Tall Banyan

Tall Banyan, located 7.5 kilometers south of Yangshuo. It is one of the main scenic attractions of Yangshuo County. It is said that the banyan was planted in the Jin Dynasty and is now famous for its age and towering beauty.

The banyan tree is now 17 meters high, 7.1 meters around the trunk, and covers an area of 1000 square meters. When we look closely we see that it has beautifully twisted roots and gnarled branches, hoary with primitive simplicity. Its crown is round with an exuberant growth of branches and leaves. There is a huge branch stretching out straight beginning at 1 meter above the ground. Enduring wind and rain for thousands of years, it is surprising that this branch has not been harmed. The Tall Banyan is on the west bank of the Jinbao River. There is an ancient ferry crossing under the tree, called "Rongyin Gudu.” One scene of the film "Ms. Liu San Jie" was photographed here.
