Gingko branches stretch out in all directions from the path, ridge, house foundation and stone steps, supporting the whole Tuole village on the tree roots. In summer, the layers of green leaves are now golden. The fallen leaves are covered with slate paths, black tile houses, harvested rice fields, and even the clear and transparent streams and small stone bridges in the village are decorated with fan-shaped ginkgo leaves.
A huge village is densely covered by one ancient tree after another, and only a small scale and a half of its claws are exposed; the huge trunks send the branches into the air; the thick and golden leaves seem to spill all over the sky. "Once you look at the city, then you look at the country. "At this time, the beauty of Tule village is absolutely beautiful.
The cottage is close to mountains and rivers, and the golden autumn leaves give it a layer of dreamy color. We walked down the village path. The roots of trees are laid on the road, just like the green tendons on the back of old people's hands. Many children play on the roots of trees. The trees are close to each other, and the roots are closely connected. Under the tree is the house, and at the foot of the wall is the tree root. The whole Tuole village is the village on the tree root. According to reports, there are thousands of ancient ginkgo trees in Tule village, the youngest over 300 years old and the oldest over 500 years old.

According to textual research, Tuole village was a place where Yi people lived more than 600 years ago. Because of the southwest troops in the early Ming Dynasty, it became a place where Yi and Han people lived together. With the development of history, although the residents of Tuole village have evolved, the culture of "people and trees depend on each other" has never changed. Experts from Southwest Forestry University believe that this kind of culture has distinctive characteristics and profound connotation, which can be summarized as a new cultural form -- the charming village of tree culture.
