The Ancient Camphor Tree at Guiyuan

　　   The Ancient Camphor Tree at Guiyuan is situated in Guiyuan, Nan County. Guiyuan was originally a "Osmanthus Garden" established by the Tu family ancestors after they moved from Zhejiang to Nan County in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Although the osmanthus trees have long since perished, one ancient camphor tree still stands. With a history of over 850 years, it remains lush and evergreen all year round. The tree stands approximately 30 meters tall and has a trunk circumference of 6.2 meters, making it a rare treasure by the shores of Dongting Lake. The People's Government of Nan County has designated this site as the "Guiyuan Ruins," which is a key cultural relic protection unit of the county.
