路，道路两边皆是樱花，形成的道路景象有别于樱花之国日本，少了一丝禅意，却多了一缕欧式的浪漫情怀！樱花灿烂下，只为在最美的时刻遇见最美的你！
Each spring,
a peaceful street, located in the German city of Bonn, transforms
into an enchanting cherry blossom tunnel. Photographer Marcel
Bednarz captured this stunning sight of cherry blossoms in full
bloom. He explained to me that there are actually two streets in
Bonn where cherry trees are planted, but the one you see in the
above picture is called Heerstra?e. As you may know, the average
cherry blossom lasts only between 7 and 10 days, depending on
weather conditions.
Similar tunnels can be found all over the world, so check them
out if cherry blossoms are your thing:
- Kungstr?dg?rden cherry blossom in Stockholm, Sweden
- Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon, Georgia: over 600,000 people
travel annually to Macon, to attend the 10-day long festival.
Nearly 240,000 Yoshino cherry trees have been planted throughout
that city in the last 30 years. “They’re everywhere, absolutely
everywhere,” exclaimed Carolyn Crayton, the festival’s founder and
executive director. “We’ve given them to anyone who wants them.
We’ve even given them to Washington!”
