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

This photo reminds me what my father and many others told me about the Nationalist Chinese soldiers when they arrived in Taiwan in 1945 and there-after. Many of these Nationalist Chinese soldiers, with guns, ripped off the water faucets from Taiwanese civilians' homes and stuck them into the walls in their own occupied residencies, hoping the water will flow.
