I have heard about the Ginkgo biloba in Manjushri Temple a long time ago, and I have seen photos on the Internet. The dense branches and leaves are like being dyed by the sunset, showing an unimaginable golden color. The dazzling texture has made me fascinated for a long time.

After some thought, I decided to go. This fall itself is short, and I don't want to have any more regrets for myself.

The car drove through the noisy urban area, passed the speeding high-speed, and passed the circling mountain road, and finally came to the foot of the temple. I was surprised that there were so many tourists in the temple in the mountain, and the bustling crowd in front of the door seemed to come to the Shaolin Temple in an instant.

Manjusri Monastery has been unknown for a long time. It is an ancient temple for more than 600 years. There are no valuable cultural relics in the mountains, no pagodas and ancient buildings, but there are the oldest ginkgo trees in Henan. Coinciding with the explosion of the short video industry, it gave Wenshu Temple an opportunity to become famous. Almost overnight, this ancient temple became famous throughout the province, and countless people came here just to witness the face of the thousand-year-old ginkgo.

There are 5 ginkgo trees in the temple, which are divided into three females and two males. They are extremely dense and majestic. It should be the thickest ginkgo I have ever seen. According to research by experts, these five ginkgo trees have a history of 2,800 years and are the oldest ginkgo trees in Henan .

That is to say, these five ginkgo trees were earlier than the time when the temple was established. It is inferred that the planting period should be in the Zhou Dynasty or the Spring and Autumn Period. As for who planted them and why, I have not figured out.

I stared at the ginkgo trees in front of me. They were indeed magnificent. The whole body was golden without any variegation. The thick branches seemed to hold up a large golden umbrella. The five ginkgo trees complemented each other to form a golden ginkgo forest. This is definitely the most beautiful ginkgo forest in Henan . The quietness of the deep mountains and the elegance of the ancient temple give it a different temperament. The longer you look at it, the more charming you will feel.

The largest of the ginkgo trees has a crown of 43 meters and a circumference of nearly 7 meters. It takes a few adults to hold hands to embrace it. The world tree king is worthy of the name. It is estimated that most tourists are like me. When they saw such a beautiful ginkgo tree for the first time, they picked up their cameras or mobile phones to take pictures, and some beautiful women came to live broadcast. The thousand-year-old ginkgo forest has become a lively place.

I want to praise Manjusri Temple here. In such a "hot" season, the temple still does not accept tickets, but is open to the public for free . This kind of mind is admirable. Not only that, it is also free to offer incense at the Manjusri Temple, and there will be free incense beside the incense burner. If you come at noon, you can also taste the vegetarian vegetarian food in the temple, which is also free and open , which is almost the same in Henan. Only one.

Morning bells and evening drums, ginkgo fragrance. Everything in Manjusri Monastery is so fairy tale, as if it is a clean place away from the world, and the quiet bells give people a sense of peace.
