Ginkgo biloba over a thousand years|Shanghai Ginkgo King (984)

|Shanghai Ginkgo King (984). The Shanghai Ginkgo Tree King, located in Anting Town, Jiading, Shanghai, the address of the ancient tree park: 230 Taihai Road, Anting Town, Jiading District. "Shanghai's first tree", the tree is 24.5 meters high, the diameter at breast height is more than 2 meters, the circumference at breast height is 6.5 meters, and the tree circumference is about 65 meters, which can barely be embraced by four people. This thousand-year-old ginkgo tree is not only tall and straight, but also still has lush branches and leaves, and the huge tree canopy shades a large area of the ground. Ginkgo is a dioecious tree. "Shanghai's first tree" is a male ginkgo, so it has never produced white fruit. A large low fence made of 20 white stone slabs surrounds the ancient tree. The sign clearly indicates that the number of the ancient tree is "0001". While protecting this old ginkgo grandfather, the ancient tree park has also planted a batch of new ginkgo trees around it, which can be described as the grandsons guarding the grandfather, forming a ginkgo forest that has begun to take shape. This ancient ginkgo tree, known as the "Shen City Tree King", has six dynasties of literature records, so it is also known as the "Six Dynasties Cultural Relic". In 1983, the famous historian Mr. Zhou Gucheng visited here, and there is a poem saying: "The cultural relics of the Six Dynasties have passed a thousand years, and the ancient temples and Zen forests are all gone. The ginkgo tree is still there today, knowing that the moisturizer has a source."
