Shu Yue and other tourists were across the stream, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the banyan tree in front of them.

They could not see the whole of the banyan tree with their vision, but they could see branches stretching out from the thick coiled trunk and extending in all directions, sweeping the sky.

The lush canopy of trees shades the sun, like a giant umbrella that covers the sky and spreads at the top, and the eye can not see the edge; And the most terrifying thing is, of course, the countless aerial roots that are rooted in the ground.

Like a labyrinth, thousands of ravines, such as swimming dragons and pythons, walk under the trees, forming countless supports on the ground to support the huge canopy.

Some aerial roots can even reach up to 20 centimeters in diameter, digging deep into the ground, absorbing nutrients, and giving birth to new aerial roots, which would be thought to be a new banyan tree if not connected to the top.

And there are many, too many such aerial roots.

As far as the eye can see, there are many 'trees' of different thicknesses, and the newly grown clusters of aerial roots hang on the branches, interconnected and finely intertwined, forming a lush banyan forest covering an area of 700 square meters.

The tourists gathered around couldn't help but grow their mouths, and the exclamations came and went.

"Oh my God, this is a banyan tree?"

"Yes, look at the air roots below, I'll go, it's so thick and big."

"Shocked, is this a forest of trees? A whole forest. ”

"What do you mean... One? How big is one tree?! ”

"! Just kidding, right? ”

"Such a big island is a banyan tree??"

"If you look closely, the top is all connected."

"There is an introduction board here, which says, landscape: a single tree, a high mountain banyan, more than 400 years old......"

"Oh my god, it's an eye-opener."

The surrounding discussions brought Shu Yue and Fang Zhenghao back to their senses, and the two looked at each other with shocked expressions.

This forest is really... A banyan tree?

I have long heard the legend of the banyan tree forming a forest alone, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.

However, when I actually saw it today, I felt unbelievable.

It's too big!

Shu Yue tilted her head to the trunk and dense branches of the vines, and then continued to tilt her head, stretching her neck to look at the huge canopy of the tree that was five stories tall and the aerial roots all over it.

Even from a distance of several meters, it is impossible to see it in its entirety.

It's like standing in front of a dense forest, and you can't see the end of the forest anyway.

What's more, it is a forest made of large trees, and the height and crown of the trees are astonishing enough to expand infinitely in all directions.

They came to the signboard with a shock in their hearts, and there were already many tourists around them.

The introductory board is written in great detail.

There is not only a brief introduction to the alpine banyan, but also the rescue process after being hit hard as an ancient tree.

"Damn, I was struck by lightning and almost killed!"

！！！

When they saw the text of the signboard, everyone was in an uproar.

No one would have thought that the banyan tree in front of them, which covers the sky and the sun and becomes an island alone, will be the one with a charred black trunk in the photo, split in half from the middle.

How is this possible?

Can a tree that has been struck half dead by lightning come back to life?

At this time, the high mountain banyan is no longer the miserable appearance it used to be. ()

After 4 months of irrigation with the plant nutrient solution, its main trunk, which was split in half, gradually formed two thick branches on the left and right, and only the inner side could still be seen with blackened marks.

The branches grew again, the aerial roots dug deep into the ground, and continued to grow larger and thicker, and even the newly grown parts were more lush than before, stretching out to a range of more than ten liters like a giant python, blocking the sunlight of the dome.

However, due to the heavy damage, there were many broken branches, and the area was reduced from more than 700 square meters to more than 600 square meters.

But in the eyes of tourists, it is still an indescribably large banyan forest, and the visual effect is shocking.

Especially after learning that he was struck by lightning, he felt more and more incredible.

"This banyan tree has become a fine, and it won't die if it's split like this!"

"It's so godly."

"Ancient trees have spirits, and they should not be killed."

"The peach god tree is also a dead tree in spring, and it has a lot of peaches this year!"

"I think it's a good location in Huajianji, with mountains and rivers, and a rare feng shui treasure."

"That's right, every time I come here, I feel relaxed, and even the quality of sleep has improved."

Shu Yue and Fang Zhenghao came to Huajian for the first time, and naturally it was the first time they heard of this kind of remarks.

However, they have always believed in science, and they actually feel that there is some truth.

The Flower Fair is indeed relaxing, breathing in the fresh air, looking at the verdant eyes, coupled with the continuous novelty, people unconsciously immerse themselves in it and feel happy.

And the banyan tree in front of him makes it impossible for people to connect with the state of being struck by lightning at all.

Shu Yue looked at the photo, then looked back at the huge banyan tree with lush foliage, and couldn't help but sigh: This is a miracle.

