Live: An aerial view of China's Fuzhou, the City of the Banyan Tree
Nestled in southeast China's Fujian Province, Fuzhou, the capital, bears the endearing nickname "Rongcheng," which translates to "The City of the Banyan Tree." This moniker traces its roots back nearly nine centuries to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). During that time, the city grappled with frequent flooding and oppressive summer heat, prompting the forward-thinking local governor, Zhang Boyu, to take action. Driven by a vision of creating a more hospitable environment for the citizens, he championed the idea that "the city should be verdant, and no parasols should be needed in summer." To realize this goal, he implemented policies encouraging every family to plant the resilient banyan tree. Through this concerted effort, Fuzhou earned its renown as "The City of the Banyan Tree." Join CGTN on a journey to explore the rich tapestry of this captivating city.
