Introduction to the ancient papaya tree: According to legend, one night in the spring of 1986, an old man who was looking after the bamboo forest in Yunding had a dream. He dreamed of an old man with a white beard who said that as long as he touched the papaya tree, he would be happy all his life. Will not get sick. When I woke up the next day, the old man in charge made up a set of prayer jingles based on what the white-bearded old man said: "Touch the papaya tree, and you will not get sick when you grow old; touch the waist of the papaya tree, and it will get better year by year." Live a high life; if you touch the papaya tree, you will live to at least ninety-nine." Therefore, every year on the third day of the third month and the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, many tourists come here to burn incense and hang red flowers under the papaya tree to seek blessings. The current caretaker of the papaya tree will also lead visitors to touch the tree, say a jingle, and pray for them.
