The thousand-year-old ginkgo trees at Hongluo Temple have turned yellow, and they are simply stunning.

There is a saying among the people that "Nan Putuo in the south, Hongluo in the north". The ancient Hongluo Temple in the north of Beijing is well-known and is located in Huairou, Beijing. It is nestled in the mountains and rivers and hidden in the bamboo forest. In the golden autumn season, the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in Hongluo Temple are stunningly beautiful. If you missed the bougainvillea wall in spring and summer, you can't miss this ginkgo. There are two huge ginkgo trees in the temple, one male and one female, which can be described as a match made in heaven. They are lush and golden, looking at each other from a distance, and are called "husband and wife trees". The golden and brilliant leaves shine with dazzling light in the sun, contrasting with the vermilion temple wall tiles, forming a picture with Chinese aesthetics. The incense burner is filled with green smoke, and the sunlight forms a Tyndall effect through the ginkgo leaves. In addition to the lush ginkgo trees (currently 90% yellow), there is also a bougainvillea waterfall up to eight meters high in the temple. The three colors of red, orange and pink are interspersed to form a rare spectacle in the north, which is very beautiful. The temple is full of incense, and many people come here to seek marriage. It is said to be very effective. 📝Practical tips: 📍Location: Hongluo Temple 📌Address: No. 2 Hongluo East Road, Luzhuang Village, Huairou Town, Huairou District, Beijing 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself.
