You won't believe your eyes when you find this fairy tale-worthy gold tree near Vancouver.

It can be found, in Abbotsford, inside the peaceful International Friendship Garden.

The surreal sight is similar to the Godswood from Game Of Thrones as both trees have a face.

But this one is even more spectacular, with its shiny metallic finish.

The eye-candy doesn't stop there; you'll also find a soothing cascading waterfall flowing into a pond, and ample benches perfect for reading a book.
