About Yangshuo Big Banyan Tree
Its hanging aerial roots and branches growing close to the ground make one tree resemble a small grove. The setting also carries a cinematic association: the Liu Sanjie film used the tree for a courtship scene. Look first at the whole crown from a little distance, then at the roots and branching structure; these physical details are more rewarding than a precise, disputed age claim.
What to look for
- The broad canopy, aerial roots and low branches create the impression of several connected trees.
- The Jinbao River gives a waterside view of the tree and surrounding countryside.
