The Tree-Wrapped Pagoda: a bodhi tree grown right through a Qing pagoda

Mangshi town

A small pagoda from the Qing dynasty that a bodhi tree has swallowed over some 200 years, its roots gripping the brickwork. Combine it with the palm-lined road outside Puti Temple on a morning scooter ride.

What locals sayVisitors call it one of the most unexpected sights in town for something so small.