……

Walking along Banyan Island for half a circle, what you see along the way is still the upright coarse atmospheric roots and the branches and leaves of the middle and lower layers, the gap like the 'door' is like a labyrinth, under the layers of obscuration, the light is dim, and the main trunk inside is not clear.

They took several photographs of the alpine banyan, each with a different angle and a different composition of aerial roots and branches.

Like a puzzle, maybe a few l or ten pieces can be put together to get the full picture of this alpine banyan.

The roar of the waterfall in front of it became more and more intense, and the stream became more turbulent, and when it came to the front, the waterfall tumbling down from a height of more than ten l meters was magnificent, like a horse galloping, and fell into the pool and splashed high.

The paved stones were wet and fell into the wide stream along the slope.

The white mist fills the surroundings, and the ferns and shrubs around the island are stained with fine droplets of water, and the moss crawls all over the stones, so that its surface is wrapped in a layer of grass green, and large pieces are scattered around, exuding a quaint and humid atmosphere.

The waterfall-like scene of the jungle is magnificent.

Due to the splashing and rumbling sound of the falls, some visitors hesitate to step forward, while others walk briskly, bypassing the stone walls behind the falls to the tropical plant exhibit on the other side.

Shu Yue and the two watched the splash of the waterfall, found the right time to rush over, and entered the cave behind amid the laughter of the tourists.

After wiping the water droplets that had accidentally splashed, the two looked at each other and smiled.

This kind of arrangement is very exciting, and the experience is full.

Looking at the waterfall from behind, the kind of cascading waterfall

The feeling of rushing became clearer and clearer, and several streams of water fell straight down, so fast and fast that you could hear a buzzing sound when you covered your ears.

The inside of the cave is unusually wet, and the stone walls are dripping from time to time, and vines and moss crawl all around, and the feeling of coolness arises spontaneously.

They left through the exit on the left and came to the other side of Banyan Island.

Covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, Banyan Island is separated from a wide stream, and it is so huge no matter which direction you look at.

Walking around it, everyone must have a new understanding of the idiom 'a forest from a single tree'.

*

Shu Yue and the two came halfway to the new scenic spot according to the signs, a tropical plant area with iconic tree species.

Towering trees rise up into the clouds, their trunks so thick that they can't be wrapped around two arms, and their huge roots are exposed to the outside, which is extraordinary at first sight.

Visitors standing at the base of the tree need to tilt their heads at 180 degrees to barely see the topmost canopy among the intertwined branches.

Those ordinary trees and tall tropical plants are nothing compared to these towering trees in front of you.

Shu Yue struggled to raise her head, feeling as if she was standing at the bottom of a pagoda looking at a ten-story pagoda.

The top of the tower shimmered in the sunlight, and not only could it not be seen clearly, but it would make your eyes watery after a long time.

Due to the angle, the trunk of the tree with a diameter of more than one meter becomes sharper and sharper the higher it goes, and the crown of the tree can only see the stretched branches and leaves, and there is no sense of hierarchy of high and low.

"It's so high."

"My neck is sore when I see it."

"No, no, no, I've been dazzled for a long time."

"What tree is so tall?"

"Tree of Heaven." Shu Yue saw the introduction sign and read softly: "Also known as the Optimus Tree, an iconic species of the tropical rainforest, and a national first-class protected plant."

It is the tallest tree in our country, and can grow up to 60-80 meters. ”

... 60-80 meters?

the groove.

Isn't that taller than 20 floors?

The ginkgo tree in the 'Tree of Life', which is more than 6,000 years old, is only 50 meters tall, while the Wangtian tree can grow to 80 meters!

Once again, everyone refreshed their cognition.

No wonder it's called the Heavenly Tree.

Fang Zhenghao looked at the sign, he had never heard of the name of the Wangtian Tree before.

It is an iconic tree of the rainforest, but it does not exist in any of the botanical gardens' pavilions, and it is not introduced.

He'd been there a few times and still didn't know anything.

It was an eye-opener to come to the flower market this time.

Not only did he reacquaint himself with the tropical rainforest, but he also understood what a real tropical rainforest is.

Seeing the words [national first-class wild protected plants], Fang Zhenghao suddenly felt that this tree was extremely precious and did not dare to step forward.

Such rare and endangered trees can also be seen here, and the flower collection is really amazing.

Isn't it a private botanical garden?

Isn't this much better than other 4A botanical gardens?

It has everything that others don't have, and there are too many surprises along the way.

When others were talking, Shu Yue looked at the big bangen in front of her, like a wall blocking her eyes, and asked her boyfriend: "Brother Hao, have you ever seen this?" Is it the root of the Lookout Tree? ”

She looked around and noticed that another big tree called Qingmei also had it.

&nb

sp; But in more than twenty years, she had never seen a tree with such huge roots exposed.

"This ......" Fang Zhenghao shook his head, of course he hadn't seen it before.

