The 13-year-old banyan king was discovered in Sanjiang, Guangxi, with a crown area of 2.3 mu, and it took 1 people to hug.

As soon as I entered the ancient banyan scenic spot in Chankou, I saw a huge banyan tree dating back to 13 years. As the largest sacred tree of the Dong king in Liuzhou, it is a place where Dong people pray for money and make wishes on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The superstitious good men and women rushed to take a group photo as a souvenir.

the ancient banyan tree of chankou is located in chankou village, liangkou township, Sanjiang county, 321 national highway, 3 kilometers away from the county seat. The ancient banyan tree has a history of more than 1 years. It is the oldest and largest banyan tree ever discovered in Liuzhou, and it has been included in the book The Best of Liuzhou. It is known as the king of trees and the sacred tree in Guangxi.

The ancient banyan tree is 25 meters high, with 15 branches radiating around. The crown covers an area of more than 2.3 mu, and the tree diameter needs more than 1 adults to embrace. Although it has gone through thousands of years, the ancient banyan tree is still flourishing.

The local people regard it as the "tree god" who protects the village. Every big and small festivals and major events, people in Chankou Village and the surrounding stockade go to the bottom of the banyan tree to burn incense for blessings, hang red ribbons on the "tree god" and pray for peace, luck, wishful thinking and happiness every year.

after thousands of years, the ancient banyan king still stands proudly on the banks of Rongjiang River, with charming scenery by mountains and waters, which has been praised by many tourists. Looking at the banks of the Rongjiang River, green mountains and green waters are integrated into one, with peaks, rocks, forests, bamboo and water in one domain, and villages, buildings, bridges, pavilions and humanities in one. In an instant, it seems that the troubles in the world have been forgotten.

the Dongzhai village in Shankou is close to the mountain and the water, and the spatial layout of the architectural group combination follows the balance, symmetry and harmony, which has the aesthetic feeling of neat, perfect, simple, natural, stable and standardized architectural plastic arts. The village is a unique and beautiful wooden house with hanging feet, and there is such a family in the mountains and green fields.

It is another kind of artistic conception to swim slowly in the Sanjiangkou by boat from the pier. Slowly passing under the pier is the Rongjiang River, which is one of the three rivers named after Sanjiang. It flows through the Shimen of the production port, down to the old fort and meets the Xunjiang River, forming the Rongjiang River. Here, birds and flowers are fragrant, the mountains and rivers are picturesque, and it has the reputation of "three rivers flow out of the green hills".

Under the ancient banyan tree, beside the Rongjiang River, time seems to have always favored Sanjiang, a small Dong town with stories. Even with the passage of time, the folk customs and food culture of the Dong family have continued to this day. Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, like a beautiful woman, has become the target of Chinese and foreign photographers.

when the sun shines on the green forest on the other side, the colors on both sides of the river are bright and dark, the sky clouds are reflected on the clear water, and the reflections of Xunjiang Bridge and High-speed Railway Bridge in Silikou are clearly visible. The scenery here is unique, and a refreshing landscape painting will be presented every day!
