According to the People's Daily, a clay statue about 60 cm tall can be seen through a hole in the trunk.

Giant ancient camphor tree is believed to be over 1,000 years old. The newly discovered Buddha statue attracted many tourists to see the trees.

According to Chinese legend, the statue was sculpted after the death of the philosopher Zhou Hi (1130-1200) for the purpose of memorial. It was put in through a crack on the body weight, the People's Daily wrote.

Then the crack gradually healed. Therefore, people can discover this 'miracle'.
