PENAMPANG: Flowering trees that look like cherry blossoms or sakura along a stretch of road here have become an attraction for passers-by.

These trees have turned a stretch along Jalan Pintas here into an Instagram-worthy spot, with some uploading photos of the trees there on social media and others seeing wedding photo shoots taking place there.
