A Water Faucet In a Tree Trunk, I Kid You Not!


Water flows from a faucet sticking out of the trunk of a tree in Kaohsiung in soutner Taiwan, I kid you not. A Taiwanese man carved an indentation in the trunk around 20 years ago and installed a water pipe. The tree, now called “The Magical Tree” by residents, grew to surround the water pipe, leaving only the faucet visible.

Note: In the Chinese-language, water faucet is "sui long tou", meaning WATER DRAGON HEAD
