Single Banyan Tree Forest
独树成林
A single old banyan tree whose aerial roots have taken root and turned into trunks, forming a 'forest' of its own. It is a wonder of the Dai countryside outside Ruili.
Single Banyan Tree Forest lies roadside about 12 km northeast of Ruili's urban area. It is a large banyan tree several hundred years old. Its aerial roots hang down from the branches, and when they reach the ground they grow into new trunks, so the single tree looks like a small forest, with a very broad canopy. The local Dai people regard the big banyan as a sacred tree. Admission prices should be confirmed on site. A visit takes about half an hour, and it is a convenient stop on the way to Moli Rainforest.
