Kowloon Banyan Tree Introduction
The Kòng Liong Banyan Tree is located under the dike of the Zhuoshui River in TianTou Village, Zhutang Township, Changhua County. Nurtured by Taiwan's mother river, the Zhuoshui River, a small banyan tree took root and grew here. After a hundred years, it became the "widest" tree in Taiwan, with a crown coverage area of over 3,000 ping, forming a typical "forest of one tree." Due to its intricate branches and roots, the thick aerial roots spread around the trunk like dragon claws, resembling a dragon soaring to the heavens, thus named "Kòng Liong." Before the construction of the Xiluo Bridge, it served as a landmark for villagers crossing the river to fetch daily supplies. Beneath the tree, a seat for the Three Saints Buddha has been established for worship by believers, who find their wishes answered.
