In China, if there is one of the most fascinating trees, it must be the welcome pine of Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. It is known as a living money tree and is said to contribute 300 million yuan in ticket revenue to the Huangshan Scenic Area every year. This welcoming pine stands on the top of the Yellow Mountain, symbolizing the majesty of the thousand-year-old tree.
It grows out of the cracks in the stone, stands tall and tall, and is thousands of years old. Under the snow cover in winter, it looks even more magnificent, like an ancient nobleman standing proudly. Literati and writers of the past dynasties wrote poems and painted it, and regarded it as a symbol of the Yellow Mountain.
The welcome pine was engraved on the iron painting of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and became one of the symbols of Huangshan.
In order to protect this precious tree, the Huangshan Scenic Area spares no expense, and conducts expert maintenance every 6 years, and there are special personnel guarding it 24 hours a day. This welcome pine is one of the most valuable trees in China.
However, China's most attractive welcoming pine is not only found in Huangshan, Guangxi is also home to amazing magical trees. On the Bamboo Mountain in Rong'an County, Liuzhou, a welcoming pine looms among the dense weeds. It is tall and tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, as if it is welcoming guests from afar with open arms, which is comparable to the welcoming pine of Huangshan.
In the depths of the Xiaohuang Mountain in Guangxi - Dayao Mountain, the welcome pine can be seen everywhere.
On the top of Wuzi in Jinxiu County, a welcoming pine seems to be embracing the vast sea of clouds, and in other places, there are lonely welcoming pines, which stand tenaciously on the cliffs, no one to take care of them, but they show tenacious vitality. Although these welcome pines come from poor backgrounds, they have the quality of perseverance and embrace the world with a unique attitude.
Some people joke that it is not because they can't afford to go to Huangshan, but because the welcome pine in Guangxi is more cost-effective. Although these welcoming pines in Guangxi are not as famous as those of Huangshan, they are also worth exploring and appreciating. They not only show the wonderful charm of the natural world, but also bear witness to the rich history and unique culture of this land of Guangxi.
