Kowloon Big Banyan Tree Introduction
The Ju Lung Banyan Tree is located under the dyke of Zhuoshui River in Tientou Village, Zhuzhang Township, Changhua County. Nurtured by Taiwan's Mother River - the Zhuoshui River, a small banyan tree took root and grew here. A hundred years later, it became the widest single tree in Taiwan, with a crown coverage area of over 3,000 ping, forming a typical "forest of a single tree." Due to its branches and roots intertwining, the thick aerial roots extend from the trunk like dragon claws, thriving in all directions, resembling a dragon soaring into the sky, hence the name "Ju Lung." Before the construction of Xiluo Bridge, it served as a landmark for villagers to cross the river to procure daily necessities. Under the tree, there is also an altar dedicated to the Three Saints for worship by believers, who say their wishes are always fulfilled.
