Banyan Tree Park in Yangshuo is famous because the Chinese film 'The Third Sister Liu'  ( Liu Sanjie ) was partly shot here. Thus a beautiful love story adds to the magic of this centuries-old tree.

Taking a bike while your Yangshuo tour on the way to countryside, about 3.7 miles away from the down town of Yangshuo County, you will see a prominent and towering tree: the Big Banyan Tree. It has survived wind and rain over centuries since it was planted during the Sui Dynasty (581-618). This tree, measuring 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 Third Sister Liu declared her admiration to her lover The A'niu.

At the south of the Big Banyan Tree is Moon Hill. A village under the hill offers you a chance to experience true village life free from metropolitan stresses and troubles. Under a mysterious layer of haze you will find tranquil scenery comprised of leveled rice terraces, crystal brooks.

Banyan Tree Park is a must for the Chinese travelers for their Yangshuo travel.
