The Banyan Garden lies on the Guangfu campus of National Cheng Kung University. It was formally the parade field of the second infantry division of the Japanese army with twelve banyan trees. Among them, the century-old banyan tree has been the symbol of National Cheng Kung University, which was said to be planted by Prince Hirohito. In 1995, the Cathay United Bank has chosen the image of the giant banyan tree as its logo, along with the motto: "Grow with a deep-rooted foundation." Still standing today, the banyan tree resembles an amiable alumnus, watching the campus, greeting the freshmen, as well as seeing off the graduates. The Banyan Garden in a sun-shiny afternoon invtes students and visitors for a picnic or a romantic walk. The garden is also a popular site for taking wedding photos.
