Walnut King Park
核桃王公园
A walnut tree said to be over a thousand years old still bears fruit every year. Visitors can crawl through its hollow trunk, making it a classic photo stop in Hotan.
Walnut King Park is located in Bagqi Township, Hotan County. Its centerpiece is an ancient walnut tree said to have been planted in the Tang dynasty and to be over a thousand years old. It stands about 16 meters tall, its trunk takes several people to encircle, and its hollow trunk can be walked through. It still bears fruit every year and is known as the 'Walnut King'. The park has a grape trellis and rest areas in Uyghur style, where you can sample walnuts and fruit. The park is not large, and a visit takes about 1 hour. It is often visited together with the Fig King and Yotkan Ancient City. Check the scenic area's announcements for admission fees.
