Memories Under the Banyan Tree

We can easily find banyan trees that are over a century old in urban areas. Different stories happen under these trees every day – as if they are a part of the people’s lives and memories. Memories Under the Banyan Tree is a collection of the winning entries from the Memories Under the Banyan Tree Story Writing Competition, Our Banyan Tree Photo Competition and Moving Banyan Tree Bus Body Design Competition. Through the drawings, short stories and photographs, the book depicts the intimate relationship and stories between banyan trees and the people in Hong Kong. We hope to evoke feelings of affection towards the trees, and inspire people to care for and protect these precious resources of our planet.
