Big Banyan Tree

Big Banyan Tree is 6 km from the County of Yangshuo, 300 metres away from our hotel Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Villa, it has survived from wind and rain over centuries since the Sui Dynasty (581-618), one of the main scenic attractions of Yangshuo Guilin. This tree is 7 meters (about 23 feet) in width and 17 meters (about 55.8 feet) in height has experienced extensive growth over the years. Although its stem is very old and its roots twist, its branches and leaves stretch out so lushly that the sunshine hardly penetrates its shadow. Sitting in its shadow on even the hottest day of the summer, you barely break out in a sweat. It is under this tree that the Liusan Jie declared her admiration to her lover The A'niu. So this tree is one symbol of love as well, attracting many lovers come here to make wishes. As the old people told , for the couple, who make wishes here will get their dreams come ture, and for the single, who takes a photo with this tree will find his sweetheart soon.
