Kowloon Banyan Tree Introduction
The Jiu Long Banyan Tree is located under the Zhuoshui River embankment in Tian Tou Village, Zhu Tang Township, Changhua County. Nurtured by Taiwan's mother river, the Zhuoshui River, a small banyan tree took root and grew here. After a century, it became the widest single tree in Taiwan, with a canopy area covering over 3,000 ping, creating a typical "forest of one tree." Due to its thick and tangled roots, large aerial roots extend from the trunk like dragon claws, flourishing in all directions, resembling a dragon soaring to the heavens, hence the name "Jiu Long." Before the construction of the Xiluo Bridge, it served as a landmark for villagers crossing the river to gather supplies. Beneath the tree, a seat for the Three Saints Buddha has been established by the public for worship, where prayers are believed to be answered.