Since I came to this pavilion, I haven't seen too many things.

"There should be an introduction, I'll look for it."

"There it is! Look here," Fang Zhenghao: "The big plate root, a unique phenomenon of the tropical rainforest, plays the role of support and root respiration. ”

Grow knowledge.

Further on, all around are big trees that cover the sky and the sun, such as the sky-looking tree, the green plum, the slope barrier, the narrow-leaved slope barrier, and the blood sealing the throat...... Each of them was more than 20 meters, and even as high as 30 meters, and it hurt to raise their heads and necks.

Large slab roots lie on both sides of the road, and the flanks stretch out, as if the plants also have their own demarcated territory, firmly occupying this space.

Other tropical plants, such as ferns and plantains, can only take root on the periphery, absorbing the sunlight scattered between the branches of each other's trees.

The sense of hierarchy is obvious and the distribution is dense.

Along the way, the introduction board is marked with either a national first-class protected plant, or a national second- or third-class protected plant.

In order to create a pristine landscape, the trees must not be fenced.

Everyone looked at the big slab that almost blocked in front of them at the turn: ......

They need to be careful not to touch it.

Next, Shu Yue and others saw a four-number tree entwined by a banyan tree, and its unique shape attracted the attention of a group of tourists.

"This is a banyan tree, right?"

"Well-developed aerial roots, banyan trees are undoubted."

"No, it's aerial roots outside, and there's a big tree inside!"

“... What do you mean? ”

"These are two trees?!"

"Yes. I've seen the strategy, it seems to be called, strangled! The strangulation of the banyan tree! ”

Strangulation.

As soon as this word came out, many tourists suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

At this time, if you look at this tree again, no, it is two trees, and you can notice the strangeness.

The thick aerial roots of the ficus sinensis wrapped around the large tree inside, coiling upwards like vines, covering the bark of the middle and lower parts, forming holes, and a few roots climb up the branches, trying to snatch the sun from higher places.

And on the ground, the two largest aerial roots even form a meter-high plate root, which firmly supports itself, greedily obtaining nutrients and maintaining the nutrients needed for strangulation.

Fang Zhenghao got goosebumps when he saw it.

I don't know why, but it always feels a little oozing.

Strangulation.

The aerial roots of the banyan tree tightly choke the neck, and a little bit of strangulation.

Hiss, looking at the dense and unventilated vines that entwined the big tree, I have to say that the description is very apt.

Originally, I thought that animals had bloody battles, but it turned out that plants also had them.

The introductory board next to it is dedicated to this phenomenon - the strangulation of banyan trees.

It is also a phenomenon unique to tropical rainforests, which shows how fierce the competition in rainforests is.

"The plants in the rainforest are scary." Some girls said so.

There is grass in front that grows as tall as a tree (traveler's banana

), after which a tree occupies the entire island of the alpine banyan; It is expected that the towering giant trees such as the Heavenly Tree will have the strangling banyan that takes the life of the big tree in front of them.

There were also terrible vines, and she saw one that was several l ten meters long, as thick as her wrist, and covered with green moss, coiled in the trees like pythons, ahhhhhhh

When she first saw it, she was so frightened that she almost screamed.

I knew I should come with my friends.

Who would have thought that an exhibition greenhouse could bring a rainforest to such life?

But I have to say that it is very exciting, and it is worth the trip.

*

Coming out of the tropical plant area, Shu Yue and the two went to the flower and fruit area to see the tropical plants that bear fruit such as jackfruit, lemon, concubine laughing lychee, papaya, longan tree, guava, and Garbo fruit tree.

Then I went to the plank road on the second floor.

The plank road is much larger than they thought, at an altitude of 5 meters, around the hemispherical building, which is expected to be more than 200 meters.

Like a large concert, the seats are packed in a circle, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

In the middle of the boardwalk, a cross-shaped bridge crosses in mid-air, and the center passes through the inside of the banyan tree, with a canopy of more than 10 meters higher, allowing a close look at the aerial roots and branches that are scattered all over the place.

Walking on the wooden plank road, you can see the waterfall splashing in mid-air, the stream below, the shrubs, and the rocks, all the scenery is in full view, and the view is broad.

Sure enough, as soon as they came up, the two of them said 'wow', the scene here is completely different from the first floor.

The drooping vines pass through the boardwalk like a swing one meter below, the direction of the stream is clearly visible, and the long petioles of the traveler's banana are not far away, and when you look up, you can see the fan-shaped leaves, as if you can reach them.

You can also see moss growing on the trunks of trees, vertical and horizontal branches, and so on.

Shu Yue is a little afraid of heights, especially afraid of walking on the shaking wooden bridge or glass plank road, fortunately, the plank road between the flowers is only for viewing, and there is no superfluous design.

