Not far from Chunguang Village is Bancheng Village. There are many ancient paths around the village. Along the bank, there are twelve ancient red banyan trees and a big elm tree over 500 years old. Complementing each other with the gurgling water, they are in perfect harmony. The ancient banyans are verdant and the scenery is pleasant, forming the unique beautiful scenery by the Dazhang River – “Rongshuiyao”. The villagers here have made a living as boatmen for generations and also maintain the habit of living along the bank. However, the Dazhang River often floods and the embankments are often washed away. So the villagers thought of planting banyan trees and using their developed root systems to strengthen the embankments. Moreover, the boats of the boatmen can also be tied to the banyan trees. Thus, for hundreds of years, the ancient banyans have been preserved. Under the banyan trees is a quiet place for enjoying the scenery. Sitting here and making a pot of tea and chatting with family is excellent. You can also take a small boat and cruise slowly along the river. Looking at the green mountains and white clouds on both sides, taking a deep breath, and the fresh air fills the lungs. The whole person is extremely comfortable. The gurgling water flows over the fish-scale dam and forms the magnificent fish-scale waterfall. Pedestrians can walk through it. It is a natural paradise for parent-child interaction.
