Outside the former Puhui Nunnery (now the Putuo Mountain Sanatorium), there stands a camphor tree over a thousand years old—this is the famous "Millennium Camphor Tree" of Mount Putuo. Having endured a thousand years of change, it remains lush and densely leafy, with branches spread wide like an umbrella. If you visit it, you’ll find many red ribbons hanging from its branches and trunk—these were offered by well-wishers praying for blessings.
