The Banyan King of Fuzhou

The Banyan King (ficus microcarpa, 细叶榕) in Fuzhou National Forest Park. Seeing it was one of the highlights of summer travels in Fujian province. This tree is said to have been planted 900 years ago in the Song Dynasty and its coronal has grown to cover over 1300 square meters. I hope it will still be there 900 years from today.
