The King of Banyan Trees

　　Locals refer to banyan trees as "Da Qing Shu" (big green trees), and the Dai people even regard the majestic ancient banyans as sacred trees. Countless uniquely shaped banyan trees are spread across the entire Yingjiang Basin, adding to the stunning beauty of Yingjiang’s landscapes. Among them, the banyan tree located near Laodaolong Village at Tongbiguan in Yingjiang County stands particularly grand and imposing. Its canopy resembles a giant umbrella, casting dense shade that covers the sky and sun. The tree's crown spans 8 acres, reaches a height of 40 meters, and has 108 aerial roots extending into the ground. Visitors walking beneath the tree feel as if they are wandering through a primeval forest—an awe-inspiring sight. It is truly a "one-tree forest" and a marvel of nature.

　　The King of Banyan Trees is over 300 years old and is the largest banyan tree in China, revered as the "King of Banyan Trees of China."
