Located in the south of Yangshuo County, the Large banyan is a scenic spot along the ten-mile natural gallery trail. It is a 1,500-year-old tree. It is said that the tree was planted in the Sui dynasty, making it the same age of Yangshuo County. Local residents call it the "God Tree," and people often pray and light incense under the tree. The crown of the Darongshu banyan tree is rounded. From a distance it looks like a giant green umbrella. Up close, its entwined roots and luxuriant foliage can be seen. In the film "Liu Sanjie," Liu Sanjie and A-Niu are seen courting under a banyan tree. The scene was filmed here.
