Beishi Ancient Camphor Tree with a Buddha Statue

Beishi Millennium Ancient Camphor Tree with a Buddha Statue at Kaoting:

This attraction is located about 4.5 kilometers from downtown Jianyang. Research has confirmed that the ancient camphor tree in Beishi is over 1,200 years old. It is said that around 780 years ago, after the death of Zhu Xi, as his Neo-Confucian teachings had become widely respected, people carved a deity statue into a fissure in the main trunk of the ancient tree to honor his memory and express their reverence. Over time, the crack in the camphor tree has healed, creating the unique spectacle seen today.
