Spring never ends in Shenyang, Liaoning province. City officials had fake leaves attached to the naked autumnal trees as part of a winter beautification effort.
Locals reportedly expressed scepticism when a row of trees planted in a commercial district were revealed to be covered in bright green leaves... in November. City officials later admitted that fake leaves had been attached to the trees to make the street more "vibrant" during winter months.
Some online commenters expressed concern that children would be confused to see unnatural "spring leaves" covering the trees during the year's coldest months.
