The tree age is 70-350 years, and the general tree height is 15 meters. This forest is the most well preserved and the largest natural Pinus tabulaeformis forest in North China. You can see the oldest "king of pine trees" and the "Panlong pine" with peculiar trunk growing on the cliff A hundred year old pine with peculiar growth posture, such as "sea pine" on the cliff.

As far back as the Qing Dynasty, the Pinus tabulaeformis here was still a tribute to the imperial palace. In the midsummer of 1761, the emperor and the civil and military officials went to Songshan to enjoy the scenery of the mountains and waters, and praised the pine forest. Later, the local government ordered the local government to go to Songshan every autumn to select two pine trees, eight inches thick and one hundred and five feet long, and send them to the Palace Museum in Beijing. Local officials dare not disobey orders. Every autumn, they go to Songshan to choose two good pines, which are wrapped in red silk. They are carried by twelve people, and are transported to Beijing through Guangou, Nankou and Changping. It is used to worship heaven every winter. Pine paid tribute to the palace until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1914, the governor of Yanqing County, Li Jingang (nicknamed Li Da Bang Chui), saw the natural Pinus tabulaeformis forest in Haituo mountain and wanted to make a windfall. He colluded with some local gentlemen, such as Wang Menglan of Baimiao village, yuan Datou of Jiuxian village and Zhao Mengshu of Geng Jiaying, to sell the pine trees to a match company in Tianjin and make a fortune.

The news spread all over the county. Forty eight villages in the northwest of the county learned that someone was going to cut down our Fengshui forest and destroy our "Congling cuizhang". The masses spontaneously organized the struggle to protect the pine forest. Yuan zhanen of Xiaying village in front of Haituo mountain and Wang Zhen of Mazhuang village went to Zhangshanying, shanghanquan, xiahanquan, xiaohetun, Wuliying and other villages. The villagers elected yuan zhanen and Wang Zhen as leaders to take care of the pine forest in Songshan.

One day, more than 100 people from Tianjin match company cut down pine trees in sidaowa and under the pine beam of Songshan. Yuan zhanen and Wang Zhen led hundreds of people with iron forks and sticks to surround the loggers. Standing on the rocks, yuan zhanen raised his iron fork and roared, "get out of here! Cut down our Fengshui forest, mind your head, folks, move on The villagers rushed forward with sticks in their hands, and the loggers threw down their tools and scattered.

After Li Jingang, the county magistrate, found out about this, yuan zhanen and Wang Zhen were arrested by the county government and put into prison for the crime of "gathering people to make trouble".

Yuan zhanen and Wang Zhen were sentenced to death on June 6 after a notice was posted in a county on the beginning of June.

As soon as the notice was posted, 48 villagers were filled with righteous indignation. A man riding a big red horse ran all over 48 village to tell yuan zhanen and Wang Zhen that they had been sentenced to death. He was scheduled to go to the county town for rescue on June 6.

When it was almost dawn on June 6 of the lunar calendar, nearly ten thousand people from 48 villages came to the gate of the West Street of the county with sticks and farm tools in hand. The south gate was closed, and everyone rushed to ask Li Jingang to come out. The shouting was so loud that the guard trembled. A few minutes later, the villagers climbed over the wall and opened the door. When Li Jingang saw the situation, he had to come out. He was so scared that he could not help himself
