The ginkgo leaves dance in the air and fall all over the sky, surrounded by green mountains, like an oil painting. It is so shocking that it feels like seeing a thousand years of time at a glance. Plus, the temple and Zen wind chimes make the atmosphere perfect. Keep the following guide for your visit! The ancient Guanyin Temple is located in Luohandong Village, Chang'an District, Xi'an. When is the best time to go? Xi'an's autumn is from late October to early December every year. At this time, the ginkgo trees are full of branches and are very beautiful, but the specific time can be determined according to the weather of each year. The temple is open from 9:00 to 17:00, and no ticket is required, but you need to make an appointment in advance (tickets are released at 12:00). The light is good at noon and in the afternoon, so it is best to go on a sunny day. When the sun shines, the ginkgo leaves seem to glow. How to get to the temple from the city? It is a bit far from the city, about 45 minutes by car, and you can drive or take a taxi. However, there are many people in autumn when the ginkgo trees are beautiful, and parking will be crowded, so taking a taxi is relatively convenient. How to visit the ancient Guanyin Temple? The temple is not big, and you can visit it counterclockwise, entering from the right door facing the ginkgo tree and exiting from the left door. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to visit. Girls should pay attention not to wear short skirts, and the lower garment should be longer than the knee, otherwise, you have to wrap a cloth to enter. There are many authentic Xi'an food stores around. Various kinds of noodles are affordable and taste good. For example, oil-splashed noodles are chewy, and the chili is fragrant. Add some chopped green onions and minced garlic, and mix them up, and the taste is perfect. There is also mutton soup with bread, and you can break the bread yourself and soak it in the delicious mutton soup, which is very satisfying. Biangbiang noodles are also a specialty, with wide and long noodles, meat sauce, vegetables, etc., and a rich taste.
