[美图] 密境仙踪 看全球15座绝美树隧道(45P)
树木，是地球上最长寿的生物，它保护并美化了我们赖以生存的自然环境，提供了丰富多彩的颜色和清凉气爽的浓荫。当我们散步在绿树成荫、鲜花满径的浑然天成的绿色隧道里，体验着这一份交通线上的森林氧吧，还会有什么比这更令人惬意的！曾有一位欧洲环保作家在自己的博客中这样称赞巴西阿雷格里港的树隧道：“这里被称为世界上最美丽的街道，不仅是因为上百棵生机活力的树木营造出的视觉效果，更是因为相伴它们的这些珍稀、爱护它们的居民。几十年来，这条绿色隧道承载的是一份“爱情结晶”——树木之爱！正是这种爱和基于爱而发起的斗争，使当地政府认识到文化遗产的重要性，也看到了政治权利应该为文化发展和环境景观让步。”如今，这里的居民带着由衷的自豪感继续和谐自然的生活，当地也被认证为生态环境与文化遗产的代表景观。也许，这种“最美”代表的更多是一种可能性，一种通过人们努力，将我们身处的环境良好保护并进行更好发展的可能性。是的，曾几何时，我们中国也有许许多多这样的“树隧道”，但都随着城市改造、道路拓建，逐渐遗失在历史的风尘里，没有人关心、没有人保护，究其原因，也许是没有人懂得欣赏，也许是没有人知道珍惜......闲话少叙，让我们一起来欣赏这个星球上15处令人难以置信的绝美树隧道吧，看完别忘了留言告诉我——你到底更喜欢其中的哪一个？

Sometimes, the trees envelop overhead in a canopy of leaves and flowers that’s nothing short of magical.
1、乌克兰Klevan的爱的隧道 The Tunnel of Love, Klevan, Ukraine
【参见博文《[美图] 乌克兰爱的隧道 全球最美火车道(16P)》】
Klevan is a tiny town in western Ukraine that supports a population of some 8,000 odd people. An old town with a history dating back to the 15th century, it is home to the ruins of the Klevan Castle, one of the oldest castles in western Ukraine.
Near the outskirts of the town is a private rail track used to ferry wood to a local factory. The green outgrowth around the train track folds over during full bloom, creating the illusion of a tunnel.
Local legend has it that any wish of the amorous kind made while walking through the tunnel comes true. Hence the name, “Tunnel of Love”.
2、日本河内藤园的紫藤隧道 Wisteria Flower Tunnel, Kawachi Fuji Garden, Kitakyushu, Japan
【参见博文《[组图] 多彩的河内藤园 浪漫的紫藤隧道(19P)》】
The Kawachi Fuji Garden is a private garden in the city of Kitakyushu (population: 987,000), some 6 hours from Tokyo. While the garden is beautiful by itself, it’s best known for its tunnel of wisteria flowers. When the flowers are in full bloom around April and May, the experience of walking through the tunnel is not unlike walking through a fairy tale.
3、日本明治神宫外苑的银杏树隧道 Gingko Tree Tunnel, Meiji Jingu Gaien, Tokyo, Japa
【参见博文《[原创] 明治神宫 走阴森表参道观日式结婚礼(11P)》】
Despite it’s reputation as a city of tiny apartments and crowded public spaces, Tokyo is a surprisingly green city. There are parks, open public areas and botanical gardens all over Tokyo.
This tunnel can be found in the Meiji-Jingu Gaien park located some 1 mile east of the Meiji-Jingu shrine, named after the Meiji Emperor who passed away in 1912. Beautiful in any season, the tunnel comes into its full glory in autumn when the gingko tree leaves turn a hue of deep yellow and feel almost magical.
4、南非比勒陀利亚的蓝花楹隧道 Jacarandas Walk, Pretoria, South Africa
【参见博文《[组图] 抛开末日传说 领略世间最美旅程(40P)》】
Pretoria is often called “Jacaranda City”, thanks to the miles upon miles of jacaranda trees that line its roads, parks and avenues. The brilliant purple flowers of the tree are a sight to behold, especially in early November (peak summer in the southern hemisphere) when the flowers are in full bloom.
There are jacaranda lined avenues all over the city, though the prettiest is arguably along Old Church Street on the corner of Eastwood and Stanza Bopape. Here, the trees are so close together that the create a tunnel-like canopy of purple flowers.
5、美国加利福尼亚的柏树隧道 Cypress Tunnel, Point Reyes, California
The Point Reyes seashore is the site of the historic Marconi wireless station – one of the earliest radio stations in the world and the only commercial Morse code stations still operational in the US.
The rugged coast of Point Reyes is also home to a remarkable tunnel of cypress trees that date back to hundreds of years.
6、日本宫城县的樱花隧道 Sakura Tunnel, Ogawara, Miyagi, Japan
【参见博文《[组图] 梦幻的花灯展览 浪漫的樱花隧道(29P)》】
Sakura is Japanese for ‘cherry blossom’. Sakura viewing is a tradition in Japan. Besides being extremely pretty, the pink-white flowers of the cherry blossom trees often used as a symbol of the transient nature of life in Japanese poetry and philosophy.
