Description: Huge Cypress is in Purqoin Village, where cypress trees cover an area of 10 hectares. Their average height is 44m with a trunk diameter of 1.58m. The largest cypress is famed as ‘the Best of Chinese Cypress' with the height of 52m and trunk diameter of 5.8m. It is over 2,600 years old now and is named as King of the World's Cypress. It is said that it is the life tree of Sinraomiqiho, the founder of the Bon Religion.

The King of Mulberry is near Bangna Village. It is 7.4-meter high and its trunk diameter is 4m, with an age of over 1,600 years. The mulberry is flourishing with leaves but without flowers or fruits, and is called a male tree. Every time before it rains, water will drop from the leaves of the tree so it is called as a ‘weather forecasting tree' by the locals. It is said that, long ago, the Nyang Qu River and the Yarlung Zangbo River were in flood at the same time. Bangna Village was flooded but several residents of this village escaped from death by climbing up the King of Mulberry, so it is also called a ‘life-saving tree'.

The King of Walnut Tree is near Mirui Village. It is 35-meter high, with a 4.5-meter high trunk and a diameter of 2.66m. Its crown covers 15 hectares and it is over 800 years old.
