The Maohuo Ancient Tree Cluster Park, located in Ningbo, East China's Zhejiang province, has recently been included in the National Greening Commission's list of the 100 most beautiful ancient tree clusters.

Situated in Zhangshui town, Haishu district, the park is home to 90 ancient trees, with an average age of 470 years. Among them is a more than 1,000-year-old pine tree.

Ningbo has a total of six ancient tree clusters, with Maohuo being the largest and oldest. The park's staff revealed that in just over a month, the ancient tree cluster will be adorned with vibrant autumn foliage.

In recent years, the Maohuo Ancient Tree Cluster Park has become a popular local attraction in Ningbo, attracting a significant number of visitors. This influx of visitors has indirectly benefitted nearby villages, helping them boost sales of agricultural products.
