Yufeng Monastery

This small lama monastery is on a hillside about five km past the town of Baisha. The monastery sits at the foot of Mountain Yulongxue, and was established in 1756AD. The main attraction nowadays is the ¡° camellia tree of 10000 blossoms¡¯. Ten thousand might be something of an exaggeration, but locals claim that the tree produces at least 4000 between February and April. Amonk on the grouds risked his life to keep the tree secretly waterd during the years of the Cultural Revolution.
