Introduction to the Gongli Tree: The Gongli Tree is located in the Gongli Garden in the scenic area. The tree is over 400 years old. In the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Qi Kun, the magistrate of Laiyang County at the time, came to the pear garden to taste its fruit. It was as sweet as glutinous rice. He praised it. He couldn't stop talking, so he praised it with the word "Hanjin". Pears from this tree were also taken as tribute to the imperial court, and successive county magistrates paid tribute year after year. The tribute pear tree became famous all over the world. Since then, the fruit of this tree has been given to Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai and other national leaders to taste.
