WISHING REE
In the scenic area, Wishing Tree is Pistacia chinensis, said to be blessed by gods. Therefore, villagers from surrounding regions usually use red ribbons, write wishes, tie them with heavy objects (stones were used in the early years; later, persimmons were used), make a sincere wish to the tree, and throw them up the tree trunk. If they do not fall down, the wish will come true. The branches of Wishing Tree are often entangled with treasures, so that the tree becomes quite fragile. In order to protect the tree, a wishing pool is built beside the tree in the scenic area, to accept wishes..
