The 500-odd-year old white pine tree in Huichon is 18 metres tall, 4 metres round at the root neck, 5.5 metres round at the chest height and 21 metres wide at the crown.
Four branches grow out from the main trunk at the height of two metres. They are about 1.8 metres round respectively. They spread lots of branches upwards to form a crown in the shape of an umbrella.
As the oldest one of similar trees growing in the PRC, it is of great academic significance.
