The Real Shenmue Tree!

Postby R3N » Wed Feb 23, 2011 9:22 am

I did research and the shenmue tree is real.
It is a Peach tree it is similar to cherry blossom.
They even got a festival called Guilin peach blossom festival.

There is a river in Guilin called peach blossom.

He notice the tree looks similar to a cherry blossom.
In china they make many festivals about peach tree because of it blossom beauty the same way Japan makes festivals about cherry blossoms.

Remember Shenhua is from Miao Village They speak a different chinese dialet called Hmong that only their people speak and not everyone in china can understand because it is different than Mandarin the Chinese dialet most used.
Maybe in her dialet they call peach tree as shenmue.
Yu probably talking with someone there and they told him the name of the peach tree using their language and that name is Shenmue that or Yu make the name up(Which I doubt). But that Tree in the game is definitely a Peach tree.

I always thought it was a species of tree in China from the same family of cherry blossom called shenmue...
or maybe the Chinese name for cherry blossom is shenmue?.
Anyway the tree on the video reminds me of the shenmue tree in the game.

Shenmue Tree is fiction and we can only speculate it's meaning in the story of Shenmue, it's role is bound to be relevant, even if in a purely symbolic way.

No Peter I am talking about the Shenmue Tree in shenmue 2 last disk

Also I updated the Thread and the Tree does exist.
Based on what you see on the video the tree is similar to Blossom tree but is it not a cherry tree
So it must be a Peach tree since
They even make festival in guilin called peach blossom
and a river is called peach blossom too.
I updated the thread check it out to see why I think the shenmue tree is actually a peach tree.
