▲ The "One Tree Forest" is a spectacular sight where a thousand-year-old banyan tree with lush foliage and unique shape has grown into an entire forest by itself. Nearly 40 aerial roots of varying thickness extend from its branches to the ground, taking root in the soil to form prop roots. These prop roots intertwine with the trunk, creating a dense jungle-like formation. The indistinguishable roots and stems present a marvelous spectacle, while the evergreen leaves of southern Yunnan stretch proudly toward the heavens. This ancient tree, standing majestically on the vast plains for millennia, displays its grandeur with a smile.
