Guilty Chinese Scholartree

The Guilty Chinese Scholartree, a specimen of Pagoda Tree (Styphnolobium japonicum) located in Beijing's Jingshan park, is a famous tree and national landmark on which the last Ming emperor Chongzhen hanged himself after a group of peasants (led by Li Zicheng) successfully stormed the Forbidden City.

The tree was uprooted during the Cultural Revolution and the present one that stands in its place is a replica.
