The Guest-Greeting Pine is a famous landmark on Huangshan Mountain. The 10-meter-tall pine, whose roots sprang from the rocks on the UNESCO world heritage site, stands at an altitude of more than 1,600 meters. Its most recognizable feature is a long branch extending like an outstretched arm in a welcoming gesture. In the 1980s, a post to oversee the Guest-Greeting Pine was created, responsible for the daily care and observation of the remarkable millenary tree. In 2016, Ding Ding became one of the guardians of the Guest-Greeting Pine, assisting Hu Xiaochun, the 19th guardian of the pine. They are not only colleagues, but also mentor and apprentice.
