The Red Sandalwood Museum in Beijing on Dec 15, 2011. Red sandalwood is considered by some to be the most precious wood in the world, as the tree grows only one inch every 100 years. It takes at least 400 years to grow to full size, and it’s very hard to find red sandalwood trees in China now. [Photo/Sun Xinqiang] |
