Locust tree of Hongdong

The Locust Tree of Hongdong is an ancient tree standing in a park in Linfen that serves as a symbol of family history. The grounds contain multiple halls and structures where visitors can learn about ancestors and walk through different areas.

The site was founded during an early period as a place for people moving to other regions. This became an important turning point that shaped its role as a gathering point for migrating families.

The tree's name comes from a local story that many visitors learn about while exploring the grounds. People come here to understand their family roots and trace where their ancestors lived and traveled.

The park has different opening hours depending on the season, so check the exact times when you arrive. There are many pathways to walk through, so wear comfortable shoes and plan enough time to explore at your own pace.

A main building in the park holds the names of thousands of families who departed from this place. This makes it an exceptional collection of records about people who started their lives in new locations.
