Suddenly it was late autumn, and the thousand-year-old trees had "apricot" growing on them.

Autumn in the imperial capital is like opening a jar of old wine, the smell exuding is long-lasting and intriguing. Whenever the ginkgo turns yellow, the capital begins its beauty splendor. Thousand-year-old trees have "apricots" growing on them. The ginkgo leaves falling in the wind are like elves swaying in the air, announcing the passage of time with the yellowing of the ground. 📍Ginkgo viewing point: Beijing Dajue Zen Temple 🚗Transportation: There are multiple parking lots at the entrance of the scenic spot, 15 yuan/time, which is sufficient by visual inspection. It is not convenient to take the bus. The subway is not directly accessible and you need to transfer to the bus. 🕑Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 👉Features: 🔸Dajue Temple was built in the Liao Dynasty. There are more than 160 ancient trees in the temple. The 300-year-old magnolia and the 1,000-year-old ginkgo have long been famous and have become famous magnolia and ginkgo viewing spots in the capital. 🔸There are four ancient ginkgo trees in the temple, one male and one female in front of the Hall of Infinite Life. The male ginkgo tree among them is known as the "Ginkgo King". The trunk is green and powerful, and the branches are lush and leafy. It is very spectacular. Another ginkgo tree called "Nine Sons Embracing Mother" is located in the side yard of the Main Hall. Because one tree has many trunks, it forms a special landscape of a forest of single trees. Unfortunately, the ginkgo tree, known as the "male and female embrace", is located in the abbot's courtyard and is not open to the public. If you are interested, you can only take a look through the crack in the door. 🌟Tips for playing: 1. During the ginkgo viewing period, there are many tourists at Dajue Temple. It is recommended to block the entrance in the morning. There are relatively few people and not only the light is good, but also the angle is easy to find. 2. The ticket price for Dajue Temple is 20 yuan, and you can use the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Card. 3. The light for taking pictures under the dense ginkgo trees is relatively dark. When taking pictures with the camera, you can bring a reflector to fill in the light. 4. There are teahouses and Shaoxing restaurants in the South Magnolia Courtyard of Dajue Temple. There are many people on weekends, especially restaurants that require waiting for a table. It is best to get a reservation in advance. 5. The best viewing period for ginkgo this year has arrived, so hurry up if you want to catch the tail.
