In-between Bayi Town and Nyingchi County, there is a
wood of giant cypress trees. The local Tibetans regard them as "holy trees". The
oldest trees are more than 2500 year old and they are rare trees on the Plateau. They are
quite significant in scientific research, expedition, teaching and tourism.
