Gerze county is located in the heartland of the northern Tibetan Plateau in Ngari prefecture of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Near the southern shore of a lake 80 kilometers away from downtown Gerze county, a natural landscape resembling a tree can be seen beside National Highway 216.

It looks like a forest made up of small trees when viewed from nearby places. Looking from above, the landscape looks like a huge tree, with traces of water flows becoming the trunk and branches of the tree.
