The ancient ginkgo tree in the Guanyin Temple has turned yellow!

As autumn deepens, the ancient ginkgo tree in the Guanyin Temple will enter its best viewing season (mid-October to mid-November). The Guanyin Temple is now open for reservations to see the ginkgo tree planted by Li Shimin 1,400 years ago. Reservation guide: ① Reservations can be made 3 days in advance from October 21. Reservations can be made via the Zhongnan Chanyun account, with slots updated daily at 12:00 noon. ② The tree can be viewed daily from 9:00 to 16:30, with 30-minute time slots available. The temple receives about 3,000 visitors per day. ③ Each person can reserve for up to 2 people. Those who do not reserve in advance or do not have a reservation QR code will not be able to enter the temple. ④ Temple opening hours: 9:00–16:30 (last entry at 16:30, gates close at 17:00). ⑤ Visitors who arrive on time for their reserved time slot can enter the temple via a dedicated channel. Visitors who arrive early or are less than 1 hour late can also enter the temple via a dedicated channel, but those who are more than 1 hour late will need to queue again with those who did not reserve. Transportation guide: Bus: Take bus 734 or 333 to the "Nanshi Village" bus stop, then walk 870 meters to the temple. Self-driving: Navigate to the Guanyin Temple parking lot. There is also a parking lot in the nearby Luohandong Village, which costs about CNY 10. Travel tips: After entering the temple, follow the signs to the ginkgo tree platform. Please follow the temple rules during your visit and do not make loud noises or litter. Photography tips: ① When photographing ginkgo trees, you can shoot against the light. The ginkgo leaves will have a stronger sense of depth and light and shadow effects when shot against the light. Increasing the exposure compensation will make the picture brighter and more transparent. ② When taking photos with a mobile phone, pay attention to the changes in light. Use the lime filter + exposure compensation + structure adjustment when editing photos to make the ginkgo's golden yellow tone brighter. Food and snacks: There are many Shaanxi snacks in the small town outside the temple, such as tofu pudding and cold noodles. They are very suitable for tasting after a visit and are very authentic.
