A giant juniper brings cash to Tibetan villagers in Nyingchi, Tibet autonomous region.
One of the 990 juniper trees in the Bakyib district of Nyingchi, the 3,238-year-old giant juniper, is regarded as the world's biggest juniper according to historical documents of the Tibetan Bon religion, according to residents.
It takes 14 adults with their arms linked to reach around the tree. It is 57 meters tall.
As the tree has become a tourist attraction, residents sell their locally produced organic fruits, walnuts, mushrooms and fungus to tourists.
