QR code stands for quick response code which is a type of matrix barcode. QR codes are very popular and useful among the people of the modern world. These codes help us to transfer data faster and we see it every day in our life. But can you think about a garden that represents a QR code?
This obsession reaches another dimension when they create a garden of giant QR code. They have done this in a vast field outside Xinlinshui village, located near to Baoding city in Hebei province in northern China. The villagers planted 130,000 trees in the field in a mannered way so that it can give the shape and impression of a huge QR code. You have to see it from the top or from an airplane to observe the full view of the QR code. They have chosen juniper trees to make this garden and the trees are all between 80 centimeters and 2.5 meters in height.

But why did they create this garden? The main purpose of this garden is to attract tourists and boost tourism in that place.
What does the QR code represent and is it scannable? This giant QR code in china represents the local social media "WeChat", which was first released in 2011. WeChat helps visitors to get all sorts of travel information. And shockingly, this mega-sized QR code is also scannable. If you pass the village in an airplane or a helicopter, you can scan the code and get a link to the official local tourism WeChat account.
This is a great way to promote a village, its tourism, and also a social media that is connected with tourism.
