The whole internet is waiting for a tree to turn yellow.

But the only regret is that this is a limited-edition beauty unique to Xi'an! That's right, we're talking about the Guanyin Zen Temple. The Guanyin Zen Temple is located at the southern foot of Mount Zhongnan. This ancient temple once became famous online due to a 1,400-year-old ginkgo tree. It is said that this tree was planted by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty himself. Many people have come here to see this tree, which looks like it is wearing golden armor. There are several ginkgo trees in Shaanxi Province that are older than this one. But when it comes to beauty and aura, the one at Guanyin Zen Temple is unmatched. Every year, from mid-October to early November, the ginkgo tree, said to have been planted by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty himself, is covered in layers of gold. It shines brightly against the backdrop of Mount Zhongnan and the ancient temple. 🍁Here are some tips: ▫️There are several parking lots nearby. You can choose one that is convenient for you. Parking fee is 10 yuan and there is no time limit. ▫️It takes about 1 hour to drive from the city center to here. ▫️If you want to take aerial photos, it is recommended to take off from the parking lot. Drones are not allowed inside the temple. ▫️There are fewer people queuing during the week, and more people on weekends. ▫️If you want to eat, there are many restaurants in the alley at the exit, but the food is not very good. ▫️Just bring a wide-angle and telephoto lens for taking photos. 📍Address: Luohan Dong Village, Dongda Street, Chang'an District, Xi'an.
