Qilin Pine

　　       Located on the waist of Lion Peak in the northern part of Beihai, near the Lion Forest Hermitage. The Qilin Pine has a trunk diameter of 50 centimeters and splits into two trunks at a height of 1.5 meters, which grow diagonally in opposite directions—east and west—at varying heights. The higher branch resembles a qilin’s horn, while the lower one looks like its tail. The main trunk’s bark is mottled like a qilin’s scales, strikingly resembling the form of a qilin. Hence the name.
