The Taoxia Line in Kaihua county, Quzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, a county road that connects Taoxi village and Xiajieshou village, has recently become a popular destination for cycling due to its stunning scenery.

The road spans 29.14 kilometers and passes through the national 5A-level scenic spot of the Root Palace Buddhist Cultural Tourism Zone and 16 villages along the way.

In the 1980s, nearly 10,000 metasequoias were planted along the road. They have now grown into tall trees standing in rows on both sides of the road.

The metasequoias along the road have recently turned gold and red, creating a stunning view and attracting throngs of visitors. 

The road is also a popular route for international and domestic sporting events, such as marathons, triathlons, and cycling tours.
