Features: This is a travelogue about a solo journey westward, a series of captivating photographs, and passages of fresh, elegant, and poetic language that will transport you to a dreamlike realm. It made me wonder, what kind of trees were they? How could they possess such charm? If only one man were devoted to them and sang love songs for them year after year, I might understand. But how could they attract so many unrelated men from all directions? I also don’t believe they came just to see them. There must be a mystery here, a hidden one. Could it be that an eternal spring lies buried beneath those trees? So, in an orange-yellow autumn, I too went out. I went to the distant Ejina.