There are many, many places for sakura viewing in Japan, from major cities like Osaka to the countryside. One great place for sakura-viewing is the town of Ogawara in Miyagi prefecture. The sakura flowers fold over a small half-mile long path, creating a tunnel-like effect. Unlike Osaka or Tokyo, there is very little thoroughfare through this tunnel, making it the perfect place for sakura-viewing and reflecting on the beauty and transience of life.
7、美国路易斯安那的橡树庄园 Oak Alley Plantation, Vacherie, Louisiana
This beautiful oak-lined avenue can be found along the banks of the Mississippi River outside New Orleans in Louisiana. The trees were planted in the early 18th century.
If this tunnel looks familiar, it may be because you’ve seen it in a movie. Some of the movies shot here include Interview with a Vampire, Primary Colors, Django Unchained and segments of True Detective.
8、德国波恩的樱花隧道 Cherry Blossom Tunnel, Bonn, Germany
【参见博文《[组图] CherryBrickRoad:春意洒满樱花路(24P)》】
Bonn is a large city of 310,000 people on the banks of the Rhine river in western Germany. The city is covered in cherry blossom trees that come into full bloom for around 20 days in summer.
The best place to experience the beauty of the cherry blossoms is the Nordstadt area of Bonn, specifically, Heerstra?e, where the streets are narrow and the trees create a tunnel-like canopy of flowers.
9、北爱尔兰的黑暗树篱 The Dark Hedges, Bregagh Road, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
【参见博文《[精选] 爱尔兰神秘古道 童话般黑暗树篱(30P)》】
One of Ireland’s most photographed natural phenomena, the “Dark Hedges” is an avenue of beech trees planted along a narrow country road. The trees block out much of the sunlight in certain parts, creating a haunting, tunnel-like illusion.
10、巴西阿雷格里港的林荫大道 Rua Goncalo de Carvalho, Porto Alegre, Brazil
【参见博文《[组图] 巴西城市最奇特公路 绿色树林覆盖半公里》】
Often called the “most beautiful street in the wordl”, Rua Goncalo de Carvalho is a narrow street in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre. The half-kilometer long stretch of road is covered in a dense thicket of trees, such that it looks like a forest sprouting in the middle of the city when viewed from afar. The street itself is so densely covered with trees that it’s impossible to see the sky or get much sunshine, especially when the trees are in full-bloom.
11、日本京都的嵯峨野竹林 Sagano Bamboo Forest, Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan
【参见博文《[原摄] 京都 日本人的心灵故乡找寻昔年繁华(15P)》】
The tree covered Arashiyama district of Kyoto has parks, lakes and dozens of restaurants serving great Japanese food. Little wonder it’s such a hit with the tourists.
One of the region’s most loved tourist attractions is the Bamboo Path that cuts through the Bamboo groves that grow in the region. The narrow walking path is surrounded by towering bamboo plants that gently sway back and forth, making for a memorable experience.
12、英国威尔士的紫杉树隧道 Yew Tree Tunnel, Aberglasney, Carmarthenshire, Wales
【参见博文《[组图] 绿树成荫花为径 看十大最美树隧道(20P)》】
The yew tree tunnel isn’t entirely natural – after the trees were planted (as per most records, sometime in the 18th century), they trunks were bent over to create extended archs.
The end result is a tunnel of sorts made up of yew tree trunks and branches that makes for pretty surreal experience.
The tunnel itself can be found in the Aberglasney House and Gardens – a medieval-era house situation in Carmarthenshire, western Wales. After you’re through with your tree tunnel walk, you can explore the rest of the house and gardens, most parts of which were built in the 15th century.
For good measure, the house is also said to be haunted by the ghost of Thomas Phillips, the house’s 19th century owner.
13、日本河口湖的枫树隧道 Tunnel of Maple Trees, Lake Kawaguchiko, Japan
【参见博文《[原创] 富士见 梦想在山梨山中湖的水面升腾(12P)》】
Come here for two reasons: to see Mount Fuji, located just a few kilometers further inland from the Fujikawaguchiko town, and to walk through the tunnel of maple trees along the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko.
14、英国博德南特花园的金链花隧道 Laburnum Tunnel, Bodnant Garden, Tal-y-Cafn, Conwy, Wales
Bodnant Garden is a historic garden spread over 80 acres surrounding Bodnant House near the town of Tal-y-Cafn in Wales. Originally built in the late 19th century, the house and the attached gardens are now a National Trust property known for its verdant, formal gardens, ponds, and rose gardens.
It’s most popular feature, however, remains the artificial tunnel of stunning yellow-gold laburnum flowers. When in bloom, the flowers completely cover the arch, making for a breathtaking sight.
15、美国佛蒙特州的秋树隧道 Autumn Tree Tunnel, Smuggler’s Notch State Park, Stowe, Vermont, USA【参见博文《[组图] Blue Ridge Parkway道路之美 和谐为尚(20P) 》】
The dense forests of the park were once used by bootleggers and smugglers during the prohibition era – hence the name.
One of the most popular attractions in the park remains a road covered in trees that form a tunnel-like canopy. The tunnel is at its most beautiful in autumn, when the leaves turn a deep shade of brown, yellow and red.
Bonus point: when you go further down the road, you reach a waterfall known locally as ‘hippie hole’
