Daluo One-Tree Forest
独树成林
A banyan in Daluo Town whose aerial roots reach the ground and grow into a 'forest'. It is a representative marvel of 'one tree making a forest' in tropical rainforest.
Daluo One-Tree Forest is near Daluo Town, Menghai County. It is a Chinese banyan (Ficus altissima) about 900 years old. Aerial roots hang from its trunk, take root in the soil and form more than thirty supporting pillars, and its wide canopy creates the spectacle of one tree forming a forest. The tree also reflects strangling and buttress-root phenomena typical of Xishuangbanna's tropical rainforest. The site is small, and a visit takes about half an hour. Admission varies, so check on site. It is usually scheduled on the same day as Mengjinglai, about 110 km from Jinghong.
