The ginkgo tree in Bangye-ri, Wonju has been protected as a natural monument since its designation on January 31, 1964. The exact age of the tree is unknown, but it is estimated to be over 800 years old. The tree reaches a total x_height of 33 meters, with a crown stretching 37.5 meters east-west, and 31 meters north-south. According to the legend about the tree's origin, it was planted by a member of the Seongju Lee family, who stopped for a drink of water here and left his staff standing in the ground when he left. The staff then grew into the tree. Another legend about the tree states there is a white snake living in the tree, which is why it has grown so strong and big today. The local farmers believe they will have a good harvest if the whole tree turns gold in fall.
