A hundred-old banyan tree

At Toucheng Farm, a tree grew to a hundred years! Before you and I were born, a bird from a distant land dropped a seed of a ficus benjamina (its scientific name), at Toucheng Farm area.

Banyan trees (Ficus) could grow up to a 30- meter tall tree, naturally. Their seeds are a favorite meal for many birds. They have glossy green leaves and drooping branches.

It grows strong and mighty near the vegetable patches. Look at its roots, it could arouse in you so many questions to ask, many imaginations to consider and many stories to tell.

Which bird dropped it here? How many typhoons, wind or rains has passed through its leaves and branches? How many people have talked about him asking different questions? I love to follow and count the roots growing around it!

Walking around the Farm, one can not only relax your body and soul, but learn about the different creatures living with us. Why not spend a day and take this opportunity?

It is near Taipei, less than an hour drive. But the benefits you get is worthwhile!

Try it, you;ll never regret!