The wooden bridge underfoot looks very quaint, but it is so strong that visitors can walk back and forth on it without even feeling the shaking.

The guardrails on both sides are very high, 1.2 meters, which is very safe, and you can pass freely without handrails.

This allows people to relax and enjoy the view, rather than being nervous about their own safety.

Shu Yue and her boyfriend walked along the handrail and looked down, and the height of tropical plants such as monstera, millennium wood, anchovies, and palmettos was less than 5 meters, just enough to see the top of the plants.

The distribution of low ferns, shrubs, and plants of the Araceae family is unobstructed, with streams gurgling by, stones dyed with moss, dense vegetation on the shores, and tropical plants spreading huge leaves, which are layered and lush.

It's beautiful.

She couldn't help but take a few photos.

This is the lower layer of the rainforest.

And they are walking through the middle of the rainforest, full of novelty.

The palm tree is 7-8 meters high, and the edge of the clustered leaves falls just above the boardwalk, less than a meter above the head, like an umbrella made of plants.

Seeing Shu Yue just standing below, Fang Zhenghao held his mobile phone and took a few photos, with a unique perspective.

Shu Yue came to the handrail on the other side and saw a thick layer of green attached to the trunk of the arbor not far away, which looked simple and vicissitudes.

There are also a few l bends hanging from above

The vines, like ropes for monkeys to climb, can't help but sigh again at the pristine environment.

Then she saw the branch next to it and was pleasantly surprised: "There are really plants growing on the branches!" ”

And there was more than one, there was a row, like clusters of green flowers.

Oh, my God.

The two of them looked at the guardrail, and this time the perspective was particularly clear, because they were very close.

Unexpectedly, some of these epiphytes are actually very large, such as the bird's nest fern above, a cluster of more than a dozen l leaves stretches out in the shape of a funnel, and the length of the leaves is more than 50 cm, which is a big bush.

Shu Yue stood on tiptoe and saw that there were some fallen dead branches and leaves and a small amount of standing water inside, which, combined with its shape, did look like a bird's nest.

Epiphytes are not parasitic and do not harm large trees, but they need more sunlight to choose tall trees.

It can break down the litter and nutrients inside.

In addition to the large and small bird's nest ferns, there are also kidney ferns, stone wedges, air pineapples, and a small round fern the size of a fingernail, called the stone fern.

It's so cute that a small leaf can be attached to a big tree.

Shu Yue took more than a dozen photos of this branch with epiphytes.

It's just amazing.

There is a related introduction on the guardrail: one of the wonders of the rainforest - the hanging garden.

That is, the epiphytic phenomenon of mosses, lichens, orchids, bromeliads and ferns.

You can only see it in the rainforest.

Further on, they entered the interior of the alpine fig, navigating through aerial roots and stretched branches.

A one-of-a-kind experience.

The light here is blocked by the canopy of the trees on the upper level, but lights are installed on the guardrails to make it easier for them to get a better view.

The thick branches lay diagonally below them, above the left, or 3 meters above them, or 6 meters above, and when you look up, you can see several horizontal trunks, as well as more than a dozen aerial roots scattered around them and connected to the ground, supporting the entire branch like a pillar.

The exclamations of tourists are incessant, and they keep looking around, as if they have discovered a new continent.

After all, no one has ever gone so deep into the interior of a huge banyan tree, and no one has ever seen such a spectacular scene.

It's like building an irregular scaffolding, with aerial roots of varying thicknesses growing out at every passing distance, connecting with branches that stretch in all directions, like a labyrinth.

Shu Yue touched a grown aerial root, very hard, completely different from those soft rattans, more like a tree trunk.

They are very supportive and will not move even when strong winds blow.

The fact that the alpine banyan can grow so large is inseparable from the role of aerial roots.

Shu Yue and Fang Zhenghao finally saw the trunk of the banyan tree.

It is two thick tree trunks that are more than 30 centimeters thick and separated at a 60-degree angle, 15 meters high, and the crack in the center is more than 6 meters.

The aerial roots on both sides hold the huge trunk steadily, and the roots are thick and powerful, and several roots gradually grow together, becoming larger and thicker, falling to the ground like a waterfall of trees, deeply rooted in the soil.

The trunk and branches form a supporting triangular slab root, firmly grasping the ground, and supporting this 700-square-meter behemoth step by step.

Its canopy was still impossibly large, its body was still steady, and its branches were still strong, as if the catastrophe had not hurt it in the slightest.

It's a miracle of life.

And how lucky she was to see this miracle.

Shu Yue's mood was a little excited, and she patted and patted at this alpine banyan.

I don't know if she can put the pieces of the puzzle that belong to the other party together perfectly.!
