The most famous thing in Tanzhe Temple is the two thousand-year-old ginkgo trees. I went to Tanzhe Temple at the end of October. It happened to be when the ginkgo leaves turned yellow, and it was very beautiful. It may be a week earlier, and it will be more shocking if you go a week later. It is still worth visiting here.

I specially chose the time when the ginkgo trees in Tanzhe Temple are in full bloom. The thousand-year-old ginkgo is well-deserved. Under the sunlight, the golden ginkgo leaves are as bright as gold and extremely dazzling. They are the most loyal guardians of Tanzhe Temple. They have silently guarded the temple for thousands of years, and they have blessed the pilgrims who come to offer incense and worship year after year. The temple is simple and quiet, and you can climb to the top of the hill at the back, overlooking the whole temple, with a good view. The red, green, yellow and orange leaves complement each other with the temple buildings, providing good shooting materials for photographers, and also attracting tourists to stop and take pictures. Whether it is worshiping Buddha or taking a leisurely tour, it is worth a visit.
