Yangmei Camphor Tree Bogong, Sacred wish tree in Yangmei, Taiwan.
Yangmei Camphor Tree Bogong is an ancient tree with massive, spreading branches that create a large natural canopy across the site. Pathways wind around it, making it easy to walk closer and experience its scale from different angles.
This tree has grown for centuries in the region during times when camphor was valued for its wood and healing uses. Its current size reflects generations of undisturbed growth in one location.
Visitors come here to write wishes on red ribbons and tie them to the branches as personal prayers. The practice has become a way for people to express hopes and feel part of something larger than themselves.
The site is accessible daily with parking available and benches placed along the walking paths for rest. Visitors can move around easily on foot, and the natural canopy provides welcome shade during warm weather.
The trunk measures over 20 meters in circumference, making it a record-holder among camphor trees in northern Taiwan. This size reveals decades of stable growth and adaptation to local climate and soil conditions.
