Yangshuo Big Banyan Tree Scenic Spot(chinese: 阳朔大榕树景区, pinyin: Yángshuò dàróngshù jǐngqū) is famous for its large towering tree survived since the Sui Dynasty (581-618). It is also known because the Chinese film "The Third Sister Liu", a beautiful love story, was partly shot here, adding to the romance of the tree.

This tree, 7 meters (about 23 feet) wide and 17 meters (about 55.8 feet) tall, has grown considerably over the 14 centuries and covers an area of 1000 square meters. When we look closely we see that it has beautifully twisted roots and gnarled branches. Its crown is round with an exuberant growth of branches and leaves. Due to its age, the tree's roots are twisted but its sprawling branches and dense leaves create a shade allows little sunshine through. It provides cool shade for many during the hot summer days. This is where The Third Sister Liu declared her undying love for her lover The A'niu in the famous film.

The Big Banyan Tree is located 7.5km from Yangshuo, on the bank of the river, south of this tree is Moon Hill where a quaint little village resides. Here, you can stay and experience true village life in China without any stress of city hustle and bustle. It lies under a soft layer of haze offering a hidden, tranquil wonderland filled with rice terraces and flowing brooks.
