Where are the five trees?

When it comes to "Wukesong" in Beijing, people will immediately think of Wukesong subway station or 30 1 hospital of the People's Liberation Army. There are Wukesong overpass, Wukesong photographic equipment city, Wukesong cultural and sports center and Wukesong gymnasium around Wukesong. The original name is not widely known, but now it is named after 200 1 Beijing's Olympic bid. The supporting project of the Olympic Games, namely Wukesong Sports and Culture Center, an important venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, will be built here, and its scale is second only to the Olympic Park.

As the name implies, "Wukesong" is named after the Wukesong tree. It is said that the original five ancient pine trees are the remains of Ying Shao, a Qing official, more than 200 years ago. Some people speculate that it was planted by good-hearted people in order to cool the people carrying coal in Mentougou, western China. 1966 when the first-line subway was built, the subway just passed under its roots, and soon the trees withered and died. Although five ancient pine trees have been eradicated, Wukesong has been passed down as a place name. Later, the Wukesong tree was replanted to commemorate it.

The origin of the name Wukesong is called by people, and it has become a custom over time. Not only in Beijing, but also in Nanjing. In Shanghai, there is a company called Shanghai Wukesong Technology Co., Ltd. ..
