FA Xiang Tang Zhang is a camphor tree at the foot of nangaofeng mountain in Hangzhou. It is named "Gu Shu 281". It is 1068 years old (in 2019). It is called "Tang Zhang", which was planted in the Tang Dynasty. It is called "Fa Xiang Tang Zhang" because it lives in FA Xiang lane. A long time ago, there was a fa Xiang Temple beside it. Faxiang temple is no longer there, but the road is still there. The trunk of the whole Cinnamomum camphora is divided into two branches: one to the South and the other to the north. Since 1986, it has been under the first-class key protection, built a stone sill for it, and wrote two big red characters "Tang Zhang" on the stone wall. Under the platform of Tangzhang, there is a pavilion rebuilt in 2003. Originally in 1918, Chen Sanli, a famous poet in the late Qing Dynasty, gathered ten good friends to raise money for the tree and built the pavilion. At that time, Chen Sanli also wrote a special piece "the story of Zhangting", which said: "I can't bear to go after rubbing it for a long time. Ren first proposed to build a pavilion to avoid the invasion of wind, rain and snow, and entertain the audience."
