Walking into Gaiyu Township, you can see all kinds of small wooden boxes hanging on the trees on the bank of Sanjiang Interchange. Wooden boxes are bound along the trunk, ranging in length from 50 to 80 cm and in different shapes, but they are all sealed. Some trees are hung with four or five wooden boxes, while others have only one or two, which look like beehives built by beekeepers. Incredibly, this is a unique custom here-tree burial.

There is a village called Zhapan in White County, which means "a place with messy hair".

It is said that Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty passed by here when she entered Tibet to marry Songzan Gambo, the king of Tibet. Seeing the mild climate and beautiful scenery here, the princess decided to camp here for a few days to recover from the fatigue of long-distance travel. The princess finished washing and grooming by the stream, and a lot of hair fell off her comb. After she picked up her combed hair and meditated for a long time, she asked the maid to scatter it in the grass dam. Since then, this area has been named "Zhapan", where Princess Wencheng spread her hair.
