It is understood that the tree was about 115 meters high and was discovered by two amateur doctors in 2006. Although the park did not announce its specific location, in 2010, after some travel bloggers began to share the location of the tree on the Internet, many tourists came to visit "check in".

In 2019, with the Guinness World Record Certification, this tree is the highest tree in the world. It is estimated that the age is 600 to 800 years.

The staff of the park said that the name of this tree is "Habolong God", which comes from Greek mythology. It is reported that the Habolong God is one of the twelve tancies, which is originally intended to be "crossing the high -altitude."

It is reported that because tourists have always come to visit, they even "opened up" a few small trails that can reach this tree in the dense jungle, which makes the "Hailong God" and the surrounding environment being being surrounded by their surrounding environment. Serious destruction.

In this regard, Sequoia National Park called on tourists to protect the tree: "You can take a walk in the woods and play a picnic at the stream, play in the water, but you don't have to scramble to climb this tall but thin tree. As a tourist, do you have to decide, do you want to be a person who protects this unique scenery, or is it a 'destructive element'? "
