How Ginkgo tree traveled from China to Kashmir


The Kashmir-Central Asia Economic Corridor (KCAEC) is a major trade and connectivity corridor that has been a vital bridge of historical connections between Kashmir and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) for centuries. The people of Kashmir used this highway for their trade until 1947. 

Thanks to this route, trees, plants, flowers and herbs from various countries have made their home in Kashmir, the most prominent of which is the Ginkgo biloba tree.
