  • Keteleeria davidiana: The Tough Tree

    In the Shennongtan area in Shennongjia, there is an ancient Keteleeria davidiana with a history of over a thousand years. According to local folklore, a long time ago, a bully living in the mountains saw that this tree was so tall and wanted to use it as his coffin in the future. However, no axe or knife could hurt it.

No one knows if its Chinese name Tiejian Youshan (meaning “the iron-hard Keteleeria”) comes from this legend.
