Autumn is a colorful and colorful season, and golden yellow must be one of the most impressive colors when it comes to this season. The ginkgo leaves that come with the autumn wind and frost every year constitute a beautiful autumn picture. No, recently, the thousand-year-old ginkgo from the Ancient Guanyin Temple in Chang 'an District in Xi'an has become popular throughout the Internet. You can see it when you open a circle of friends, Weibo or any other information platform.

Ancient Guanyin Temple is one of the thousand-year-old temples in Zhongnan Mountain. It has a history of about 1400 years. The ancient ginkgo trees in the temple are witnesses of its thousands of years of ups and downs. It is rumored that this ginkgo tree was personally planted by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, when the Zen Temple was first built. After more than a thousand years, it is now covered with "golden armor" every late autumn, and the leaves of the tree are all turned yellow, and the tall crown is beautiful from afar, which is very shocking. The falling leaves covered the entire courtyard, like a golden carpet. Looking from afar, the whole body is golden from top to bottom, full of royal style. This ancient tree that came from the long river of history seems to silently tell the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago.

Such a beautiful scenery naturally attracts countless people. Last year, when the Double Eleven was celebrated, it became popular on overseas social platforms, attracting likes and retweets from many overseas netizens. This year, the ancient Guanyin Temple is also "hard to get a ticket". It is not easy to make an appointment to enter the temple and admire this amazing thousand-year ginkgo tree up close. When you open the appointment interface at one click, it is all "appointment full".

However, there is no need to worry that the winter that can't wait to wreak havoc on the earth will "destroy" the beautiful scenery of ginkgo. Although thousand-year-old ginkgo is rare, Xi'an is not the only place in the ancient Guanyin Temple.

According to statistics, there are more than a dozen ancient ginkgo trees over a thousand years old in and around Xi'an. Many of them were planted by celebrities and are older than the ginkgo tree in the ancient Guanyin Temple. For example, in Baita Temple at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there is an ancient ginkgo tree that is 1700 years old; in Louguantai, Zhouzhi County, there is a ginkgo tree that was said to have been planted by Lao Tzu, whose age is over 2600 years old; in Yuhuangmiao Township, Liuba County, Hanzhong City, there is an ginkgo tree hand-planted by King Wen of Zhou, which is 4000 years old, witnessing most of the development history of China; In Luyuan Temple in Lantian County, there is a ginkgo tree planted by Wang Wei. The tree is 1300 years old... Compared with the tree in the ancient Guanyin Temple, there are so many thousands of years old ginkgo trees that they have their own merits. If you can go and see them, it is also worth the golden autumn.

In addition, if you are not interested in thousand-year-old ginkgo trees and like the romance of treading on fallen leaves and strolling on trails in large ginkgo forests, there are also many options: Hanyang Mausoleum, Huancheng Park, Tang Daci 'en Temple, Duling Ruins Park, Xingqing Palace... can meet your needs. All in all,"Don't hang yourself from a tree." If you want to see the beautiful scenery of ginkgo, there are plenty of places. Don't just stare at the ancient Guanyin Temple!
