An attraction where a single tree stands solitarily on expansive grassland at Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden has gone viral and become a popular spot for visitors to take pictures to be posted online.

As a camera pans the site from bottom to top, a horizon separates the green lawn and the blue sky with only a single tree standing between heaven and earth; its straight trunks and umbrella-shaped canopy forming a beautiful silhouette.

The photogenic spot creates an Instagram-worthy background. It is also attractive for its large, but not crowded space. As a result, more and more visitors have come to take photos at the site, with these striking photos quickly spreading on social media and adding to the site's popularity.

Whether it's distant or close-up photos of one person standing or sitting with the single tree, the photos that are taken have a visual appeal akin to movie posters. In addition, couples have been drawn to the site to take romantic photos, while the site has also been popular with families taking group photos.

In addition, the spot is enticing as it offers different scenes for visitors from sunrise to sunset and season to season, making it a versatile background for striking photos all year around.
