In the mountain forests of Shiqian County in Guizhou Province, thousands of wild Chinese yews are adorned with bright red berries, glowing like jewels under the wintry sun. These cherry-like fruits ripen in late autumn, adding a splash of color to the serene landscape.
The slow-growing yew trees, perched around 1,000 meters above sea level, are classified as a first-class protected plant in China.
