Tongliang Ancient Banyan Tree Introduction
The Tongliang Ancient Banyan Tree is located in Tongliang Village, Baisha Township, Penghu County. It has stood in front of the local Baoan Temple for over 300 years, making it the oldest banyan tree on Penghu Main Island. Despite its age, the tree remains sturdy, with dense branches and foliage that expand in all directions, creating a significant natural shaded area for rest, witnessing the history of Penghu for 300 years and possessing rich cultural significance. Its extensive coverage and legendary background have made it one of the well-known "divine trees" in Taiwan, often referred to as "Tongliang Banyan, Chikan Temple." Upon entering the Baoan Temple, one can clearly see the natural shade formed by the branches of this ancient banyan tree. With the protection of this 300-year-old banyan, the Baoan Temple always enjoys a steady stream of visitors. The Tongliang Ancient Banyan also has many stone tablets carved by ancient people, mostly commemorating the tree's density and longevity. Such an old and flourishing banyan tree is very rare and needs to be actively preserved. When visiting the Tongliang Ancient Banyan at Baoan Temple, please remember to leave only memories and photos, and do not leave any traces on the great banyan tree! [Recommended stay time] 0.5 hours
