The most beautiful ginkgo tree in Henan is hidden in an ancient temple in the deep mountains. Free vegetarian food is provided without tickets

I heard about the ginkgo in Wenshu Temple a long time ago. I saw photos on the Internet. The dense branches and leaves seemed to be dyed by the setting sun, showing an unimaginable golden color. The dazzling texture made me fascinated for a long time.

After some thought, I decided to go. This autumn itself is very short, and I don't want to leave any regrets for myself.

The car drove through the noisy urban area, the speeding high speed, and the winding mountain road, and finally came to the foot of the temple. I was surprised that there are so many tourists in the temple in the mountain. The bustling crowd in front of the gate seems to have come to Shaolin Temple in an instant.

Wenshu Temple has been unknown for a long time. This is an ancient temple of more than 600 years. There are no precious cultural relics, pagodas or ancient buildings in the mountains, but there are the oldest ginkgo trees in Henan. It coincided with the explosion of the short video industry, which gave Wenshu Temple an opportunity to become famous. Almost overnight, this ancient temple became well-known throughout the province, and countless people flocked here just to witness the appearance 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. They should be the thickest ginkgo trees I have ever seen. According to experts' research, these five ginkgo trees have a history of 2,800 years. They are the oldest ginkgo trees in Henan and are known as "the king of trees in the world" .

In other words, these five ginkgo trees were established earlier than the temple. It is inferred that the planting period should be in the Zhou Dynasty or the Spring and Autumn Period. As for who planted it and why, it is no longer clear.

I stared at the ginkgo trees in front of me, they were really magnificent, golden yellow, without any variegated color, and the thick branches seemed to support a big golden umbrella. Five ginkgo trees complement each other, forming 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 endow it with a different temperament. The longer you look at it, the more charming you feel.

The largest ginkgo tree has a canopy as high as 43 meters and a tree circumference of nearly 7 meters. It takes several adults to hold hands to surround it. It is worthy of the name of the world tree king. It is estimated that most tourists are the same as me. It is the first time to see such a beautiful ginkgo tree, and they have picked up cameras or mobile phones to take pictures non-stop. There are also beauties who come to broadcast live. The millennium ginkgo forest has become a lively place.

Here I want to praise Wenshu Temple. In such a "hot" season, the temple still does not charge tickets, but is open to the public for free . This kind of mind is admirable. Not only that, but offering incense in Wenshu Temple is also free, and there will be free incense offerings next to 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 Wenshu Temple is so fairy tale, as if it is a clean place away from the world, the quiet bells make people feel peaceful.
