In 40 1 year, Kumarajiva, an Indian monk, went to China to spread Buddhism and took the tree with him. Kumarajiva planted it in front of Huxian ancient temple near Xi 'an. Up to now, it takes four people to finish folding the trunk. It is the earliest introduced Platanus acerifolia in China.

Because the trees and leaves of Platanus acerifolia are very similar to Platanus acerifolia, it is mistaken for Platanus acerifolia. After extensive cultivation in Europe, the French brought it to Shanghai and planted it on Joffrey Avenue (now Huaihai Middle Road as a street tree). People call it "Platanus acerifolia", hence the name Platanus acerifolia.
