Jiu Long Giant Banyan Tree Introduction
The Jiu Long Public Banyan Tree is located in Tian Tou Village, Zhu Tang Township, Changhua County, underneath the banks of the Zhuoshui River, known as the mother river of Taiwan. Nurtured by the Zhuoshui River, a small banyan tree took root and grew, becoming the widest single tree in Taiwan after a hundred years, with a crown coverage area of over 3,000 ping. It has become a typical "forest of solitary trees." Due to its intricate branches and roots, 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 "Jiu Long" (Nine Dragons). Before the construction of the Xiluo Bridge, it served as a landmark for villagers to cross the river to collect daily necessities. A seat for the three saints has also been established beneath the tree for worship by locals, and it is believed that requests will be answered.
